Most of us need to rough cut sheet goods done to manageable sizes before getting them on to the table saw for final sizing. The challenge is in getting a cut from a circular saw that doesn’t look like a beaver chewed through your expensive sheet stock.

Freud’s Ultimate Plywood and Melamine blade, $50, promises splinter-free surfaces on both faces of your sheet stock. The cut quality comes from a bunch of characteristics. With 60 teeth, this is a very fine-toothed circular saw blade. The blade has a Hi-ATB (alternate top bevel) tooth geometry, which is the tooth type that typically leaves the smoothest edge. It’s also a thin kerf blade, which will be especially helpful for under powered saws.

Combined with a straight edge and your circular saw, this blade provides the opportunity for chip-free cutting.  No beaver marks…..
