Super Skip, 5" (130 mm)
Pégas Super Skip is an aggressive blade that still leaves a smooth finish. The gaps between the teeth are wider than on a standard Skip, so the blade cuts very quickly and leaves a clean edge. Designed for hard and medium-hard woods, and it also works in acrylic at reduced speed.
