Amazon.com Product Description

Solid surfaces like Dupont's Corian place special demands on your saws, and the 10-inch Freud LU95R010 Solid Surface Cutting Saw Blade is an industrial-quality blade that's designed to make smooth, swirl-free cuts in the face of those demands. It features an application-specific, triple-chip tooth grind, the long-term dependability of TiCo high-density carbide, and the anti-friction performance of Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating. And since it produces less heat than standard blades, you don't have to worry about surface burns.

Depth of Cut

Special Side-Grind Tooth Design enables blade to remain cool while cutting, eliminating melting Laser-Cut Anti-Vibration Slots drastically reduce vibration and sideways movement in the cut extending blade life, and giving a crisp, swirl-free flawless finish

Modified Triple-Chip Grind for Clean, Swirl-Free Finishes
Built to leave a crisp, high-quality finish when cutting solid surfaces like DuPont Corian, Wilsonart Gibralter, and SSV Fountainhead, this blade features 72 teeth with a special, modified, triple-chip grind. This configuration leaves swirl-free, burn-free cuts in a broad range of solid-surface materials.

This blade is designed for optimal performance when cutting solid surfaces, vinyl, and Plexiglass that ranges from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick. It also performs well in chipboard, plywood, and laminates. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.126 kerf.

Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design
This Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade.

High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance
This solid-surface blade's 72 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "plastic blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of work with plastics and solid surfaces, this blend is extra hard--due to the proportion of high-density tungsten carbide that goes into it--and it still offers the mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that you expect from TiCo.

With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--saving you time and money.

Perma-SHIELD Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup
Built to withstand tough use in less-than-ideal conditions, this blade is finished with Freud's red Perma-SHIELD--a non-stick coating that reduces friction and nearly eliminates the heat buildup that excess friction can cause. By providing complete thermal insulation, this coating protects your tools and your work surface. And it resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications, which reduces blade warp.

As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster.

This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

This review is from: Freud LU95R010 10-Inch 72 Tooth TCG Solid Surface Cutting Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor and PermaShield Coating (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this blade to cut pieces of Corian for a small countertop, and it worked beautifully! Each cut was as smooth as glass. Whether using the fence or the miter attachment on my Jet 3 HP saw, the blade cut very smoothly- unlike in wood, where the grain makes you have to vary the pressure as the cut proceeds. This is not true in solid surface material, because the acrylic is very isotropic and homogeneous. I highly recommend getting this blade if you have to cut solid surface material.
