Freud LU79R010: Ultimate Plywood & Melamine Blade

The Freud LU79R010 Thin Kerf Ultimate Plywood and Melamine Saw Blade is a heavy-duty, 10-inch blade designed to deliver a precise, chip-free finish when cutting through a variety of materials, from veneered plywood to melamine countertops and hardwood molding. This blade features 80 teeth with TiCo high-density carbide tips and Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, which helps reduce heat buildup and friction, ensuring the blade stays true and delivers accurate cuts over the long haul.

Ideal for cutting melamine, laminates, plywood, and hardwood, this thin-kerf blade can handle materials ranging from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick. Its heavy-duty plate is laser-cut with anti-vibration slots, which reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while working. The blade's 80-tooth, high-alternating-top-bevel (Hi-ATB) configuration ensures clean crosscuts and splinter-free finishes, even when working with hard-to-handle materials like laminates.

Freud's Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating reduces friction and heat buildup, protecting the tool and work surface from damage. The coating also resists binding and prevents debris collection and resin buildup, extending the blade's lifespan and reducing downtime for cleaning.

Featuring Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend," the blade's teeth are designed to maintain a sharp cutting edge in demanding crosscut applications. This blend is extra hard, thanks to a higher content of high-density tungsten carbide, while still offering improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance.

Precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads, the Freud LU79R010 blade also benefits from laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter and ensure a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise. With its 5/8-inch arbor and 0.098-inch kerf, this industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind for woodworking professionals and DIYers alike.
