Freud 10-inch x 80T Thin Kerf High Performance Cut-Off Blade (LU74R010) Review

Used on a low powered Powermatic P1000 so I have a pair of Freud fine kerf blades. Your cutting blade makes a world of difference, and this high-serrated blade delivers an ultra-clean cut in cross-sections.

A saw attached to my Makita will cut moldings and other hardwoods for routing and carpentry perfectly and evenly, resulting in some of the tightest joints that you will be very happy with. Due to the many small teeth, it does not break out at all. The hunting weapon can be discarded. The saw also cuts through 2x4 Douglas fir like butter. I…

I've been a fan of Freud's Diablo line of consumer blades for a number of years. The fancy red blade is fully functional as a sliding coating and has saved me from countless sticking and burning situations. I decided to give Freud's industrial line a shot. First, Freud's anti-vibration cutouts and slots are second to none. I replaced the Dewalt finishing blade (the one that came in a two pack with the edge blade) with this one on my Makita LS1216L. This blade rang like a bell after each cut, to
