When to choose it

Choose this narrow parting blade when the width of the gap between pieces matters. A thin kerf removes less material between adjoining sections than the wider standard parting profiles in the same range.

The listed kerf and the height of the blade are different dimensions. Use the one-sixteenth-inch kerf as the selection reference and confirm total length with the seller if clearance behind the rest is tight.
