Description of Freud LU72M012 12-Inch 48 Tooth ATB Crosscutting Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor

LU72M012 General-Purpose Crosscutting Saw Blade At a Glance: Ideal for crosscutting of materials 3/4to 3-1/2 inches thick, and ripping materials 1/4 to 1 inch thick Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Silver I.C.E. coating reduces friction and prevents gumming Technical Specs: Coating Silver ICE Diameter 12" Teeth 48 ATB Arbor 1" Kerf (K) .126 Plate (P) .087

Positive Hook Angle for fast cutting and easy feeding in production applications Heavy-Duty Thick Kerf and Plate ensure a stable, flat blade for long cutting life

Alternate-Top-Bevel Tooth Design for Speed and Versatility
This blade's alternate-top-bevel (ATB) configuration features teeth that face both left and right, and it delivers a positive hook angle--a setup that makes feeding smooth and easy. Ideal for crosscutting thick, hard and soft woods as well as general-purpose cutting, this blade brings both versatility and durability to the job site.

It's designed for optimal performance when crosscutting materials that are 3/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick, or ripping materials that are 1/4 to 1 inch thick. The blade can handle working with chipboard, plywood, or laminate, 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 Design
This 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.

High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance
This general-purpose saw blade's 48 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "general purpose blend." This blend offers a mix of improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that's ideally matched to the varied demands placed on a general-purpose blade.

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.

Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion, Heat, and Resin Buildup
This blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your work surface and preventing the blade from warping. It also helps prevent resin or "pitch" buildup.

Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup means 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.
