Introducing the Irwin Marathon 6-1/2 in. Carbide Circular Saw Blade with 40 teeth—designed to deliver precise, clean crosscuts and dependable performance when paired with cordless saws.

The 40-tooth count strikes a balance between fast feed rates and a refined cut, making it ideal for finish-oriented projects where edge quality matters.
