*Outer cutters cannot be used individually. The actual kerf of each is approx. 1/8". Placed together, the result is exactly 1/4".
**TB/F indicates that the outside blades are top-beveled in one direction only. Flat-topped "raker" tips are utilized in a "4 and 1" grind pattern. The chippers are flat-top grind to produce the nice, flat dado bottom surface.

"Its C4 carbide teeth are thicker and taller than the Forrest blade, so you may just get a few more trips into the sharpening service with this blade before it needs a fresh set of theeth."
