Blade You Can Use With A Miter Saw

Miter saws work best when they have a higher number of teeth on the blade. We'll take a look at the top picks here:

Crosscut Blades: While table saws can handle crosscuts and tears, miter saws are undoubtedly suitable for crosscuts. That's why you should look for inserts with a high tooth count and smaller gullets. Negative rake angles are also useful, as the blade will enter the wood more gracefully.

Combination Blades: While you probably won't cut with a miter saw, you may still cut some materials that aren't pure wood. Whether it's plywood, particleboard, or something else, a combination blade will do the trick while still making a clean cut on the wood.

Carbide Miter Blades: As with table saws, it pays to purchase carbide blades for a miter saw. A miter saw is suitable for precision work, while a carbide tip can chew through the densest hardwoods with ease.
