- Anti-Vibration Design virtually eliminates the sideways movement of the blade in the cut, extending cut life and keeping cut smooth and true.
- Thin kerf design reduces waste, feeds easily, and is ideal for underpowered saws.
- Perma-Shield® Coating prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner.
