🔧 25 Common Blade Aid Terminologies

🔩 Blade & Chain Types

  1. Full-Chisel Chain – Aggressive cutting tooth with square corners; fast but dulls quicker.

  2. Semi-Chisel Chain – Rounded teeth for longer-lasting sharpness; good for dirty wood.

  3. Low-Profile Chain – Lightweight, used on smaller saws; easier for homeowners.

  4. Square Ground Chain – Pro-level sharpness; hand-filed or machine-only precision.

  5. Carbide-Tipped Blade – Durable circular saw blade used for metal, wood, and composites.

  6. Dado Stack – Interlocking blades used to cut grooves in woodworking.

  7. Reel Blade – Used in golf and turf mowers; requires spin or relief grinding.

  8. Lawn Mower Blade – Flat or mulching blades for walk-behinds and riders.

  9. Circular Saw Blade – Used in miter, table, or track saws; varies by tooth count.

🪚 Sharpening & Repair Terms

  1. Laser-Guided Sharpening – Precision alignment for consistent factory-spec angles.

  2. Tooth Angle – The front-facing angle of a blade tooth (e.g., 25°, 30°); impacts performance.

  3. Raker Depth – Depth gauge on chainsaws controlling chip thickness.

  4. Balance Check – Ensures blades spin true; avoids wobble and motor wear.

  5. Tip Replacement – Swapping chipped or worn carbide teeth with new ones.

  6. Tooth Profiling – Shaping the contour of each cutter for optimal cutting.

  7. Gullet Cleaning – Removes debris buildup from blade gullets to restore cutting flow.

  8. Deburring – Polishing off burrs for a cleaner, longer-lasting edge.

  9. Factory Spec – Returning blades to OEM angles and dimensions.

  10. Hook Angle – Determines how aggressively a blade pulls into material.

  11. Side Bevel – The angle along the sides of a tooth; affects finish quality.
