The Freud Difference
Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts like hot knife through butter, June 16, 2000
By Mark Goodall (GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this blade for use on my compound miter saw. It cuts very well leaving a very smooth finish in all the woods I've tried: oak, maple, cherry, walnut. I espeCially like the teflon coating, all my other saw blades have developped rust over the years no matter how hard I try to keep them clean. This blade should keep cutting well and looking clean for a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great blade, not a replacement for proper technique, July 21, 2003
By Jason Ledyard "jdl75" (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Among the finest blades I've seen yet. I'm remodeling an old house, and need to cut new base boards (oak). It isn't kidding when it says "Glass Smooth". This blade in my DeWalt 706 is an ideal setup.

Beware, even a blade of this quality is not a replacement for proper support of the wood. If you are doing fine work with good wood, invest the time to create a sacrifical backstop and throat plate for your mitre saw. The stock plates on my DeWalt are great for general work, but if you want 5-star results, put in the effort to set up your saw correctly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Blade to Have!, June 27, 2000
By Dan McClure (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
I've been using the factory blade on my Delta 12 inch chop saw, what a mistake. The Freud LU85R012 cuts perfectly. I should have bought the Freud when I bought the saw. Don't wait, buy it.
