What the specification says

Ø 254 × 30 mm (10 × 1.18 in), 2.6 mm kerf, 80 teeth. Part number 2608644343.

Tooth count, in one paragraph

Fewer teeth cut faster and rougher; more teeth cut slower and cleaner. The reason is chip clearance: each tooth has to carry its chip out of the kerf, and a coarse blade has room to do it. A fine blade in a deep rip cut has nowhere to put the waste, so it heats up and burns.

Roughly: 24 teeth on a 250 mm (9.84 in) blade for ripping solid timber, 40 to 60 for general work, 80 for crosscutting and sheet goods where the finish shows.

At 80 teeth this is firmly at the fine end: it is the blade for the cut that shows, and the wrong blade for anything thick.

What comes up most often

Why does kerf width matter?

Two reasons. A 2.6 mm (0.10 in) kerf wastes more timber than a 1.8 mm (0.07 in) one, which adds up across a project. And a wider kerf asks more of the motor, which matters on a saw under about 1,500 W — a thin-kerf blade is often the cheapest way to make an underpowered saw feel adequate.

Can I leave it on the saw permanently?

You can, and you will burn every rip cut you make with it. The honest answer in this category is that a table saw needs two blades and five seconds to change between them.
