<p>The present invention provides a generally circular cutting blade (10) suitable for use in conventional circular saws or equivalent power tools such as table saws and the like. The cutting blade (10) of the present invention utilizes a pair of angled or concave portions or segments (as viewed from one side of the blade). A first portion (20) is located at the radially outward periphery of the blade (10) and a second portion (40) is disposed radially inwardly therefrom. These first and second angled or concave portions (20, 40) are connected by a relatively flat blade portion 30 that permits the radially outward portion (20) to flex or deflect slightly from side to side as the blade (10) is rotated through a work piece.</p>
