Saw Blade Tooth Geometry: The Secret to a Perfect Cut
Not all "circular" blades are created equal. The right saw blade turns rough lumber into clean, precise cuts — while the wrong one burns, chips, or tears your material. In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of saw blades by material, machine, and tooth geometry so you can match every cut to the perfect blade and get pro-level results in your shop.
First, a definition: Geometry?
Blade geometry—the shape, angle, and spacing of each tooth—determines how a blade shears, scrapes, or slices through material. Choose the geometry for your material and cut type to get cleaner edges and longer blade life.
