Amana's German-made saw blades are significantly less expensive than other professional quality blades. Unlike most so-called 'bargain blades', these are all a full 1/8" thick, have precision ground, resharpenable carbide teeth, good tooth geometry and careful machining. What they lack are heavy advertising, fancy packaging and special coatings. If you don't want to spend a gang of money for specialty tooling like laminate and non-ferrous metal blades, or if you just want a couple of first-rate back ups to your standard blades, then these Amanas are an excellent choice. Now you can afford several specific blades instead of relying on your old combination blade for everything.

This 12" 100-tooth miter saw/sliding miter saw blade has four Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) teeth followed by one flat-top Raker tooth to provide the smoothest gap-free cuts in moldings. It has a 5° negative hook so it won't "climb" into the cut, and can be used on a 12" radial arm saw. 1" bore, .126" kerf. Amana #MD12-106.
