Steel circular saw blades

Steel circular saw blades are cheap. These blades are fine for soft wood or other soft materials, but will dull quickly when used with hardwood.

Carbide circular saw blades have carbide cutting tips. These blades are among the most expensive but can last up to 20 times longer than other blades.

A number of saw blade types are right for cutting wood. Ripping saw blades (to cut with the grain) and crosscut saw blades (to cut across the grain) are two common saw blades perfect for wood.

Combination blades combine ripping and crosscut features in a single blade. Combination saw blades are good for miter cuts. When looking at combination blades, remember that a higher tooth count will result in a smoother cut.

Plywood blades are perfect for cutting thin sheets of wood. The high tooth count of plywood blades makes for a very smooth cut.

A dado blade is used to cut precise grooves in wood. These blades, which include two cutting surfaces and a set of chippers, can only be used safely with bench or table saws.

Dimensional or engineered materials often need to be cut to tight tolerances. A thin kerf saw blade has a narrow profile that makes a then, precise cut.

Abrasive saw blades are coated with ground material to cut through hard material. An abrasive saw blade is perfect for cutting masonry, stone or steel.

Diamond coated blades are a special type of abrasive saw blade. Diamond blades are designed to cut glass, tile or ceramic materials.
