Hook angle affects feed rate, safety, and cut quality. Positive hook angles (like 10° or 15°) promote faster feeding and are common for crosscut and general purpose blades. Negative hook angles (like -5°) provide more control and safety, especially on miter or radial arm saws, reducing the chance of grabbing or kickback. A.G.E. saw blades offer a range from -5° (MD10-806, MD12-106-5/8) to 15° (MD160-280TB), allowing you to choose the safest and most efficient angle for your task.
