I cannot really add anything about the original question, but ... well, these kind of saw blades just cannot be used safely on a (handheld) grinder.abdulbadii said:

Oops! You're right. That is a TOTAL of 72 Teeth around the blade.Averagesupernova said:
The numbers on a wood cutting blade typically indicate the blade's diameter, the number of teeth, and the arbor size. For example, a blade labeled "10 x 60T x 5/8" means it has a 10-inch diameter, 60 teeth, and a 5/8-inch arbor hole.
The number of teeth on a blade affects the quality and speed of the cut. Blades with more teeth (e.g., 60T) provide a smoother, finer cut and are ideal for finish work, while blades with fewer teeth (e.g., 24T) cut faster and are suitable for rough cuts or ripping wood.
The kerf of a blade refers to the width of the cut that the blade makes in the material. A thinner kerf means less material is removed, resulting in less waste and requiring less power from the saw. Kerf width is an important specification for ensuring compatibility with your saw and the type of work you are doing.
The hook angle, or rake angle, is the angle of the teeth relative to the center of the blade. Positive hook angles (teeth leaning forward) are aggressive and cut faster, suitable for ripping. Negative hook angles (teeth leaning backward) provide more control and are better for crosscutting and minimizing tear-out in delicate materials.
Wood cutting blades are typically made from high-speed steel (HSS), carbide-tipped, or sometimes diamond-tipped. HSS blades are cheaper and good for general-purpose cutting. Carbide-tipped blades are more durable and stay sharp longer, making them ideal for frequent use and harder woods. Diamond-tipped blades are used for cutting extremely hard materials but are less common for general woodworking.
