Popular Types Of Blades For Your Table Saw

Select the right blade for the job. There are thousands of blades available for your table saw...primarily, in one of the following four configurations:

• Combination Blades will perform both crosscutting and ripping operations on hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and composite boards. Although they're not the best blade for all jobs, they are the most economical alternative, providing you're willing to compromise a bit on performance.

• Rip Blades have fewer teeth than a Crosscut Blade with deeper gullets. They are designed for making the smoothest cuts when ripping boards with the grain of the wood. They should NOT be used for making crosscuts across the grain of the wood.

• Crosscut Blades have a lot of teeth and are designed for making the smoothest cuts when crosscutting straight or diagonally across the grain of the wood. They should NOT be used for making rip cuts with the grain of the wood.

• Thin Kerf All-Purpose Blades are recommended for use when you want to maximize the lumber you have or are cutting thick or tough woods. These blades will take a thinner saw kerf (usually about 3/32"), which saves your wood and reduces the strain on your table saw's motor.

Hollow Ground Blades are often referred to as "Planer Blades". They're made to be thinner near their centers than at the outer edges to provide more clearance while making the cut. As a result, they will make super-smooth cuts when crosscutting or ripping small amounts of stock off a board. They should be reserved for finish cuts only and not be used for making heavy sizing cuts.

• Plywood Blades are made for sawing plywoods, paneling and veneers. They offer lots of very fine teeth (often, up to 200) to minimize splintering and fraying when cutting thin or layered woods and can be used with equal results when crosscutting or ripping these thin materials.Visit the Woodworking Plans Website pages for more woodworking articles.

Saw table question - removing the blade guard?

I own a table saw and I need to cut quite thin stips of mdf (about 15mm wide). I have previously been adviced that the saw blade should be set so that it is just above the height of the material being cut. The problem I'm having is that to cut narrow stips of wood I obviously need the fence quite close to the blade and the blade cover above gets in the way. I can only get the fence in really close if I raise the blade height, which obviously raises the blade cover as well. But this now means the blade is well over the height of the material. My question is this, is it safe to remove the plastic blade guard when using the machine? What exactly is the point of the blade guard anyway apart from being a sort of safety feature to stop you getting hurt. If it is not safe to remove the cover, then is there anyway around this problem?

NO NO NO, But Hell No Never remove the guard If you need it Moved for cuttin small stuff, Pull the guard all the way open use a piece of duct tape to hold the guard up when cutting your pieces then remove it when done, you still have a saw with a guard and can still do what you need to
