Yea, I'd like to know also...  the width of .024 w/ 38 teeth or   

                                                                 .035 w/27 TPI

Does not explain the designation 3/0  or 3

    but meantime

The 3/0 vs the 3 is a size designation. I see folks have posted some of the measurements. It has to do with the thickness of the blade, for example 3/0 is .008 inches thick making a very thin blade that can do extremely tight turns and very delicate work. Normally blades this thick are easy to break and for thin wood. A #3 is .014 thick. Still cuts a very small kerf, is stronger and can be used on thicker wood. I use them up to 1/2" thickness but they will get dull faster then a larger blade. Also the thinner the blade the slower my feed rate goes. Hope this helps explain this.
