This review is from: Freud LM74M010 10-Inch 30 Tooth TCG Glue Line Ripping Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor and Silver ICE Coating (Tools & Home Improvement)

I build custom furniture and am always looking for a smoother cutting blade. I have all the older freud blades as well as several forest blades and a couple of Olden.This new blade rips smoother than any of them. The Forest woodworker II has been the best until this one. On my saw at least, this blade is noticeably smoother than the Forest. And a whole lot cheaper! I don't think the red (teflon coated) would be worth 50% more. The build up I get is right on and behind the carbide teeth and not on the blade. I know the coating is supposed to make the blade run cooler, but that is a tough one to track. This is a nice blade.

This blade rips out a surface so smooth you can almost use it as a mirror. The manufacturer only claims it is fair for crosscutting, but it gave a beautiful, smooth crosscut when I tested it that way. It's also pretty fast, so I decided to leave it on the table saw and use it for cross- and miter cuts as well as ripping.

This is the best rip blade for 4/4 or less stock I have ever used. Though not as fast as the LM72, it isn't supposed to be, and it is much faster and more efficient than using a combo blade. The edges never need a run through the joiner--in fact, I like the edge better. Quiet and smooth. I will change to it for just a single rip. I do, however, like the red one better.
