Review on 🔪 Enhanced Freud 12" x 72T Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade (LU91R012) - Elevating Performance and Precision by Joey Richardson

I have been using Freud saw blades and router bits for many years and have been very happy with the quality, but this home use only blade is not cutting cleanly on my Hitachi sliding surface. seen. I don't know if it's a negative -5 degree angle, but it cuts through the wood leaving burns and a large burr at the exit of the wood. The blade seems sharp and I don't see any damage so I'm going to take it to a sawmill doctor here in New Zealand and see if sharpening solves the problem. The supply of Freud blades in New Zealand is limited. I could buy other high quality blades from Makita or Dewalt in New Zealand for less but I like the Freud blade which is very expensive when found. I do furniture making as a hobby so none of my tools have had a tough life and should last for years before needing a sharpening. Also, the smaller blade, only 9-3/4 inches, had to change the saw blade fence to allow the blade to go deeper after the cut was complete to cut through the underside of the log. My Hitachi would be happier with a 10-1/4". So I can't recommend it for saws that need a 260mm blade like my Hitachi C10FSH slip joint miter saw.
