HOOK/RAKE -The more steeper hook angle of the tip, the more aggressive when cutting. It bites into the material more. Usually wood cutting on portable and table saws typically requires a positive hook. Negative hook gives resistance to feed so will not climb into the cut, this avoids ‘grabbing’. Ideal for cutting using chop saws and radial arm machines for crosscutting.
TRIPLE CHIP or TRAPEZOIDAL (TC) blades are good for cutting plastics. When combined with a negative hook they can be used for aluminum cutting and other non-ferrous metals. For panel sawing, the positive hook helps to obtain a high quality finish.
Advice when mounting the blade on your machine

2. The saw blade must run true on the mandrel and in perfect line with the fence or saw guide.
3. Make sure that clamping flanges are clean and flat and the blade is clamped securely on the arbor.
