AMAZING
I had a $50 dollar DeWalt blade and thought that ought to be good enough, it does pretty well.I was wrong, this Frued 30 tooth and 80 tooth full kerf blade is amazing.Not only is it quiet but it slices through anything I can throw at it like a laser and is so smooth, I really don't need to sand it.Worth every penny, I am sold.I am using a 3HP Grizzly Tablesaw and this combination is capable of just about anything....

THE blade for trim.
"Produce Glass-smooth cuts". They are NOT kidding about this one... I use this blade solely for trim. Faces of the cut are like they're sanded with 220, the angles are razor sharp, and there is zero tearout. The sawdust that comes out of the back of the saw is like a fine talcum powder. Very impressive blade! Worth every penny if you're going to be doing fine trim work.

Ordered two blades for my husband!
My husband does woodworking as a hobby. All I have to say is my husband loves these blades. His exact words were,"Cuts like a hot knife through butter!" If you have any doubts about this blade, DON'T! It is worth every penny. ... Read more

Clean Cutting and Reasonably Priced for a 12" Blade
Using this blade with a Delta TwinLaser miter saw, I have consistently obtained clean, splinter-free cuts.Look at the blade, however.The shot on this site depicts a 72T blade, and the rack at the home improvement store where I purchased mine also had 72T and 80T "Fine Cut Off" blades mixed together.I have the 80T blade.

Sure, it doesn't have a PTFE coating, but wiping down a blade from time to time with a bit of solvent to clean off pitch is no big task.And Freud's carbide tips are beefy and sharp.I don't anticipate any problems, having had good luck in the past with their Diablo 7.25" circular saw blades. ...

Excellent combo blade!
I've been using the chrome version of this blade on my old (ancient) Jet contractor's saw for about 3 years and couldn't be happier.It leaves a super-smooth, glue-ready surface when ripping soft- or hardwood stock, and equally fine surfaces on crosscuts.My saw is tuned properly, I use a link belt to reduce vibration, and for ripping always use a featherboard just in front of the blade to maintain proper position of the stock.

I showed this blade off at a recent woodworker's gathering of about 30 people, and they were definitely impressed.Can't imagine that it'd be possible to get a much better surface than the LU84 provides.On my humble 1.5HP saw, though, I don't use it for ripping really thick stock.Firmly believe a good 24-tooth ripping blade is the way to go there.

LU84R011 blade
I purchased this blade a few weeks ago and put it on my new Hitachi C10FL table saw. I've always had good experience with Freud products and this blade isn't much of an exception. It is a hefty piece of steel and overall well made. The carbide teeth are THICK which will allow many resharpenings. It is a GOOD blade, but NOT "excellent". For general purpose use that will give acceptable results it certainly lives up to its manufacturer ratings for various types of cuts in different material. A few important points to note, however. There is splintering on the end of a cross cut, I suspect this is mostly due to the flat top grind raker tooth as my "low budget" Lowes bought Freud combo blade with all ATB teeth leaves a cleaner cross cut. The Teflon coating seems to be more of a hindrance than a blessing. It is not perfectly flat in all places, and seems to clog the anti vibration slots in the blade body. Also, the coating has worn off where the arbor washers contact it - I carefully sanded the coating away in this area. The blade does not vibrate at all, and I feel stiffeners aren't necessary though they can't hurt I'm sure. Although I am not sorry I bought this blade, I will be purchasing either a Forrest blade or two separate blades - rip and crosscut in order to get the perfect result for each type of cut. My recommendation would be to go with the LU84M011 blade instead - doesn't have the unhelpful Teflon coating and is ten dollars cheaper.

Really impressed
Just received this blade and mounted it in my Ryobi BT3100.
Using it to cut 3/4 solid oak, 3/4 oak veneer plywood, pine, both cross cut and ripping, it's hard to imagine anything better. Quiet, splinter free. Now I want a couple more for my chop saw and a spare. Everything I've purchased from Freud has been a worthwhile investment. And NO this has not been a paid commercial :-). ... Read more

good blade
I bought this blade at a tool show in my area, a step up to the Quaility of Forrest, as explained to me by the freud rep. He also explained the carbide manufacturing process, he said freud makes its own while all other tool makers by it off the open market, better control = better product, I am a trim carp/cabinet installer who cuts alot of crown & other assorted mouldings and so far this blade is doing a superior job, hardwoods, softwoods & mdf type mouldings all cut with no visable tear out, the laser cuts in the blade body arement to reduce vibration this not only makes the blade quiet but helps it stay sharp longer. ...

Make an old saw into a new one.
I bought this blade for my 25 year old Dewalt miter saw. I had been seriously considering replacing the saw because it was bogging down quite a bit and didnt seem to produce the nice cuts that it use to. I decided to give this blade a try after having great success with a Freud combo blade on my table saw. I'm glad I did. The thin kerf and anti kickback design has transformed my old saw into a new one. It once again produces the nice miters and smooth cuts that it had for years. What a differance a great blade makes. I really love this old saw because it's all steel, the bed is solid and the adjustment is still precise after all these years. Now with this new blade its rejuvenated. The teflon coated blades are touted as being better than the steel, but for the differance in price I don't think an occasional wood worker can beat this blade. I now own four Freud saw blades including the 6" dadoe set and only have the highest praise for all of them. I'm not wasting my money on any other brand, from now on its Freud all the way. I do wish they made bandsaw blades. Amazon, couldnt find anyone who could beat your price or delivery time. Thanks

The only thing cheap is the price
This saw blade is top notch.It does superb cross cut work and is very smooth and powerful.When you remove the blade from the package you know without a doubt that it is top quality.Not only would I recommend this blade for finishing work but for this price you can afford to use it for general use.Top notch keep up the good work Freud.Amazon I looked but found no one who could beat your price. ...

Perfectly does what it advertises
Seldom do I get something that does exactly what the advertising claims.For example, the Forrest Chopmaster was not the be-all and end-all of miter saw blades - certainly did not outperform the Dewalt 80T blade (at half the price) it replaced.But I digress....

This blade makes perfectly chip-free cuts through melamine particle board and birch or maple veneer plywood - exactly as advertised.It doesn't rip through them like the blade I use with hardwoods, but then that blade makes a total mess of melamine in particular.If you are working with laminates or veneer plywood, this will give you a perfectly finished edge on your cut.Who could ask for more?Me - I want a dado stack with these on the outside....

Awesome Blade!
I purchased this blade to cut 3/4" laminated MDF to make shelves.I wanted to use this material so that I didn't have to paint them.I was worried about chipping, so I bought this blade.Both sides of the laminate remained chip free on both rip and crosscuts.The cut lines were extremely smooth.The blade is whisper quiet too.I'm sold!I'm tossing my 40T blade that came with my saw and I'm purchasing the Freud 50T combo blade.

EXCELLENT MELAMINE BLADE
I HAD TO STOP AND WRITE A QUICK REVIEW OF THIS FREUD BLADE. IT REALLY IS A GREAT BLADE WHEN USED ON THE CORRECT MATERIAL. IT WORKS GREAT ON MELAMINE, LAMINATES.PATICLE BOARD AND BOTH HARD AND SOFT WOOD PLYWOODS. I LIKE IT ON DOUBLE SIDED LAMINATES SINCE I DONT GET THE CHIPPING. I NOTICED THAT ANOTHER WOOD WORKER TRIED USING IT ON HARDWOOD FLOORING, ITS NOT MADE FOR THAT AS THEY FOUND OUT IT DULLED RAPIDLY.ALSO THIS BLADE SHOULD NOT BE USED IN A RADIAL SAW OR SLIDING COMPOUND SAW. ANYWAY IF YOU NEED A GOOD BLADE TO CUT THE MATERIAL THAT I NAMED ABOVE AND YOU DONT WANT TO BREAK THE BANK THIS BLADE WILL SERVE YOU WELL. AS FOR SHARPENING ALWAYS FIND A SHARPENING SHOP THAT USES COMPUTER CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT AND WET GRINDS THE BLADES. AND AS ALWAYS IF ANYONE WANTS TO E-MAIL ME WITH A QUESTION OR COMMENT YOUR ALWAYS WELCOME. THANKS AND HAPPY WOODWORKING ... Read more

Excellent Non-Ferrous Metal Cutting Blade
The Freud LU89M series is a great blade. Period. If you've ever cut aluminum with your table or miter saw using a blade designed for wood you know how scary it is. The teeth are not designed for metal and it's very touchy. At any moment the metal can bind, overhead, kick back or throw a tooth. Wood blades are too aggressive for aluminum.

I needed to cut some thick aluminum stock (1/4" and 1-1/2") so I picked up a 10" LU89. Cuts like a dream. Very smooth, very safe. I did install a zero-clearance throat plate on the table saw and clamped the metal to the sliding miter so it wouldn't move, but what excellent cuts! Be sure to wear good eye and ear protection: chips fly. Lubricate the blade with WD-40 or other liquid metal lube (they say the blade won't clear chips if you use a wax lube) and it will just sing. It's like working with a mill.

I look forward to having this quality on my compound miter saw to cut aluminum extrusion for closet door hardware, shower doors and door thresholds. ... Read more

Very Good Quality Blade
This blade was installed on a glue line rip saw.Did a run of Mahogany that was burning with the other blades that we had.I then installed the Freud blade and got very good results.The teeth and carbide are large,so you can figure on several resharpenings.Best of all was the price.I will probably order 2 more soon. ...

Quite smooth and vibration free..............
This is the closest thing to an all around blade for the table saw.It is the "ONE" to use.Value wise nothing comes close.Rip 3/4 inch plywood - no problem. Cross cut 1" hardwood - no problem.

Put this on the saw and start cutting - it will be a pleasant surprise how quiet it runs.

Good blade
Cuts real clean with little effort. Good price, too.

Great blade for my Radial Arm Saw...
Got this blade to replace my current 24 teeth blade on my Craftman RAS.With the 1st few test cuts on oak, it resulted a very smooth cut on the surface and the edge of the cut is razor sharp.There was virtually no broken wood piece at the edge at all.I also test cut it on a piece of plywood (1" thick) and got the same result.This is a great performance for the price. ...

Don't buy it
I purchased this blade in June of 2001. I gave it two stars simply because it is chromed. I installed this blade in my DeWalt sliding chop saw and was not impressed from the begining. I have since kept it in a saw box with other old blades and don't like using it. It burns,tears out wood labors through compound cuts and generally is not a good performer. I have had it sharpened a couple of times by a great sharpening shop and they can't get it to perform any better. Its back into it's storage box it goes.
Do not buy one of these.

Excellent blade for trim & finish carpentry
This blade makes cuts as smooth as glass, in casings and moldings.Blades like this are what allow the pros to make perfect cuts.

It Looks Nice
It looks nice cuts ugly.The 1st thing I noticed with the blade installed on my DeWalt DW708 was, the saw seemed to push hard.2nd it left burn marks and 3rd. the cut wasn't smooth (little ridges).Tried every thing I could think to do, nothing seemed to change the final result, a lousey cut from a lousey blade.Put the blade that came with the saw back in, just to see if it was the saw's fault, everything was fine.The Freud goes back. ...
