Exchange-A-Blade EAB 7.25″ x 40T Razorback Blade

The Razorback tears through finishing cuts faster than any standard finishing blade has a right to. That 27° hook angle changes everything — aggressive enough to cut like a ripping blade while maintaining the clean edges contractors need for exposed surfaces.

This 7-1/4” blade handles plywood, particle board, laminate, flooring, lumber under 1”, moulding, hardwoods, softwoods, and veneers. Built for both circular saws and cordless saws, it spins up to 8,000 RPM. Montana contractors dealing with cold shops and outdoor cuts appreciate the high-heat, heavy-duty design — temperature swings won’t affect performance.

Performance That Breaks the Rules

Traditional finishing blades run 5° to 15° hook angles. Conservative. Safe. Slow. The Razorback’s 27° hook angle provides significantly faster cutting speeds without the tearout you’d expect from such an aggressive geometry.

The inset sock-tooth design eliminates lost teeth — a real problem when you’re pushing production speeds. Losing carbide tips mid-cut ruins materials and schedules. Exchange-A-Blade solved it with engineering, not wishful thinking.

The precision-sharpened C3 micrograin carbide tips stay sharp longer than standard C2 carbide. Worth it when the nearest sharpening service might be hours away.
