About Freud 12" X 96T Double Sided Laminate/Melamine
Product Description Designed to give long life and excellent finish on the top and bottom of laminates, melamine & veneered plywood. The laser-cut anti-vibration design yields the plate acoustically dead. This reduces the sideways movement of the cutting edge to prevent chipping in manmade materials such as laminates. This dramatically extends cutting life and finish. No scoring blades needed with this blade! 12" Blade Diameter, 1" Arbor, 96 TCG Teeth, TCG Grind, .126" Kerf (K), -3° Hook Angle, .087" Plate (P) Ideal For: Excellent finish on the top and bottom of laminates, melamine & veneered plywood. Depth of cut (1/4" min to 1-5/8" max). Application: Laminates and melamines. Made In Italy. Amazon.com The 12-inch Freud LU97R012 Double Sided Laminate and Melamine Cutting Saw Blade is designed to make quick, smooth, chip-free cuts when working with laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood. It features Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, and a triple-chip tooth grind, the long-term dependability of TiCo high-density carbide, and a series of laser-cut, anti-vibration slots. LU97R012 Double Sided Laminate and Melamine Cutting Saw Blade with Perma-SHIELD At a Glance: Ideal for double-sided laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Tough Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and heat buildup Technical Specs: Coating Perma-SHIELD Diameter 12" Teeth 96 TCG Arbor 1" Kerf (K) .126 Plate (P) .087 Depth of Cut Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Design with a negative hook angle for superior life in abrasive man-made materials Laser-Cut Anti-Vibration Slots drastically reduce vibration and sideways movement in the wood extending blade life and giving a crisp, splinter-free flawless finish Triple-Chip Grind for Chip-Free Top and Bottom Surfaces Built to leave a high-quality, chip-free finish on both the top and the bottom of double-sided laminates and sheets of melamine, this blade features 96 teeth with a triple-chip grind. The blade's teeth also feature positive hook angles for longer tooth life in production applications. And this blade is so effective that there's no need to use a scoring blade with it. This blade is designed for optimal performance when cutting laminate or melamine that ranges from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches in thickness. It's also a solid performer when crosscutting wood or working with plywood and chipboard that's less than 1-inch thick. This blade can even rip wood, 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 0.126 kerf. Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration DesignThis 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. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade. High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting PerformanceThis laminate saw blade's 96 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "laminate blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of work with laminates, melamine, and solid surfaces, this blend is extra hard--due to the proportion of high-density tungsten carbide that goes into it--and it still offers the 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. Perma-SHIELD Coating Redu
