Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)
• Suitable for both ripping (with the grain) and crosscutting (across the grain) • Little to no tear out • Most common tooth grind • Fragile point of tips are prone to damage and wear • Typically used on general purpose and finishing blades |
 |
Triple Chip Grind (TCG)
• Balanced cutting force • Best wear resistance • Extra care must be taken to sharpen properly • Good chip flow • Typically used for cutting metal, aluminum, plastic, and solid surface materials |
 |
Flat Top Grind (FTG)
• Cuts on both sides of the kerf at the same time • Twice as effective as ATB grinds for fast cutting • Balanced cutting reduces stress on the plate • Higher amounts of chipping and tear out • Typically used for ripping (with the grain) and specialty applications |
 |
4 ATB & 1 FTG (4 & 1)
• Great for both ripping (with the grain) and crosscutting (across the grain) • Produces a smooth cut with little to no tear out • Fragile point of leading tip is prone to damage and wear • Typically used on general purpose and combination blades |
|
High Alternate Top Bevel (HI ATB)
• More acute top bevel grind and longer teeth than a regular ATB grind • Extra fine cuts in man made materials without using a scoring blade • Very fragile point of tips are prone to damage and wear • Typically used for chip free cuts in acrylics, Formica®, laminates, and melamine |
