Diablo 7-1/4 in. TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Circular Saw Blade, 40 Teeth delivers dependable, cleaner cuts for wood, plywood, and melamine. Designed for versatile crosscuts and confident light ripping, this blade is built to keep projects moving—whether you’re building cabinets, assembling shelving, or trimming trim molding. What sets this Diablo blade apart - TiCo Hi-Density Carbide for longer life and cooler performance: Advanced carbide construction enhances wear resistance and heat management, so you can push through tougher boards without dulling as quickly. - ATB grind for precision and clean edges: Alternating top bevel creates smoother crosscuts with minimized splintering on hardwoods, plywood cores, and melamine coatings. - Thin kerf (0.040 in) to reduce waste and improve feed rate: Less material removed per cut means faster cuts and less strain on your saw and workpiece. - 7-1/4 in diameter with a 5/8 in arbor: Broad compatibility with most standard circular saws, making it a reliable upgrade from basic blades. - Balanced for both crosscuts and light ripping: The 40-tooth design hits a sweet spot between cut quality and speed, ideal for cabinetry, shelving, and general carpentry tasks.
