Style: Industrial Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscut Saw Blade 12 inch x 80t ATB 1 inch arbor Perma-Shield Coated


Pattern Name: Blade


Features

  • Specs: Arbor 1", Diameter 12", Grind ATB, Hook Angle 15, Kerf .094", Plate .071", Teeth 80
  • Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for Maximum Performance
  • Positive Hook Angles produce a smoother cut and allow for a faster feed rate
  • Thin Kerf reduces waste and feeds easier
  • Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating reduces blade drag, protects the blade from corrosion and pitch build-up.

Description

Freud’s Perma-SHIELD coated blade is engineered to maximize performance on underpowered saws, delivering smooth, precise crosscuts in hardwoods, softwoods, and moldings. The advanced coating reduces friction and heat build- up, allowing the blade to pull 1/3 less on the saw, resulting in up to 33% more cutting power. Its thin kerf design removes less material than standard carbide blades, requiring less horsepower and making feeding easier and more efficient. Crafted with a Premium TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend, this blade ensures long-lasting sharpness and superior cutting performance. A positive hook angle promotes cleaner cuts and faster feed rates, while the Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating minimizes drag, resists pitch build-up, and protects against corrosion, keeping the blade running cooler and cleaner for longer. Perfect for fine finish work and demanding crosscutting applications, this blade is a powerful upgrade for any saw.

    • What A Difference
Style: 9-Inch 54 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Crosscutti... Pattern Name: Blade
I got this Freud LU88R009 blade for my Craftsman 9 inch radial arm saw from 1972 after reading positive reviews here on Amazon. I got the saw for free about 8 years ago and never set it up until recently. It came with 3 blades. The first 2 blades smoked my garage out and the 3rd one (which was never used before me) cuts without burning but the cut is not very clean. So now I start looking for 9 inch blades. It wasn't as easy as I thought since no one really carries 9 inch blades anymore. Thankfully there are some companies that still make them and Amazon carries them. I chose this Freud blade for price and versatility. The blade crosscuts so much better than what I had and is incredibly quiet compared to the old Craftsman Chisel Tooth hss blade that was in there. It leaves a very clean cut with an almost shiny surface in the hard maple I've been working with. This blade, for me anyway, still leaves a tiny bit of tear out on the bottom of the cut and some circular marks on the cutting surface but it's so much better than what I had and the tear out is so minimal that it cleans right up with a couple strokes of 150 grit sandpaper. Of course, some of that could be my technique and learning curve with this machine. If you get this blade for a RAS be prepared for it to pull aggressively through the cut. It may catch you by surprise. I also made some small rip cuts with this blade the results were just as good, if not better, than the crosscuts. This is not to say that it should be used this way as I don't think that was the manufacturers intention but it does do a great job. I will eventually get the LU87R009 for ripping so I can have the best of both. These will definitely be my go to blade for important cuts while I can still use that old Craftsman blade for junk cuts so I can enjoy the pleasure of the Freud blade for a long time. ... show more

    • Top Quality blade!
Style: Industrial Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscu... Pattern Name: Blade
Excellent blade! Kerf thickness is just right to get a glass smooth crosscut in hardwoods and not put excessive load on the saw motor. I purchased this as a back up blade for when my Forrest chopmaster is out being sharpened. I have to say this blade is EVERY bit as good as the Foreset and about $60.00 less. I have made it through two cabinet jobs so far, 23 cabinets made of hard maple on one job and 34 cabinets made of red oak on the other and this blade is still cutting like new. Whether you are a professional like me or a weekend warrior looking for a cut above, I would highly recommend this blade! ... show more

Ok this muther of a bad boy has been sitting in my Citadel for a few weeks now...just waiting for that Festool HK85 that’s sposed to get here from good ol Italy any day now( he...just got it now that this blade is also from Italy...well waddya know???? 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣) ...so I’m simply D.I.Y.ing (🤣🤣🤣🤣) to try it out on that big ol Demon Of A Saw ... now there might be some issues cause a Freud/Diablo blade ain’t sposed to go on this specific 9” Festool Saw( which for some strange reason ain’t available on the US market) , the HK85’s riving knife is more or less specifically tailored for Festool Blades, or vice versa , but you get the picture. Which means a 2.5mm max kerf width I think, and a 1.8mm blade width... or is it 2.5mm and 3.2... for that ol river to work at gettin those kickbacks down to a minimum and all...but according to the specs in On the package i think they’ll be ok... And the bore will need enlarging as well... Cmon now when’s that Saw gettin here?!? I can’t wait so long !!!get me that Saw already!!! Sorry... 🤦🏽♀️🤣😜 Anyway yeah once I try em out ,and surely witness first hand they Kick Lumber butt like yesterday’s news only because A Festool Saw with A Freud Blade is like pairing Wonder Woman with Wolverine ,I’ll update this review to a proper “ how does this item work in your opinion” one. Till then... Will you please get that Saw home Man?!?!? 😎😎😎 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🐚✨❄️🌕🌹❤️😘 Edit: Ok got the Saw...Yes! (A while ago actually, sorry didn’t update sooner, having too much fun with it...🥳🤩👹😈🤣🤣🤣🤣😎) Did the mod on the bore...Yesireee. Used a Diablo Carbide Hole Saw, 1-1/8” on a DeWalt DCD996 , stuck that Frued Blade using 2 Festool Quick Clamps on my pseudo-MFT ....took a while, used lube sparingly , but in the end that hole saw pushed through! Did some fine deburring , and tried it on...perfect fit!!! So.... after that oh So long rant on everything above below and all around this blade , but nothing on IT!!!! How did it cut GDI ?!?!?!?!!! Well ....it cuts good man....it cuts reaaaaalll goooood...😎🔪🥩☣️ 😳 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Actually it went smooth as silk on the lumber I tried it on, fairly smooth feel on the Face that was cut, no problems with the Saw, the riving knife , the kerf or plate width.... Awesome Blade !!! For a Super Out of this World Saw!!! 🙏🏼😎❤️🌕🌹 ... show more

This blade is high quality, worth the money! The surface finish on the cuts are incredible, I have cut oak, plywood, and laminate so far and experienced little to no tear out and a smooth sanded like finish. Definitely recommend!
