Popular Tools has a line of saw blades dedicated to optimizing saws such as the Paul and Grecon/Weinig machines. The optimizing saw blades are precision cut, ground, tensioned and balanced to strict tolerances which are crucial for straight cuts at high RPMs. The saw body has specially formulated epoxy-filled expansion slots to eliminate noise and vibration. Due to the strenuous running conditions for optimizing saws we take special care and maintain extremely tight tolerances in manufacturing these blades. ATB for hard wood, HATB for soft wood.
