Selecting a Sliding Miter Saw Blade

You can’t beat the cut quality of a sliding miter saw for your woodworking projects. Master woodworker George Vondriska discusses some of the key components of the DeWalt Precision Trim Saw Blade that make it optimal for cutting materials like aluminum and MDF, and teaches you what to look for when shopping for your own sliding miter saw blade including teeth count, hook angle and an option called a Triple Chip Grind (TCG).

   Would a negative hook angle blade work for a non-sliding miter saw? If not what would be the proper hook angle for one?

     Hello Randy,

     Thank you for contacting us.

     I generally follow the Freud saw blade selector to determine the best configuration for any given tool in my shop: https://www.freudtools.com/explore/saw-blades
     You can apply the logic even if you end up going with another brand of blade.

     Sincerely,
