Freud LU88R010: 10 Fine Finish Crosscut Blade

The Freud LU88R010 Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscut Saw Blade is a versatile and high-performance tool that delivers quick, smooth crosscuts in hard- and softwoods, as well as moldings, even when using an underpowered saw. Designed with a 10-inch diameter and a 5/8-inch arbor, this blade features a thin kerf configuration with 60 alternating-top-bevel (ATB) teeth and positive hook angles, providing smoother cuts and allowing for faster feed rates.

The blade's key features include:

Premium TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend: The 60 teeth are finished with Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend," which is formulated to maintain a sharp cutting edge in demanding crosscut applications. This blend is extra hard due to its higher content of high-density tungsten carbide, offering improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance.

Positive Hook Angles: The blade's positive hook angles produce smoother cuts and allow for a faster feed rate, enabling efficient and precise crosscutting.

Thin Kerf Design: The thin kerf reduces waste and feeds easier, requiring less horsepower to produce equally good results compared to standard carbide blades.

Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating: Freud's red Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and heat buildup, preventing binding and debris collection, and extending the blade's lifespan.

Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design: The precision-balanced and pretensioned blade features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while in use.

Ideal for crosscutting hard- or softwoods that are 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick, the Freud LU88R010 Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscut Saw Blade also provides good results when cutting plywood, chipboard, and laminate, and can handle thinner or thicker materials, though some loss of surface finish may occur outside its ideal range.

With its high-performance features and durable construction, the Freud LU88R010 Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscut Saw Blade is a valuable addition to any woodworker's toolkit, delivering smooth, clean cuts and extending the life of your saw.
