What are the differences between cross cut and rip cut teeth on a saw blade, and how do they affect the cutting performance of the tool?

Cross cut teeth on a saw blade are designed to make smooth cuts across the grain of the wood, while rip cut teeth are meant for cutting along the grain. Cross cut teeth have more teeth per inch and are angled to create a cleaner cut, while rip cut teeth have fewer teeth and are more aggressive for faster cutting. The type of teeth on a saw blade affects the cutting performance by determining the type of cut it can make and the speed at which it can cut through the material.
