ATB is a versatile grind that has a bevel from the top, outer part of the tooth pitched down toward the opposite of the blade. The bevel sequence alternates from one tooth pitched from the left to one pitched from the right. This sequence continues around the whole blade. ATB blades are best suited for cross cuts, specifically high tooth count ATB blades. ATB blades finish cuts with a clean, smooth edge. They can be used for rip cuts. ATB blades are good choices for mid-range tooth count general purpose blades.
