What turns up in a Google for ATBF saw blade. "Freud LU84M008 8 Inch 40 Tooth ATBF Combination Saw Blade with 5/8 Inch Arbor Desription: Freud-LU84M008 8-Inch 40 Tooth ATBF Combination Saw Blade with 5/8- Inch Arbor. In many woodworking shops, one saw must serve multiple purposes. It must rip a piece of 4/4 oak and also crosscut a sheet of 3/4" plywood. The groups of five teeth include one flat tooth for ripping, followed by four alternate top bevel teeth for crosscutting and a large gullet for effective chip clearance. This blade also features laser cut anti-vibration slots, practically eliminating the vibration that resonates in standard blades. With this ultimate combination blade, there is no need for stabilizers." Google for AMANA ATBF saw blade, seems to be more like what you have, 3 tooth angle, angle, flat pattern. If you don't specifically search for another brand name, or don't add a -freud to the search, all you get as the top hits are the Freud blades. That's courtesy of Freud <s>bribing</s> paying Google for top placement in search results. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
