- Ripping
- General purpose
- Crosscut
The default do-everything table saw blade: a 40-tooth combination grind that rips lumber and crosscuts sheet goods well enough that most DIYers leave it mounted year-round.
Pros
- 40-tooth ATB grind rips and crosscuts acceptably, so you rarely swap blades for general shop work
- TiCo carbide holds an edge far longer than budget blades and can be resharpened several times
- Perma-Shield non-stick coating resists pitch buildup and gum, keeping cuts cooler under load
Cons
- 40 teeth leave a coarser edge than a dedicated 80T crosscut blade on trim and plywood veneers
- Full 0.098 in kerf wastes more material and asks more of underpowered contractor saws than a thin-kerf blade
- ATB teeth chip melamine and double-sided laminate unless you score first or add a zero-clearance insert
