1m

Different types of tooth forms contribute to the way saws cut. So innovators have been crafting experimenting with tooth forms to create saws specialized to different jobs. Even the slightest change in the shape of the tooth can affect performance. There are typically a few common ones that can be found anywhere. They include:

-Standard- A form with evenly spaced teeth that has deep gullets and no rake angle

-Variable Positive- The spacing of the teeth and the size of the gullet are different, either slightly larger or smaller. The rake angle is positive.

-Hook- This blade has teeth which are equally spaced and a positive rake angle.
