Features 5
- 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.

Great Improvement
Pattern Name: Solid
Style: 12-Inch 72 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Sliding M...
I have been a Contractor for over 30 years. Recently most of my work has been home repairs and remodeling. I do a lot of the work myself including the trim work. The saws I use are Dewalt 12" mitres. So until now I have also used their blades. They did a good job for the most part. It came time to replace my current blade so I came to Amazon to check their pricing. That is when I came across the Freud thin kerf blade. It had great reviews and was about the same price as the Dewalt. So I gave it a try. Real glad I did. It outperforms the Dewalt hands down. Due to the reduced weight you get less handle bounce when you first start the saw. It cuts through Oak and other hardwoods like butter. There is very little to no tear out. That is about all you can ask from a saw. I am now a Freud fan. Just put one on my 10" table saw. Will not buy anything else!

Negative tooth angle. Awesome for sliding miter saw!
Pattern Name: Solid
Style: 12-Inch 72 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Sliding M...
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).

THIS IS NOW THE ONLY BLADE I WILL BUY
Pattern Name: Solid
Style: 12-Inch 72 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Sliding M...
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.

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.

Good quality cutting saw blade.

This blade makes a cut like glass. Very smooth was very very little and Tiny chip out. I have this blade in 10 inch size that I use on my other chop saw. Have used it for years and very satisfied with it and this new one. What makes such a good cut is the negative kerf. A little pricey but worth the money for the quality of cut.
