Cross Cut Blades

 

If you run a rip blade across the grain you just get splinters.  If you run a cross cut blade into ripping, you just get smoke.  A combination blade solves that problem for rough carpentry work, but for finer woodworking you need to understand the cross cut blades.

For much more detail on techniques of cutting across the grain with a table saw, check out "Basic Cross Cutting" in the Table Saw Basics video set here in the Learning Curve.
