Pattern Name: Solid


Style: 12-Inch 72 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Sliding Miter Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor and PermaShield Coating


Features

  • Negative Hook Angle - The 5 negative hook angle helps prevent the blade from being too aggressive and pushes the work piece down and towards the fence.
  • Premium TiCo Carbide Blend - Features a high-density TiCo crosscutting blend that maximizes cutting performance, edge retention, and durability, designed to power through tough woods with consistent, clean results.
  • Thin Kerf Design - Thin kerf blades remove less material than standard carbide blades, thus requiring less horsepower to produce equally good results.
  • Optimized for Sliding Miter Saws - Thin kerf industrial design delivers superior finish cuts when used with sliding compound miter saws, ensuring smooth, clean edges with minimal tear-out.
  • Perma-Shield Coating - Non-stick Perma-Shield coating reduces friction and heat buildup, prevents pitch and resin accumulation, and protects against corrosion, ensuring longer life and smoother operation without stabilizers.

Description

Freud's thin kerf industrial blade is specifically designed to deliver superior finish cuts when used with sliding compound miter saws. Its optimized geometry includes a 5° negative hook angle, which reduces the aggressiveness of the cut while helping to guide the workpiece downward and firmly against the fence, resulting in cleaner, safer, and more controlled cutting. The thin kerf construction removes less material than standard carbide blades, requiring less horsepower and enabling faster feed rates without compromising cut quality. Crafted with Premium TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend, this blade offers exceptional durability, edge retention, and cutting performance across a wide variety of hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered materials. The precision-ground teeth and thin kerf design make it ideal for fine crosscuts and finish work, even on lower-powered saws. A Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating further enhances performance by minimizing blade drag, resisting pitch and resin build-up, and protecting the blade from corrosion, ensuring longer life and consistently flawless results.

    • Best Blade for a Miter Saw
This makes the cleanest cuts on with a miter saw. It's because of the -5 deg. hook

Love this saw blade! Makes cuts so easily and effortlessly. Would recommend.

    • Great blade, but some artifacts should be noted
I purchased this Freud Industrial class blade from Amazon for use in my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw some time back, and it has worked in a championship way. It cuts clean, although it is no speed demon, and one thing it can do well is cut shallow dado grooves with no tear out. I did this when cutting 45-degree angle embellishments on two picture frames I recently built. Standard crosscuts are very clean as well. I recently purchased a Freud Diablo class D1280X (Diablo is Freud's mid-level line), also from Amazon, and found that in some ways it equaled and even surpassed the LU91. (I reviewed the D1280X blade on Amazon, too.) For one thing, in spite of having more teeth (80 vs 72), it cuts faster. This is because instead of a negative hook angle it has a slightly positive one. The positive hook allows the blade to lift sawdust into the dust port at the back of the saw. (Sliding miter saws are not particularly good at scavenging dust, so I modified the saw by installing a removable dust scoop under the port to facilitate the scavenging process.) The negative hook of the LU91 is its one weak point, although it was designed that way to perform a safty action. Negative hook angles are utilized in order to keep the back of the blade from lifing the workpiece and thereby endangering the operator. However, if the saw is aligned properly and the workpiece is held decently tight (or, better yet, clamped), lift is just not a big deal. I have never had a workpiece lift in a miter saw, with any blade. The negative hook of the LU91, its safty factor notwithstanding, tends to fling sawdust straight back, UNDER the dust port, thereby building up a lot of dust on the saw. Even the best dust port would be unable to deal with this artifact. So, while the blade cuts well, and probably slightly surpasses the D1280X (which costs only a bit more than half as much), the user does need to understand that the back of the saw (and maybe the shop area behind the saw if used indoors) may become a bit dusty. Every blade offers advantages and disadvantages, and the choices involve tradeoffs. In any case, I recommend this blade, but only for precision work that requires a bit more finesse than what the cheaper Freud Diablo D1280X can deliver.

    • THIS IS NOW THE ONLY BLADE I WILL BUY
Review Image by Scott H Scott H
I am a commercial trim Carpenter and use a 12” sliding compound miter saw daily. I’ve been using Freud’s Diablo line for years because out of everything else I’ve used, they are easily better then any readily available blade from either of the two main big box chains. I have always achieved “good enough” results with Freud’s Fine or Ultra Fine Finish blades but I’ve been wanting to try a sliding specific blade. Apparently the -5* hook angle is what makes the difference. I had to start this year with a whole new setup (saw, rolling stand and blade) and figured I’d give it a shot. The new blade has been mounted to a Dewalt DWS780 and here’s what I’ve found. - I LOVE THIS BLADE - ZERO tear out which I have never achieved with any other blade on a slider - ZERO vibration leaving a clean kerf - ZERO pressure or force needed to move through the wood. - ZERO blade deflection when cutting bevels even in harder woods. So far, I don’t have a single complaint about this blade and I don’t believe I will! I had a coworker try it. He runs a DWS779 with a Diablo blade and was just as blown away with it as I am. ... show more

    • Negative tooth angle. Awesome for sliding miter saw!
Better cuts with a brand new Makita 12", sliding miter saw (110 Volt model LS1219L, not battery powered). The factory blade was OK with Pine, but I'm cutting 5" wide, solid Hickory 3/4" flooring, 1" thick by 12" wide stair treads and 3/4" by 7.5" stair risers. I tried a positive-7 degree Diablo 80-tooth blade, for about 20 cuts. Not satisfied with neither the factory nor Diablo blades, I read about the advantages of a negative-angle blade. World of difference. This blade is worth every penny spent. If you're chasing one of the best available, skip the Diablo blades and go straight for the Freud Industrial. I know Freud makes Diablo, but there is definitely a difference, beyond the positive-versus-negative tooth angle. I ordered a 10" Freud Industrial blade for my table saw, immediately after using this outstanding miter saw blade. Love it! I've made a couple hundred cuts, and the 12" Freud blade is still cutting like a warm knife through butter. I've used DeWalt, old Black and Decker, and other blades I can't remember. Never again. I guess I'm a Freud Fan-Boy, now (no pun intended). ... show more

    • Not 12”
I’d love to use this blade but I can’t on my Bosch Miter saw. It’s not 12”. It’s about 11 3/4” and gives incomplete cuts. Have to return

    • Marked improvement
There's something to be said about upgrading the quality of your tools. Transitioning from the well-worn blade that came on my miter saw, to this Freud was a night-and-day difference. My cuts are substantially cleaner with a reduction in tear out, and the thin kerf has helped to keep my saw from bogging down on thicker hardwoods. I knew upgrading blades would make a difference, but I should've done it much sooner. ... show more

    • It's....OK
This saw blade is just OK, and for $90, just OK isn't good enough. When I first started to use this blade it cut pretty good, but after just a few months of use it's producing an awful lot of tear out. I was thinking about taking it to get sharpened to see if that helped, but is it worth it if it starts tearing out again in just a couple months? I use 10" Forrest blades on my table saw and have never had this issue. I'm thinking about just sucking it up and getting a 12" Forrest blade to replace the Freud. ... show more
