This specially designed saw blade makes exceptionally smooth cuts in melamine and other coated boards, without the need for scoring. The unique hollow grind, which pairs a triple-chip tooth with a raker tooth that’s ground to a concave profile, produces crisp, clean cuts. The grind is commonly used in vertical panel saws, such as those made by Striebig and Holz-Her. The negative hook angle is particularly suitable for vertical panel saws.
