A sharp blade with the right tooth set is the fastest way to boost cut quality, reduce heat, and stop wavy cuts. If you’re sawing weekly or every day getting your grind and set right pays off fast.

Explore the Sharpener + Dual Tooth Setter Combo and start keeping your blades in spec on your schedule.

Sharpeners vs. Setters (and why you need both)

• Sharpeners restore the tooth face and gullet profile for a crisp, efficient cut.
• Setters dial in side clearance so the blade tracks straight and runs cool.

Run one without the other and you’ll feel it: heat, slowdown, wandering kerf, and reject boards. The fix is simple sharpen consistently and set accurately.
