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
Freud’s 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.

This exceptional 10-inch, 80-tooth blade is truly worth the extra expense. The LU85R010 from Freud displays impressive engineering and features that makes it today's popular choice for woodworkers. 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 anti-kickback design ensures safer operation. This blade cuts great, runs quietly and always performs chatter-free. It's Teflon-coated to reduce friction and heat buildup -- and it’s protected against rust, corrosion, and resin buildup, too. You might even want to use this blade to coax a better performance out of older or underpowered saws.

Applications

Warranty
Freud blades are covered by a limited lifetime guarantee.

I thought it was a crock when I heard this blade cut wood as smooth as glass...but! I was wrong dead wrong...it is like someone buffed the piece of wood I just cut, it was so smooth it was shinning. A definite must in your shop.

Unbelievable smooth cuts. If you see any tooth marks on the cut, your saw must be out of adjustment! I keep the trailing edge of the blade about 0.002" tapered away from the cut piece and get perfect cuts everytime on my Jet 3Hp saw.

This blade lives up to it's billing. It does cut as smooth as glass. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Pair this blade with the Freud blade stabilizer and you have a cutting combo for your table saw that is hard to beat. (I would recommend cleaning the blade every now and then. Pitch build up does reduce the smoothness of the cut.) Chalk up another one for Freud!
