G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw -27-
Blade Selection
Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential
for the safe and efficient use of your table saw.
Ignoring this important step could result in dam-
age to the saw and serious injury to the operator.
Below are the most common saw blades and
their uses.
1. Rip Blade (shown in Figure 31): Used for
cutting with the grain. Typically, 10" rip
blades have between 20-40 teeth, a flat-top
ground profile (see Figure 32 for saw tooth
profiles) and large gullets to allow for large
chip removal.
