Circular saw blades are used with circular saws, miter and chop saws, table saws, and concrete and masonry saws. They have teeth that cut through material and grooves to help limit vibration and disperse heat caused by friction that can cause overheating and damage the blade. Blades are designed for use with a specific material, such as wood or metal. Generally, larger blades are used for industrial applications and smaller blades are used in circular saws and other handheld tools.
