Saw <strong>Blade</strong>s<br />
<strong>Bosch</strong> circular saw blades apply the<br />
best technology in the construction<br />
industry to provide true performance.<br />
Circular saw blades from <strong>Bosch</strong><br />
provide leading-edge carbide and<br />
coatings for a full line of construction<br />
and laser-precision woodworking<br />
blades.<br />
Grind Configuration<br />
Shape and pattern of teeth, which determines application and performance.<br />
Grind Type<br />
Primary Application<br />
Flat Top Grind (FTG)<br />
Ripping, grooving and joints<br />
Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)<br />
Crosscutting, cutoff and trim of<br />
wood and plywood<br />
Triple Chip Grind (TCG)<br />
Hardwood, non-ferrous metals<br />
and plastics<br />
Multipurpose Carbide Tip (MCT)<br />
Combination tooth grind. Ripping and<br />
crosscutting of wood and composites<br />
Tri-Grind (TRI)<br />
Combined ATB and FTG — Fast, clean<br />
rip and crosscuts<br />
Solid Surface Grind (SSG)<br />
Optimized for clean cuts and long life<br />
in dense synthetic materials<br />
High 30˚ ATB (MH)<br />
Chip-free cuts on melamine and plywood<br />
<strong>Blade</strong> <strong>Anatomy</strong><br />
Kerf: Width of cut<br />
(also largest width<br />
of saw tooth)<br />
Gullet: Cutaway area between<br />
teeth for efficient chip removal<br />
Plate: Body of the blade,<br />
which supports and<br />
guides the teeth<br />
Hook Angle: Angle of<br />
tooth relative to blade<br />
radius, which determines<br />
aggressiveness of cut and<br />
workpiece finish
Daredevil Construction <strong>Blade</strong>s for Portable Saws<br />
Smooth framing blades start sharper and stay sharper<br />
Expansion slots<br />
control blade warp<br />
Control cut<br />
shoulders<br />
reduce kickback<br />
Triple-sharp teeth<br />
for smooth cuts and<br />
excellent finish<br />
Body slots<br />
reduce heat for<br />
true running<br />
Speed Coat finish<br />
means less friction<br />
and pitch buildup for<br />
fast, effortless cutting<br />
Thin-kerf design<br />
provides fast cuts<br />
and less waste<br />
Extra hard steel plate<br />
resists bending<br />
and deflection<br />
<strong>Bosch</strong> C3<br />
micrograin carbide<br />
stays sharper longer<br />
and resists impact<br />
damage
