The 10-inch and 12-inch blades seem to be a common size for most of the cabinet saws. A higher-end professional saw supports a wide variety of blades – from 5-inch to 1 foot. The common materials of the cabinet saw blades are carbon steel, carbide blade and diamond-coated blades.
The carbon steel blade is better known for cutting different types of wood. They tend to be well-made and robust. The carbide blades are made for cutting steel, laminates, and metal. And the diamond-coated ones are known to be the toughest blade and used to cut stone, masonry and stone.
