Amazon.com The 18-inch Freud LU73M018 Cabinetmaker's Crosscutting Saw Blade is designed to meet the high-volume, high-performance needs of industrial cabinetmakers. Featuring a tough steel body with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots plus 108 teeth in an alternating-top-bevel configuration that's ideal for crosscutting, this blade delivers both precision and durability. It also offers the strength and sharpness of TiCo high-density carbide tips and Freud's antifriction, antibuildup Silver I.C.E. coating. A Heavy-Duty, Crosscutting Blade for Industrial Cabinetmakers This blade's alternating-top-bevel (ATB) configuration features teeth that face both left and right, and it delivers a 10-degree hook angle--a setup that's ideal for the high-volume crosscutting work that takes place in the professional cabinetmaker's shop. It's designed for optimal performance when crosscutting hard or soft woods, or plywood and for use with materials that range from 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick--the materials a cabinetmaker uses most often. The blade can handle ripping wood or working with chipboard and laminate, and it can tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 1-inch arbor and produces a 0.157 kerf. Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design This Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance This crosscutting saw blade's 108 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend." Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge in the face of demanding crosscut applications, this blend is extra hard--due to more high-density tungsten carbide than other TiCo blends--and it still offers the full mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that you expect from TiCo. With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--saving you time and money. Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion, Heat, and Resin Buildup This blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your work surface and preventing the blade from warping. It also helps prevent resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup means longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster. This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
