This advanced laser-cut blade features a thin kerf, making it ideal for portable and low-powered saws on the jobsite. A permanent Perma-Shield coating keeps this blade free from gumming and corrosion, and laser-cut stabilizer vents reduce vibration and heat buildup for more precise cuts and longer cutting life.
