We’ve also got a roundup of the best 10” table saw blades.

Size

Both saw blades have a diameter of 10” and have a 5/8” arbor hole. Most table saws have a 5/8” arbor and can take blades up to 10” in diameter. This means both blades will be widely usable on a range of saws.

The 10” x 60T has a plate thickness of 0.071” and cuts a 0.095” (thin) kerf. The 10” x 24T ATB has a 1/8” (full) kerf. (The term “kerf” is the width of the cut that the blade leaves in the material being cut.)

A 1/8” kerf is called a “full” kerf and should work on a wide range of table saws. On saws with less power, a full-kerf blade could cause the saw to have trouble with thicker or harder material, when compared with a thin-kerf blade.

A kerf under 1/8” is termed a “thin” kerf. Thin kerfs waste less material than full-kerf blades and make it easier for saws to cut through thick or hard wood. Most, but not all, table saws can take thin-kerf blades. Ensure your riving knife is thinner than the kerf, or dangerous binding can take place.

Teeth

Both products have teeth in an ATB configuration. The 10” x 60T has 60 carbide teeth. The 10” x 24T ATB has 24 C4 carbide teeth.

Blades having a tooth count under 40 are generally geared towards ripping wood lengthwise. For crosscuts or general-purpose use, you should consider options with more teeth. Blades having between 40 and 60 teeth are usually termed general-purpose blades. They will do an adequate job at ripping as well as crosscutting, but not quite as well as a blade specifically made for these cuts.

Alternate top bevel (ATB) teeth are cut on a bevel as opposed to being straight across. This design allows them to slice through wood instead of chewing out chunks, resulting in smoother crosscuts. ATB teeth do have a tendency to be less durable than flat-top teeth.
