Saw Blades How To
THE BASICS
Carbide Finish Blade — Cuts Through Aluminum and More
With 60 teeth on 7¼″, the Saw Dog Blade cuts like a finish blade — leaving a crisp edge on materials like melamine, hardwoods, and composite decking. Using the same carbide as our Multipurpose Drill Bits, it will also cut materials like aluminum and solid surface. If you have a variable speed table saw, our blade will run great at slower speeds too, though this isn’t necessary. This blade is NOT a metal cutting wheel, but it can handle wood with nails in it. See the material guide below for specifics. If you run into any issues, call us at 1.800.252.1330.
Material Specific Tips
Saw Dog Blades leave clean crisp cuts in wood — hard, soft, and everything in between.
Cut extruded and stock aluminum with the Saw Dog Blade, adding versatility to your saw.
The surface coating of melamine is notoriously fragile when cut. Saw Dog Blades slice through without disrupting it. Great for modifying flat-packed furniture.
Carbon fiber is brittle when cut and dulls saw blades quickly. The Saw Dog Blade stays sharp longer and won’t chip or fracture the material. When it does dull, sharpening is covered by our Lifetime Guarantee.
The density of teeth on Saw Dog Blades means you can cut brittle plastic sheets without chips or cracks.
The Saw Dog Blade cuts through composite decking and PVC board like butter. Perfect for building a new deck this summer!
Cutting multiple materials at one time is where the Saw Dog Blade really excels. If you’re working on an exterior door frame with aluminum cladding, plastic supports, and a wood core — there aren’t many other blades that will get the job done!
One Blade. Every Material. Guaranteed for Life.
The Saw Dog Blade is made in the USA and built to out-cut and outlast standard saw blades. Like every Bad Dog product, it’s backed by our lifetime guarantee — if it ever fails to perform, we sharpen or replace it. You just pay return shipping.
LESS BARK. MORE BITE.
