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.

Own both the Woodworker II and this blade, both great blades. Freud finish is smoother, and the blade is so well balanced there is nor run out and no wobble! my only qualm is shipping if this blade by Amazon needs to be better, the sleeve is thin, and this has to be wrapped properly to avoid chipping the carbide teeth when handled by Oops brown delivery.

This review is from: Freud P410 Premier Fusion 10-Inch 40 Tooth Hi-ATB General Purpose Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor and PermaShield Coating (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the Premier Fusion out of exasperation with my Woodworker II. This has turned out to be a far better blade for my Delta saw. Mine is the top contractor's model just below the Unisaw. The Forrest blade vibrated and burned from new, but not the Freud. I can rip or crosscut jatoba, koa, maple, whatever and it doesn't burn. It WILL burn if I stop moving for more than a split second but not nearly as badly as the Woodworker II. There is nearly no vibration which is a real problem with the Forrest. Plus, the Freud is far quieter in operation.
It cuts satin smooth, possibly owing to its being only 4 months old and still "scary sharp". I can even rip poplar and go straight to gluing with no fuzz. This was a really good purchase for my shop and I recommend it.

This review is from: Freud P410 Premier Fusion 10-Inch 40 Tooth Hi-ATB General Purpose Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor and PermaShield Coating (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a nice blade. It cuts very clean. I like it better than the 30T and 40T WW2 in plywood and melamine. I haven't done extensive ripping in thick dense stock however. But in the 3/4 material I have tried there was no burning in the curly cherry I was using. And the rips were glue ready. Saw marks were minimal as well. The feed rate felt good. However as far as feed rate It wasn't a 24T or 20T rip blade. When I cut some Home Depot Melamine with the right feed rate I got 0 tear out. I looked, and didn't find any. It was like using an 80T Hi-ATB blade (which I did for comparison). But I guess zero is zero. So as far as 1 blade for most tasks I would highly recommend it. I don't know if I would justify the price if I were going to be doing a ton of ripping in thick stock, and or a ton of plywood or cross cutting. I'd probably be better off getting a blade dedicated for each purpose for the longevity. But as a hobbyist using a single blade for a whole project with great results, definitely. Just check around for sales as with anything else.
