Review on Freud Crosscuts Hardwoods Melamine P410T by Kurt Bravo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It seems like a great value. Excellent finish when cutting layers

Bought as a general purpose blade so I don't use my more expensive blades in plywood cabinets where the finish isn't as important. Judging from a few cuts I made in some of the sheet materials, this is the finished glue. Not the best footage to make a statement, but I didn't see any blade marks at all. Minimal or no veneer tear with zero gap. I have to try to cross the grain to really say it. Not sure you can go wrong for $60. I can't say anything about the life of the carbide yet, but it's enough for sharpening. Update: I've been working side by side with a more expensive 40 ton 8/4 walnut blade. The cut had noticeably more blur compared to the more expensive blade. I still think it's great value and it works great. This is not a $120-$150 blade.

Pros
  • High-density TiCo carbide provides a sharper edge and a flawless finish, greatly increasing tool life.
Cons
  • Expensive
