Spyder's Framing blades excel in rough and fast cuts in general construction. They are commonly used for crosscutting and ripping dimensional lumber, plywood, and OSB.
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.
SAW BLADE TEETH
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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
