Here is something that doesn't make since to me. You have 3 blades, there is more blade to penetrate than with a 2 blade. For example, if you draw a 1 1/2" circle, find the center and draw the 3 blades out you have 2 1/4", do the same with a 2 blade and you have 2". I would think the 2 blade would penetrate deeper
