- Fine finish
- Crosscut
- Trim
- Plywood
Pick this when you want smooth crosscuts and trim cuts without switching to a table saw, and don't mind a slower feed than a framing blade.
Pros
- 40 ATB teeth leave a clean, near-splinter-free edge on trim and crosscuts
- Thin 0.059 in kerf reduces load so cordless saws hold RPM longer per charge
- Perma-Shield coating resists pitch buildup and gumming in softwoods and PT lumber
Cons
- 40 teeth cut noticeably slower than a 24T blade in thick framing stock
- Not intended for ripping thick hardwood; gullets clog and it can burn
- Thin kerf can wander if you push hard in a warped or bound board
