Make quick work of rips and crosscuts with the SKIL 5-1/2 In. 18-Tooth Carbide Tipped Circular Saw Blade. The circular saw blade’s induction-hardened alternating top bevel carbide teeth are designed to stay sharp and prolong the life of your cutting edge, and a clear, anti-stick coating reduces friction and heat with less bogging down. The coating also prevents rust and oxidation, keeping the blades fresh and ready for use. A thin kerf gets the circular saw blades spinning faster, easier for optimal performance, while expansion slot cutouts reduce vibration and ensure the blades run straight and true. This long-lasting, 18-tooth circular saw blade can be used for most general purpose applications and is great for making quick cuts.
