Description

10" x 80T Double Sided Laminate/Melamine Blade The 10-inch Freud LU97R010 Double Sided Laminate and Melamine Cutting Saw Blade is designed to make quick, smooth, chip-free cuts when working with laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood. It features Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, and a triple-chip tooth grind, the long-term dependability of TiCo high-density carbide, and a series of laser-cut, anti-vibration slots.Triple- Chip Grind for Chip-Free Top and Bottom Surfaces Built to leave a high- quality, chip-free finish on both the top and the bottom of double-sided laminates and sheets of melamine, this blade features 80 teeth with a triple- chip grind. The blade's teeth also feature positive hook angles for longer tooth life in production applications. And this blade is so effective that there's no need to use a scoring blade with it.This blade is designed for optimal performance when cutting laminate or melamine that ranges from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches in thickness. It's also a solid performer when crosscutting wood or working with plywood and chipboard that's less than 1-inch thick. If This blade can even rip wood, and it can tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.126 kerf.Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design This Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high- strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade.High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance This laminate saw blade's 80 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "laminate blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of work with laminates, melamine, and solid surfaces, this blend is extra hard--due to the proportion of high-density tungsten carbide that goes into it--and it still offers the mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that you expect from TiCo.With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--saving you time and money.Perma-SHIELD Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup Built to withstand tough use in less-than-ideal conditions, this blade is finished with Freud's red Perma- SHIELD--a non-stick coating that reduces friction and nearly eliminates the heat buildup that excess friction can cause. By providing complete thermal insulation, this coating protects your tools and your work surface. And it resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications, which reduces blade warp.As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster.This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.About Freud: A History of Innovative Manufacturing An industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud America, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of superior carbide cutting tools for the woodworking industry.

Each TCG tooth is designed with a negative hook angle for easy feeding and fast cutting. The Sub MicroGrain Titanium Carbide Blend tips are an exclusive formula manufactured by Freud specifically for this industrial blade for Ultra Long Life when cutting abrasives like double-sided manmade materials. Freud’s LU97R010 saw blades produce glass-smooth cuts in both the top and bottom of double-sided laminates, veneers and melamines, like countertops Features:Laser-Cut vs. standard stamped blade bodies to ensure the superiority of each blade. Laser- cut heat expansion slots, which allow the blade to expand during use thus keeping the cut true and straight. Laser-cut arbor to guarantee accurate blade rotation, reducing vibration and premature wear. Pre-tensioning secures that the blade will remain flat for years of smooth operation. Teflon coating option on the LU97R helps reduce friction, heat build-up and gumming, which ad up to longer blade life. Covered by Freud's Limited Lifetime Warranty See more
