- Freud® LU88R Industrial Thin Kerf Fine Finish Crosscut Saw Blades
Overview
This Perma-SHIELD® coated blade gives new life to underpowered saws and produces smooth crosscuts in hardwoods, softwoods and moldings. Coated blades pull 1/3 less on the saw, which translates into 33% more cutting power. Thin kerf blades remove less material than standard carbide blades, thus requiring less horsepower to produce equally good results.
Features:
- The Perma-SHIELD® coating covers the blade plate and cutting edge in a protective layer, reducing heat build-up
- Perma-SHIELD® blades resist binding in large volume cutting, reducing subsequent blade warp. The coating lubricates the blade, allowing it to spin freely, and eliminates pitch and debris build-up on the blade
- Thin kerf reduces waste and feeds easier
- Positive hook angles produce a smoother cut and allow for a faster feed rate
- Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating is a state-of-the-art coating formulation that is superior to any today, and will withstand the toughest woodworking applications. Like Silver I.C.E.™, Perma-SHIELD® eliminates pitch and debris build-up reducing down time for cleaning
- Features Ti-Co™ Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for maximum performance

I'm looking for a fine cut blade, hopefully thin kerf that has flat top teeth, not ABT. Any suggestions?

Makes quite a difference in a clean cut-especially on my small contractor table saw-worth the $$

I have a 2.7hp table saw...
I have a 2.7hp table saw that had a significant amount of blade wobble. This blade cured it.
