Ok, so this may seem obvious to some folks, but I'm having a tough time deciphering the acronyms on the Mafell catalog sheets regarding the tooth geometry of their blades.
Coming from the Festool platform, I'm familiar with their acronyms of:
ATB=Alternating Top Bevel, generally best suited to splinter free cuts in wood panels
TC=Triple Chip, designed mostly for thicker non-Ferrous metals, melamine, and other very tough, abrasive materials. Also good for producing flat-bottomed dado cuts.
For the Mafell blades, I'm assuming that "AT" means "Alternating Tooth", which I assume to be the equivalent of the Festool ATB blades.
I also see a 56 tooth "FT/TT" (092553) blade, but no description of its purpose, and...
I also see a 48 tooth, "TZ" (092569) blade, again no description of its intended purpose.
Any help? Thanks!!

Ah yes, that makes sense! Any idea on what the "TZ" tooth pattern is?
For the FT/TT blade, in addition to laminate flooring, would this be the go-to blade for aluminum and plastics?
