Review on Freud Finish Crosscut Blade LU88R010 by Aaron Romero

Revainrating 1 out of 5

12 " Freud saw blade #LU88R012 doesn't work with DeWalt DW715 saw

This is the first time I've been bad at a Freud saw blade because I love them in general but this LU88R012 blade doesn't t Working on mine DeWalt DW715 miter saw.I removed this blade after making a few cuts because the blade cuts very aggressively through the wood and the cut is rougher than rough.The saw blade is called a "Fine Finish Crosscut Blade" but it does full opposite of this DeWalt DW715 saw. The cut is so horribly bad I can hear it cutting like it's cutting wood. Absolutely horrible. I'm very disappointed and really want to return this blade because it's expensive. I have a big one Lots of nice birch body panels, baseboards and tongue and groove and I absolutely cannot use this saw blade, I have an original DeWalt blade with 3 Put 2 teeth on this saw and it works decently. Shooting and reading I see in the DeWalt manual that it DOES NOT USE a blade with a hook angle greater than 7° and this Freud LU88R012 blade has a 15° hook angle which should be a problem as the DeWalt blade has a Hook has angle of 7°. Freud doesn't offer blades with this angle, but he does offer blades with 0° and -5° whether or not they will work with this saw. I do not know. I'm confused.
