This tooth geometry is specifically suited for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, as it reduces chipping and produces smoother cut edges compared to standard tooth profiles when working with these harder, more abrasive materials.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this blade have a negative hook angle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe -6 deg. hook angle is intentional for metal and non-ferrous cutting applications.
