Review on ๐Ÿ”ช High-Performance Freud 10" x 40T Blade for Precision Crosscuts & Rips on Various Wood Surfaces (P410) by Jeff Bridgewater

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't live up to the hype.

I've had issues with Freud Blades, Dado Stack and 2 Teardrop Blades lately and while this blade can be used it doesn't do the marketing justice. The crosscut blade is excellent, which is to be expected from a quality crosscut blade. The tears are almost ready to glue. They're actually good enough for glue joints, but I wish there was a little less shading. The fusion was within 0.0005 inch of the corner slot. The stopper is within .004" of the angled slot and is intentionally offset slightly from the exit side. The first 2 images are cut in melamine with a zero gap insert, the cuts will not chip. The last 2 photos are compared to a Delta 50T combo blade that I have owned for over a decade. Fusion is much better in cross section, but only marginally better in longitudinal section.

Pros
  • Blade ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Very Expensive
