Founded in Italy in the early 1960s, Freud Tools has established itself as a manufacturer of superior carbide cutting tools and a world leader in cutting tool technology. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own “Micrograin” carbide for each tool application to maximize the cutting life and performance. With several unique design features, sizes and coatings, Freud saw blades are among the longest lasting and best performing blades in the industry. In its brand new 20 000 m2 (215 000 ft2) factory, Freud produces 1 blade every 5 seconds which means 16 000 blades every day.
- The Freud LU85R blade is mainly used for crosscutting soft or hard woods with a maximum of 1-5/8" thick.
- Combining a 10° hook with 20° alternate top bevel teeth, this blade gives a glass-smooth finish.
- It can be used mostly on miter saw but also on radial arm saw or table saw.
- Laser cut and electronically balanced and tensioned blade body for superior flatness.
- Equipped with expansion slots for reduced heat and anti-vibration design for less noise.
- The blade body protected by « Perma-Shield » allows better resistance binding in large volume cutting which reduces blade warp, corrosion and pitch built-up.
- Teeth are made in TiCo™ (titanium/cobalt) high density carbide tip for extended blade life.
