Freud's LM72M Industrial Rip blades are the industry standard for glue line ripping of hard and soft woods from 3/4 to 2-3/4 inches thick. Featuring extra rigid blade bodies and flat top micrograin carbide teeth, these blades give the straightest, smoothe
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. These top quality Chop Master saw blades produce tight, perfectly cut miter joints with no bottom splinters 6-1/2" - 15" Diameter Available. Specially designed for sliding compound miter saws and radial saws. Made with double-hard C-4 Submicron Carbide for up to 300% longer life. A heavier than normal steel plate maintains maximum stability for the best cut. A negative face hook also adds to optimum rigidity when cutting. Each blade is hand-straightened to a runout of .001/.002 for maximum cut quality. The tooth style selected (4 points and flat) maximizes steady, clean cuts with no bottom splintering. Grabbing and throwing of scrap cut-offs has been minimized by our design. You will be surprised by the extra-smooth, tight miter cuts you will get with this 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.

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.
