Customer Review: Frued lu74r010 saw blade
Xcellent blade, like it advertised, cut smooth and leave a shiny polished like. I would recommend this blade to any beginner woodworker like me....
Customer Review: Great blade
Freud makes great thin kerf blades and this one does not disappoint. The blade is super sharp and leaves edges in plywood smooth. Excellent quality for the price, and while still basically a disposable blade you won't be replacing it often. As with any thin-kerf blade, it is slightly more prone to bending if you are careless with it.

Forrest NM1612011180 No Melt 16-Inch 120 Tooth 1-Inch Arbor .180-Inch Kerf Plastic Cutting Circular Saw Blade

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. And this same exacting service is available for other manufacturer's blades as well, so they should come back better than new. Forrest Woodworker 2 Saw Blade For Table Saws. With this one all purpose blade you can RIP & CROSSCUT 1" to 2" hardwood and softwood resulting in a smooth as sanded surface. Ply-veneers of oak and birch will crosscut with NO BOTTOM SPLINTER at moderate feed rates. Customized Forrest Woodworker 2 For Table Saws. For the advanced table saw operator. Ideal for joinery and special uses. Specially engineered clearances on the carbide teeth can totally eliminate side scoring. The result...no planing/jointing or sanding. In many cases a glue-line cut can be obtained, depending on the accuracy of the saw machine.

I am a custom home builder and we do extensive wood trim in our homes. I bought this blade on the reviews and Forrest reputation, and have not been sorry. The blade performs flawlessly and will out-cut any of my Freud, De-Walt and other trim blades. Buy it - you won't be sorry.

Freud LU91M010 10-Inch 60 Tooth ATB Crosscutting Miter Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor


The Freud Difference
Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. By overseeing the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, Freud guarantees some of the highest quality, most advanced products in the industry.


About Freud Industrial Blades
Freuds industrial series blades were designed for the serious woodworker. Available in a variety of styles for different applications, LU blades feature thick carbide tips, precision-tensioned bodies found in every Freud quality blade. Some LU blades include a red Teflon coating that helps reduce friction, heat build-up, and gumming -- which prolongs the life of the blade.

About this Miter Saw Blade
The Freud 10-Inch 60-Tooth sliding compound miter saw blade provides a superior finish cut with both slide and non-sliding compound miter saws. A 5-degree negative hook prevents the blade from being too aggressive and helps push the work piece down and towards the fence; and the Silver I.C.E. coating helps make the blade resistant to friction and heat buildup. This blade is compatible with the Hitachi C8FB, Makita LS1011, and radial-arm saws for reduced climbing while crosscutting softwood, hardwood, or moldings.

Applications
This is a fine finish blade for sliding miter and radial arm saws. Use it to crosscut softwood, hardwood, or moldings.

Key Tech Specs:

  • 5/8-inch arbor
  • Tri-Metal Brazing
  • 1/2-inch minimum depth of cut
  • 2-3/4-inch maximum depth of cut

Warranty
This blade is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
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.
