Description

The Freud 15" Ultimate High Production Cut-Off Saw Blade is designed for professional woodworkers and industrial use, offering superior performance and long-lasting sharpness in high-speed cutting applications. Featuring Freud’s TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, this blade is designed to maximize cutting life and ensure exceptional material finishes. The 25-degree Hi-ATB tooth geometry with axial shear face side grind delivers smooth, chip-free cuts, even in tough materials. The Silver I.C.E. Coating reduces heat and corrosion, enhancing cutting efficiency. Laser-cut anti-vibration slots virtually eliminate vibrations, providing improved stability and extended blade life, while the Tri-Metal Brazing technology increases tooth flexibility and impact resistance. Freud’s Hi-Tolerance Precision Plate Grinding & Tensioning ensures the blade stays flat and true, delivering ultimate accuracy. Perfect for use with table saws and radial arm saws, this blade is ideal for high-production cutting tasks. The 15-inch Freud LU85R015 Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade delivers fast, accurate crosscuts and leaves glass- smooth finishes that eliminate the need for sanding. Featuring 108 teeth with alternating bevels and TiCo high-density carbide tips, a unique side-grind setup that polishes material as you cut through it, and Freud's insulating, Perma-SHIELD coating, this blade is built to deliver top results over the long haul.ATB Teeth with Side-Grinding for Glass-Smooth Finishes This cut-off blade's 108-tooth alternating-top-bevel (ATB) configuration features teeth that face both left and right--a versatile setup that's ideal for crosscuts in hard- and softwood, as well as general use. And thanks to the unique side- grind on each tooth, the blade smoothes work surfaces as it cuts through them. This leaves you with a super-smooth, high-quality finish that doesn't need to be sanded down.This blade is designed for optimal performance when crosscutting wood that is 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick or when cutting chipboard and plywood that is less than 1-inch thick. The blade can also handle ripping wood and working with laminate, 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 1-inch arbor and produces a 0.136 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 cut-off saw blade's 108 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application- specific TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend." Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge in the face of demanding crosscut applications, this blend is extra hard--due to including more high-density tungsten carbide than other TiCo blends--and it still offers the full 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.
