Description of Freud LU82M008 8-Inch 48 Tooth TCG Crosscutting and Ripping Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor

LU82M008 Heavy-Duty Multi-Purpose Saw Blade At a Glance: Ideal for hard- and softwood, and chipboard up to 2-3/4 inches 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 8" Teeth 48 TCG Arbor 5/8" Kerf (K) .126 Plate (P) .087

Freud-Made TiCo Carbide is durable and chemical-resistant for long life and razor-sharp cuts Laser-Cut Anti-Vibration Slots drastically reduce vibration and sideways movement in the wood extending blade life and giving a crisp, splinter-free flawless finish

Deep Gullets and Triple-Chip Tooth Grind for Speed and Versatility
Quick and accurate, this multi-purpose saw blade is built to help you handle both ripping and crosscutting. The blade is well-suited to cutting both hard- and softwood, as well as cutting through stacks of manmade material. It features teeth with a triple-chip grind (TCG). In this configuration, each flat-top tooth is followed by a trapezoidal tooth that's slightly higher. The trapezoidal tooth delivers a precut slot that's narrower than the final kerf, which helps prevent brittle materials--like chipboard--from chipping near the blade. Plus, the large gullets between these teeth ensure quicker cuts and easy chip removal.

The blade's ideal crosscutting range includes materials that are 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick, while the range when ripping includes materials that are 3/8 to 3/4-inch thick. It has a 5/8-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 heavy-duty saw blade's 48 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "general purpose blend." Formulated to maximize density, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance, this blend is ideally matched to the varied demands that are placed on a multi-purpose saw 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.
