Why Choose a Flat Top Grind Blade?

The key advantage of a Flat Top Grind (FTG) blade lies in its tooth geometry. Unlike alternate top bevel or specialised multi-purpose tooth patterns, FTG blades feature teeth with square cutting edges positioned perpendicular to the saw plate.

These teeth work in a chisel-like action, efficiently chopping and clearing material from the cut. This aggressive cutting action makes FTG blades particularly effective for rip cutting applications where speed is more important than achieving an ultra-fine finish.

This design provides:

• Fast material removal and feed rates
• Excellent performance when cutting along the grain
• Efficient chip clearance
• Strong, durable tooth geometry
• Ideal suitability for jointing applications
• Long-lasting cutting performance

When combined with fully hardened steel bodies and premium tungsten carbide tips, the result is a blade that delivers accurate cuts while resisting wear, heat build-up and deflection.
