Freud Lu84R011: 10" Combination Blade Product Description 10" x 50T Combination Blade Amazon.com The 10-inch Freud LU84R011 Combination Saw Blade with Perma-SHIELD offers a configuration that pairs flat teeth and alternating-top-bevel teeth to ensure strong performance both when ripping and when crosscutting. Also offering TiCo high-density carbide tips, laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that eliminate the need for stabilizers, and Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating to prevent the buildup of friction and heat, this multi-purpose blade is built for lasting convenience. Combination Tooth Design for Versatility and Accuracy This blade is designed for optimal performance when crosscutting materials that are 3/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick or ripping materials that are 3/8 to 1-1/2 inches thick. It makes quick work of hard- and softwood, plywood, and chipboard. It can also handle laminates or tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a .126 kerf. Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance 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 Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into 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.
