Choose the Correct Fit
Match blade diameter, arbor and speed rating to the saw. If the saw has a riving knife, also check the blade-body and kerf requirements.
Choose a tooth pattern for the material and finish you need. Support sheet goods and offcuts so they cannot sag and pinch the blade.
Installation & Care
Disconnect power before changing the blade. Follow the rotation arrow and fit the correct flanges with the guard operating freely.
Keep pitch buildup off the blade using a suitable cleaner. Replace blades with cracks, missing carbide tips or distorted bodies.

Important Product Questions
Will it fit any saw of the same blade size?
No. Match the 5-1/2 in diameter, 10 mm arbor and blade speed rating, then check the saw’s blade and guard requirements.
Can this blade cut metal?
This is a wood-cutting blade. Choose a blade rated for the metal and saw rather than using these wood-cutting teeth on fasteners or metal stock.
How do I reduce tearout?
Support the material close to the cut, use a sharp blade and a steady feed, and follow the saw’s recommendations for blade exposure and finished-face orientation.
