Are good blades worth the extra expense? Freud's done some impressive engineering and has come up with features that make these blades today's popular choice for woodworkers. The story on Freud blades is that the micrograin carbide/titanium tips stay sharp longer; the laser-cut body helps keep the hard steel blade flat and true; tri-metal brazing prevents cracks and failed joints; and the antikickback design ensures safer operation. While we may not understand the physics of these features, we do know these blades cut great and run quiet and chatter-free. They're Teflon-coated to reduce friction and heat buildup and to protect against rust, corrosion, and resin buildup. It's easy to imagine coaxing better performance and quality work out of older or underpowered saws with these Freud blades. This 10-inch, 80-tooth blade is designed to make sharp, thin kerf cuts on hard and soft woods. --Tim Block
Forrest's blades offer a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge that is as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible. Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and restraightened multiple times throughout the process. Think of a Forrest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. Forrest stands behind it's blades by offering a sharpening service that bring blades back to the exact tolerances offered in a new blade.

About this General Purpose Saw Blade
The Freud 10-inch 40-tooth hyper-finish fusion saw blade features laser-cut blades from high strength steel and a revamped body design that features anti-vibration slots to render the blade acoustically dead. The lack of resonance results in a blade that not only runs quieter, but also vibrates less. A new anti-vibration design virtually eliminates all vibration and produces the cleanest cuts possible, making the use of a stabilizer unnecessary. There's also a permanent non-stick coating that protects against corrosion, gumming, and "pitch" build-up. The blade's cutting edge was designed with tri-metal brazing for sharpness and durability. The brazing also helps to reduce unwanted kickback, making the blade safer and more efficient. The unit comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

This blade is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Glad I did it
This blade makes a good table saw a great table saw. It is stable, quiet (compared to everything I've used before), doesnt burn, and holds an edge. Glad I spent the money.
Customer Review: Silky smooth cuts, no burn marks.
I don't know what the guy is talking about with the burn marks, but I don't think it's the blade that's causing them. Everything I've cut so far has been smooth and clean ~ the cut so smooth it's almost shiney like it's been buffed. I guy who has a woodworking/industrial tools store sold me the blade, told me I'd be just as happy with it as the Forrest WWII and he sells WWII blades also (for a little less than twice the price). He knew I wanted a good value, but I would have gone ahead and bought the WWII if this one wasn't really good. He must be counting on my repeat business, otherwise he'd go out of business being that honest and not trying to push more expensive goods on customers. I have no idea why the price has gone up to a hundred bucks on Amazon? What's up with that? I got my for less than seventy WITH a free 5" stiffener.

Customer Review: does not cut straight!
I had high expectations when buying this blade. I bought it to install hardwood flooring and needed perfectly straight cross-cuts. I used this blade on a new Ridgid 12 inch compound miter saw. This blade cuts a scallop upon entering the wood for about a 1/8 of an inch then it cuts straight for the rest of the cut. The result is that when the wood is lined up against something straight there is a definite concave line in the middle where the wood should be touching the flat surface but isn't. It's maybe a 1/32 gap but a gap is a gap and when paying $60 for a high quality saw blade there shouldn't be any gaps. I triple checked my miter saw alignment and even completely removed the fence and reinstalled it to ensure that it was on proper and square. It was. I checked the blade against a square and found it to be flat. I tried changing the speed of my cuts. Cutting very slowly made the cuts worse, leaving ridges throughout the cut. Cutting faster didn't make a difference. I took this diablo blade off and put on the OEM Ridgid 60 tooth blade that came with the saw, checked for square and made a few cuts. The result: perfectly straight cuts. My conclusion is that the diablo blade deflects upon initial contact with the wood but rights itself after sufficient penetration. I must note that I used the blade to cut Madrone which is an extremely hard and dense wood. Harder than Maple and Red Oak. I don't know if this blade would have the same cutting problems on a softer wood but according to the manufacturer this blade is suitable for hardwood flooring.
Customer Review: Burn Baby Burn
Using this saw on my 12" Delta twin Laser for my rehab business, I have been dissapointed by it's tendancy to burn and/or its durability. While it is certainly possible that I or one of my crew cut something we shouldn't have this blade hasn't lasted as long as the two previous blades on my saw. Now when I try and cut anything wider than a 2x4 I get smoke, and If I am using the full crosscut capability we get so much that I need to open the windows. As I ususally don't need a real fine cut, next time I will get something more durable and with fewer teeth.

Customer Review: Freud Avanti Saw Blades
These are excellent blades at great prices for the everyday enthusiast of wood and thing malleable. I recommend them for every job from plywood to fine hardwoods. The thin kerf marks a precise cut with out wiggle of some other blades. Highly recommend them for both value and usefulness
Customer Review: A Huge Difference!!!!
This blade has made a tremendous difference installed on my Delta TS200LS Shopmaster table saw. With the included blade, my saw was noisy, cuts where very rough with lots of tear-out. With this blade, there is NO vibration at all, and the sound of the blade is amazing!! You can hear it "whining" nicely! I ripped a piece of Hemlock Fir when I first installed the blade and it left an edge that didn't need to be ran through a jointer. No burns, No tear-out... Perfect Cut!!!

Customer Review: Another excellent Freud product
I purchased this blade for use with my 10 inch compound miter saw. Blade leaves a smooth end cut with little or no chip out (even when cross cutting that crap Home Depot trys to pass off as "hardwood plywood"). No vibration to speak of. Very pleased and I would buy this blade again if needed.
Customer Review: Cuts like butter
I've had a Freud ripping blade on my table saw for quite a while and have been impressed. So when I got tired of the raw cuts from my SCMS (that's Sliding Compound Mitre Saw) I bought the Freud LU91M010 60 tooth blade on and it cuts like butter. No tear out and glides across the board. I upgraded from some 40 tooth dewalt crosscut blade that was probably more suited for construction. (...)it is a pretty good deal compared to the forest. I didn't get the teflon version because every one complains that it doesn't do anything but put read paint on your wood.
