It doesn't make any sense really, but these blades cut way faster, and with less deflection on the cut, when compared to the "clean cut" Bosch blades for wood. These are very aggressive, they practically cut so fast it scares me and I think maybe the wood will be torn to little shreds but when Iook at the wood it's really clean after the cut, no saw marks at all. These blades are the only Bosch blades I've tried so far that give a vertical cut with a zero degree pitch and very close to zero degree vertical cut even with curved cuts on 3/4 plywood. Somehow they also turn very easily too despite being a wider blade, they make turns very easily in the wood without any friction and without much deflection. I haven't tried these without the splinter guard on my Bosch saw so I don't know how clean the cut would be without that, more testing is needed. So far this is the most accurate Bosch blade I've tried and I tried 4 other ones.
