| About Hook Angles | |
 |
The tooth's hook angle is another variable that factors in to a sawblade's applicability for cutting various woods, aluminum or plastics. • A tooth's hook angle ranging from 15 degrees to 25 degrees is suited for cutting soft, hard and exotic wood (Fig.11). |
 |
• A tooth's hook angle ranging from 5 degrees to 15 degrees is suited for cutting chipboard, MDF, Plywood and laminates (Fig.12). |
 |
• A tooth's hook angle ranging from 0 degrees to 5 degrees is indicated for cutting chipboard panels, MDF and non-ferrous metals. (Fig.13). |
 |
• A tooth's hook angle ranging from 0 degrees to -10 (negative hook angle) degrees is indicated for cutting aluminum, plastics, double sided laminates and non-ferrous metals. (Fig.14). |
