10 in. Cut-Off Saw Blade, 80T TCG

Description

Non-wood materials demand different tooth geometry than solid wood. The triple chip grind on this 80-tooth 10 in. blade uses alternating flat-topped trapper teeth and chamfered raker teeth to cut abrasive, brittle, and composite materials without chipping or cracking the cut edge. TCG geometry is the right choice for non-ferrous metal, solid surface panel, laminate-faced sheet goods, MDF, PVC trim board, fiber cement, and dense plastic where brittle fracture behavior of the material demands a scraping tooth action rather than the shearing action of ATB. At 80 teeth on a 10 in. blade with a 5/8 in. bore, tooth density is high enough to keep surfaces clean in materials that chip at lower tooth count while gullet capacity remains adequate for the fine powder and chip load those materials produce. Carbide tips are ground to TCG geometry to handle abrasive composites and metal without rapid edge degradation. Production shops processing mixed material workflows — melamine, aluminum, solid surface, and composite alongside wood — benefit from a dedicated 10 in. TCG blade for non-wood cutting operations.
