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

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

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

A Blade for A Low Horse Saw
I've been using CMT blades for three years, and the one I use most is 40 tooth general blade with 1/8 kerf.It's done great jobs for me so far.But when it comes to cutting heavy stock such as 8/4 red oak or hard maple, my saw 'll definitely come to a halt. And by the way my saw is obviously a portable low horse.So I thought it's time for me to getupgraded.After reviewing bunch of saws and blades, I came across Freud's ads The Utimate Thin Kerf Rip Blade.I was just thinking perhaps I should give it a try.And the result was I didn't have to replace the saw.this blade can really go against anything I feed through.It produces nice and clean cuts as well as vibration reduction. Besides, jointing is unnecessary after the cut. The only reason why I should give this blade four stars is that mine came with a few factory defected carbide teeth.However, I 'd recommend this blade to anyone who own an under powered saw.

This Blade Rips!
I have a Jet contractor-style saw, and the standard Freud rip blade just wasn't getting the job done for me.I didn't realize my expensive saw was considered "underpowered."With a standard rip blade, I kept burning hardwood and throwing breakers.

However, this blade made all the difference.I can rip 2" hardwood stock without bogging down or throwing breakers.Plus, the rip cut is very smooth.Highly recommended.

Extremely smooth rip
This blade was recommended to me and I've had excellent rips with it.It goes through 2" oak without problems.I won't use my combo-blade for ripping because its worth it to swap out for this one.Highly recommended. ... Read more
