What it is for

Getting through heavy timber quickly. Beams, sleepers, posts, tree work and strip-out where the cut face will never be seen. The tooth pitch is deliberately coarse and widely spaced so the gullets carry sawdust out of a deep cut instead of packing solid — which is what causes a finer blade to bind and stall halfway through thick stock.

Working with it

• Clean timber only. This is a wood blade; a hidden nail will take the teeth off it. For nail-embedded wood use a bi-metal demolition blade.
• Let it run. Forcing a coarse blade makes the saw bounce rather than cutting faster.
• Keep the shoe planted against the timber throughout the cut.
• Expect a rough edge. That is the trade for the speed.
• Green and wet timber clogs faster, so back out occasionally to clear the gullets.

Tooth pitch, blade length and capacity are in the table below.
