Freud LU84M011: 10" Combination Blade

Product Description Freud’s ultimate combination blade is precision-engineered for versatility, delivering exceptional performance in both ripping and crosscutting applications. Its innovative tooth configuration features one flat-top raker tooth for efficient ripping, followed by four alternate top bevel (ATB) teeth that provide clean, splinter-free crosscuts. Strategically placed large gullets ahead of the raker teeth ensure fast chip removal and smoother operation, making it ideal for a wide range of woodworking tasks. The blade also incorporates laser-cut anti-vibration slots that significantly minimize vibration and lateral movement during cutting. This not only eliminates the need for external stabilizers but also extends blade life and enhances cut quality by producing crisp, flawless finishes. Crafted with Freud’s exclusive Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Combination Blend, the blade maintains sharpness and durability even under heavy use. A Silver Ice Coating protects against corrosion, reduces heat, and prevents pitch build-up, ensuring cooler, cleaner, and more efficient cuts. Amazon.com The 10-inch Freud LU84M011 Combination Saw Blade offers a configuration that pairs flat teeth and alternating-top-bevel teeth to ensure strong performance both when ripping and when crosscutting. Also offering TiCo high-density carbide tips, laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that eliminate the need for stabilizers, and Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating to prevent the buildup of heat and resin, this multi-purpose blade is built for lasting convenience.Combination Tooth Design for Versatility and AccuracyThis blade's 50 teeth are arranged in groups of five, each of which includes one flat-top raker tooth for fast, accurate ripping. Each flat tooth is followed by four alternating-top-bevel (ATB) teeth that are particularly well suited to crosscutting, and large gullets between the teeth ensure effective chip clearance.This blade is designed for optimal performance when crosscutting materials that are 3/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick, or ripping materials that are 3/8 to 1-1/2 inches thick. It makes quick work of hard- and softwood, plywood, and chipboard. It can also handle laminates or tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.126 kerf.Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration DesignThis Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade.High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting PerformanceThis combination saw blade's 50 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "combination blend." Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge for longer when faced with a variety of applications, this blend includes just a little bit more high-density tungsten carbide than other TiCo blends. And it still offers the full mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that you expect from TiCo.With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--saving you time and money.Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion, Heat, and Resin BuildupThis blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your work surface and preventing the blade from warping. It also helps prevent resin or "pitch" buildup.Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup means longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster.This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.About Freud: A History of Innovative ManufacturingAn industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud America, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of superior carbide cutting tools for the woodworking industry.
