Claim Text:
1. A saw blade for an oscillating saw, the saw blade comprising: a plate configured to be attached to an oscillating saw and oscillated about an axis of oscillation, the plate having a planar front surface and a planar rear surface; and a plurality of cutting teeth arranged in an arcuate tooth pattern at an end of the plate to define a cutting path, the arcuate tooth pattern centered at about the axis of oscillation; at least one cutting tooth of the plurality of cutting teeth having a rake surface and a primary relief surface that meet at a cutting lip, the primary relief surface forming an angle of between 5 degrees and 35 degrees with the cutting path, the at least one cutting tooth having a secondary relief surface extending from a trailing edge of the primary relief surface opposite the cutting lip, the secondary relief surface forming an angle of between 30 degrees and 50 degrees with the rake surface; a tip of the at least one cutting tooth of the plurality of cutting teeth having a kerf surface that is offset outwards from the planar front surface of the plate, the kerf surface further being substantially parallel to the planar front surface of the plate, the kerf surface extending from the cutting path towards the axis of oscillation by a length of less than twice a thickness of the plate at the plurality of cutting teeth.
