General Purpose

A general purpose blade is the everyday workhorse — a balanced tooth count and grind that rips and crosscuts solid wood and sheet goods well without specializing in either. It's the blade most shops leave on the saw for day-to-day work.

The default blade

A great all-rounder for mixed work; step up to a dedicated rip, cut-off, or laminate blade when a specific cut demands it. Carbide-tipped and resharpenable for long service.
