saw blades

Cutting tool edges

Saw blades are the cutting components of saws—thin, flat pieces of metal with teeth along one or more edges.

Different blades suit different materials and cuts: circular blades for power saws, reciprocating blades for jigsaws, band blades for continuous cutting.

Blade choice affects cut quality: You'll need a fine-tooth blade for that laminate.

The teeth do the work; the blade provides rigidity and guides the cut.
