The Prestige™ general-purpose blade cuts smoother and stays sharper, for longer, in solid wood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. It features a massive tool-steel plate (.102″ thick!) with expansion slots and copper plugs that practically eliminate vibration. The 40 teeth are ground with a steep 20° bevel angle, alternating left and right, for crisp, clean cuts both across the grain and with the grain. The 18° hook angle yields an effortless feed. The precision-ground D-10 carbide teeth are individually computer-verified to have minimal run out.
