About Saw Blade

We carry only the finest saw blades available for cutting high density hardwoods such as Apitong. We've tested these blades ourselves and they are awesome!!

Mercer Silver Lightning® is a wood cutting carbide blade for every construction application. We offer the Alternating Top Bevel: ATB. This is by far the most common carbide tooth configuration, used for cutting solid wood, plywood and particle board.

12" 5/8" Arbor 44 toothed ATB profile Blade for Table and Sliding Compound Miter Saws

These high quality steel blades cut fast, clean and accurately. Their laser cut vents reduce noise and vibration, while stabilizing the blade and producing a smoother, cleaner cut and longer blade life. Our laser cut heat expansion slots allow the blade to expand due to heat build up while keeping the cut accurate and controlled. The laser cut arbor reduces vibration and wear and keeps rotation consistent. This tooth shape, combined with a negative or neutral hook or rake angle, is used when you need a real knife-like edge to cut through Hardwoods or other fine grained woods. Also sometimes used with a positive hook for eliminating tear-out when crosscutting.

12"e saw bades are typically used in larger stationary table saws and compound miter saws. 10"e saw blades are typically used in Jobsite and Portable table or compound miter saws.

About Silver Lightning Carbide

"The Silver Lightning Carbide blade is Great!!! I have used many different brands / styles of saw blade and I can honestly say I am very impressed with this saw blade. In my experience, Diablo brand blades have been the most reliable and longest lasting. That being said, The Silver Lightning Carbide blade puts the Diablo to shame. The Silver Lightning is simply a BETTER saw blade. It is quieter and does not vibrate like others I have used. I am equally as impressed with the life of the blade as I am the cut of the blade itself. The cut you can expect from this blade is smoother than you get from blades that sell for up around $100. The Silver Lightning blades just outwork and outlast the competition. This is the most impressive saw blade that I have EVER used."
