sawblades
Circular cutting edges
Sawblades are the cutting components of saws—flat pieces of metal with toothed edges that slice through wood, metal, or other materials.
Different types suit different purposes: circular sawblades spin at high speed, while reciprocating sawblades move back and forth.
