Circular Saw Blades

[DFC1047]

Hi,,
I would like to read up on information about the various sorts of circular saw blades available . I have seen reference to ATB and other designations and I am unsure as to what this means, and how it affects usage etc.. Blade size for my usage is 250 or 254 mm, for table saw, sliding mitre saw and radial arm saw.
Can anyone point me at a useful article on the internet please.

Some good info on the Atkinson Walker site http://www.atkinson-walker-saws.co.uk/technical-info/

Thanks Doug B for that. It was just what I needed.

In my experience, Atkinson-Walker make the best circular saw blades, not many come close. They are very quiet, which means little vibration in the cut. They are also very helpful if you 'phone them & ask questions.
