Tungsten carbide tips gradually lose their edge with use, particularly when cutting dense hardwoods or abrasive engineered materials. Remove the blade and inspect the cutting edges. A blade in this condition should be professionally resharpened or replaced. Continuing to use a blunt blade increases the risk of kickback and puts unnecessary load on your saw's motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- CSS Styles for the FAQ Section --\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.faq-section-styled {\nfont-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\nmargin-top: 40px;\n}\n.faq-section-styled h2 {\nfont-size: 2em;\nfont-weight: 700;\ncolor: #1C2228;\nborder-bottom: 2px solid #F4F4F4;\npadding-bottom: 15px;\nmargin-bottom: 30px;\n}\n.faq-section-styled details {\nbackground-color: #f9f9f9;\nborder: 1px solid #e9e9e9;\nborder-radius: 8px;\nmargin-bottom: 15px;\noverflow: hidden;\n}\n.faq-section-styled summary {\ndisplay: flex;\njustify-content: space-between;\nalign-items: center;\npadding: 20px;\nfont-weight: 600;\nfont-size: 1.1em;\ncolor: #1C2228;\ncursor: pointer;\nlist-style: none;\n}\n.faq-section-styled summary::-webkit-details-marker {\ndisplay: none;\n}\n.faq-section-styled .question-title {\ndisplay: flex;\nalign-items: center;\n}\n.faq-section-styled .question-title::before {\ncontent: '\\25B6';\nmargin-right: 15px;\nfont-size: 0.8em;\ncolor: #1C2228;\n}\n.faq-section-styled summary::after {\ncontent: '+';\nfont-size: 1.8em;\nfont-weight: 300;\ncolor: #1C2228;\ntransition: transform 0.2s ease-in-out;\n}\n.faq-section-styled details[open] summary::after {\ntransform: rotate(45deg);\n}\n.faq-section-styled .faq-answer-content {\nbackground-color: #FFFFFF;\npadding: 20px 20px 20px 55px;\nborder-top: 1px solid #e9e9e9;\n}\n.faq-section-styled .faq-answer-content p {\nmargin: 0;\nfont-size: 1em;\nline-height: 1.7;\ncolor: #2E2E2E;\ntext-align: left;\n}\n.faq-section-styled .faq-answer-content p strong {\ncolor: #1C2228;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Ideal Power Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46277077532887,"sku":"26256","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/1962\/5687\/files\/12X40T_27779_F_c6189653-420c-4199-a849-821a91f65bfe.jpg?v=1757311546"},{"product_id":"ideal-tct-blade-wood-12-x-60t-12-x-60tx25-4mm-mitre-saw-accessory-igs-pro-26257","title":"IDEAL TCT BLADE [WOOD] [12\" X 60T] [12\" X 60T X 25.4MM] [IGS PRO] MITRE SAW ACCESSORY - 26257","description":"\u003c!-- Short Description --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecision-Ground.
