Preview: Hitachi’s New VPR-Series Circular Saw Blades

Hitachi claims these new circular saw blades are “the fastest on the market” because of their “hollow-ground tooth design,” which they say makes each tooth act like a “scoop” to rip out wood and extend blade life.
During this initial launch, they’ll release two blades: a 7-1/4″ 24-tooth blade with an alternating tooth bevel design (for a fast, clean cut, they say) and a 7-1/4″ 24-tooth with the u-shaped cutting design mentioned above. Hitachi claims both blades offer reduced vibration because of their shared design.
Of course, seeing is believing, and we look forward to taking a look at these first hand when they’re on shelves soon.
