6-1/2 in. Miter & Chop Saw Blade, 40T

Description

Compact sliding miter saws and cordless miter saws in the 6-1/2 in. class need a blade tuned for the trim and finish cutting these saws handle. This 40-tooth blade on a 5/8 in. bore fits the compact saw format and delivers the crosscut quality needed for trim molding, door casing, base molding, and light framing crosscutting. At 40 teeth on a 6-1/2 in. diameter, tooth density is sufficient to produce clean crosscut faces on solid wood trim and finger-jointed material without the tear-out that lower tooth counts produce on small-diameter blades. The 5/8 in. bore is standard on compact miter saw arbors in this size class. Carbide tips are brazed to consistent angles to handle the repetitive crosscutting of trim lumber, hardwood molding, and finish materials that defines miter saw use on job sites and in trim shops. Forty teeth at this diameter balance cut quality against gullet capacity for the range of wood species and material thicknesses encountered in trim and finish carpentry work.
