A Complete Guide

Spyder® Circular Saw Blades are engineered to deliver fast, precise, and reliable cutting performance across wood, metal, composites, laminates, fiber cement, and other demanding materials. From rough framing and demolition work to ultra-fine finish carpentry and specialty material cutting, each blade is purpose-built with optimized tooth geometry, advanced grind configurations, and ultra-tough NiCo™ carbide teeth for longer life and cleaner cuts. Features like Anti-Friction Coating™ help reduce heat and blade binding, while stabilization vents minimize vibration and warping for smoother operation under heavy loads. Different tooth styles, including ATB, TCG, FTG, Hi-ATB, and specialized demolition geometries, allow each blade to excel in specific applications, from aggressive ripping and chip-free laminate cuts to polished finish work and controlled metal cutting. Choosing the right circular saw blade improves cut quality and efficiency while extending blade life and helping achieve safer, more controlled results on the jobsite. Use the guides and charts below to match your material, application, and desired finish with the ideal Spyder® blade solution.

TYPES OF

SAW BLADE TEETH

Alternate Top Bevel Teeth (ATB)

Alternate Top Bevel Teeth (ATB)

Teeth alternate left and right bevel angles, slicing through fibers like a knife.
• Produces cleaner crosscuts in wood, laminates, and plastics
• Minimizes splintering and tear-out
• Ideal for fine woodworking and finish carpentry

Triple Chip Grind Teeth (TCG)

Triple Chip Grind Teeth (TCG)

Teeth alternate between a flat-topped “raker” tooth and a trapezoid-shaped
chamfered tooth.
• Extremely durable cutting edge, designed for hard, brittle, or abrasive materials
• Handles non-ferrous metals, plastics, laminates, and composite materials
• Stays sharper longer under heavy use

Modified Triple Chip Grind Teeth (M-TCG)

Modified Triple Chip Grind Teeth (M-TCG)

Enhanced variation of the TCG design, featuring an optimized chamfer and rake
angle for superior performance in demanding materials.
• Engineered for cutting abrasive composites, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and laminates
• Delivers smoother finishes and reduced burring compared to standard TCG
• Extended tooth life and durability under high-heat or heavy-load applications

Demo Drive Teeth (DD)

Demo Drive Teeth (DD)

Rugged, reinforced tooth geometry designed for nail-embedded wood
and demolition applications.
• Withstands impact with nails, screws, and other jobsite debris
• Fast, aggressive cuts through construction lumber
• Extended life under rough conditions compared to standard ATB

High-Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB)

High-Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB)

Similar to ATB, but with a much steeper bevel angle (typically 25°–40°).
• Ultra-smooth cuts with near-polished edges
• Excels in veneered plywood, melamine, and fine laminates
• Reduces chipping in brittle materials

Alternate Top Bevel with Raker Teeth (ATB-R)

Alternate Top Bevel with Raker Teeth (ATB-R)

ATB teeth for slicing action, combined with a flat-top raker tooth for clearing material.
• Balances clean cutting with fast chip removal
• Versatile across rip cuts and crosscuts
• Works well in hardwoods, softwoods, and construction lumber

Flat Top Grind Teeth (FTG)

Flat Top Grind Teeth (FTG)

Square, flat-faced teeth—the most straightforward cutting profile.
• Fast, efficient ripping through solid wood
• Strong tooth design handles heavy feed rates
• Ideal for quick stock removal, not finish work

Types Of

Circular Saw Blades

General Purpose/Ripping

Spyder's General Purpose and Ripping blades provide clean rips or crosscuts
in hardwoods, softwoods, pressure-treated woods, plywood and OSB.

Spyder combination circular saw blade with blue spider logo on a white background

Combination

Spyder's Combination blades deliver results when one blade is needed for ripping and crosscutting. The large gullets (positioned every five teeth) provide extra space for chip removal for ripping while also providing the ideal teeth spacing for the small bites required when crosscutting.

Ultra Fine Finish

For ultra-smooth, precision cuts with minimal tear-out, a fine-finish blade is the
perfect choice. With a higher tooth count designed for clean, crisp edges, these
blades turn every cut into a masterpiece, leaving no room for rough finishes or
splintered surfaces.

Thick Kerf for Miter Saw

Spyder's Thick Kerf blades are optimized for use on a miter saw to deliver the most precise cut every time. Large vents on the body of the blade provide heat dissipation to keep the blade cool.

Spyder polished finish circular saw blade with blue spider logo on a white background

Polished Finish

Spyder's Polished Finish blades deliver the ultimate in precision, creating flawless, glass-smooth cuts with zero tear-out. They're the perfect blades for high-end
cabinetry, fine woodworking, and delicate materials like veneer and hardwoods.
