Introducing the 10-inch Freud LU85R010 Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade: The Perfect Tool for Smooth, Vibration-Free Crosscuts

This high-performance saw blade delivers exceptional results, offering fast, accurate crosscuts and leaving behind a glass-smooth finish that eliminates the need for sanding. Featuring an 80-tooth design with alternating bevels and Freud's advanced TiCo high-density carbide tips, this blade is built to provide top-notch performance over the long haul.

Designed for Optimal Crosscutting: The LU85R010 blade is engineered for optimal performance when crosscutting wood that is 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick, as well as when cutting chipboard and plywood up to 1 inch thick. It can also handle ripping wood and working with laminate, though some loss of surface finish may occur when used outside its ideal range. With a 5/8-inch arbor and a 0.116 kerf, this blade delivers clean, accurate cuts.

Vibration-Reducing Design for Flawless Finishes: Precision balanced and pre-tensioned for true cuts under heavy loads, this blade features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that dramatically reduce chatter and sideways movement during the cut. This not only ensures a crisp, flawless finish but also extends the blade's lifespan and reduces noise while you work, eliminating the need for add-on stabilizers.

Exceptional Cutting Performance: The blade's 80 teeth are tipped with Freud's specialized TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend," which is formulated to maintain a sharp cutting edge in demanding crosscut applications. This extra-hard carbide blend offers improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance, allowing the blade to stay sharper for longer and reducing the need for frequent sharpening.

Friction-Reducing Perma-SHIELD Coating: Freud's signature Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating covers the entire blade, reducing friction and nearly eliminating heat buildup. This thermal insulation protects your tools and work surface, while also preventing binding and debris collection during large-volume cutting. The lubricating effect of the coating also reduces stress on your saw's motor and carriage, contributing to longer tool and blade life.

Backed by Freud's Commitment to Innovation: As an industry leader for over 50 years, Freud is known for its innovative manufacturing and application-specific tool design. By producing their own high-density TiCo carbide, Freud can optimize each tool for its intended purpose, ensuring maximum cutting life and performance. The LU85R010 Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade is a testament to Freud's dedication to providing woodworkers with the best possible tools for the job.
