Features

Application-specific super micrograin carbide teeth are 50-60% larger than standard carbide teeth and allow for multiple re-sharpenings.
Anti-vibration technology eliminates sideways movement against the material for a quieter, smoother cut with a superior finish and long cutting life.
Laser-cut heat expansion slots allow the blade to expand during use to keep the cut true and straight.
Permanent red Teflon coating prevents rust and guarantees less working friction and resin adhesion.
Precision-tensioned blade bodies made of high strength steel (40–45 Rc) stay flat and true throughout years of service.
Tri- metal brazing technique produces strong, impact resistant bond between carbide teeth and steel blade body.

Customer Rating:

This is the second LU87R blade I have owned. I chipped some teeth on my first one ripping some used lumber and it was cheaper to buy a new blade than replace the teeth. I keep it for use on used lumber. This blade greatly increases the power on a contractors saw and cuts very smoothly. Smoother than I would expect from a 24 tooth blade.

This is the first Freud blade I've purchased, but it won't be the last. I bought it with intent of thinning (ripping) some oak and poplar for milling into shutter louvers. Although I have run a lot, yet, it has worked great. I will be on the outlook for a Freud finish blade soon for crosscut work.

I use hardwoods (mostly Oak, Walnut, or Birch). This blade is great. I can rip large pieces of theses woods without worrying about leaving burn marks.

This is a great blade for ripping on my table saw. I have two of these blades, so one is always available. Priced right. I highly recommend.

I bought this blade over the weekend at the local Rockler store. I had read online that this blade was the best one to use for ripping use on radial arm saws. I have a Craftsman 10" saw that is somewhat underpowered and the thin kerf blade really makes the saw sail through lumber. I am very pleased with the performance of this blade. It makes very smooth cuts that are almost good enough to glue up without using a joiner.
