Freud LU83R012: 12" x 60T Thin Kerf Combination Blade

Description

12″ Thin Kerf Combination Blade The 12-inch
Freud LU83R012 Thin Kerf Combination Saw Blade offers a configuration that
pairs flat teeth and alternating-top-bevel teeth to ensure strong performance
both when ripping and when crosscutting. Also offering TiCo high-density
carbide tips, laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that eliminate the need for
stabilizers, and Freud’s insulating, Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating, this
multi-purpose blade is built for lasting convenience.Combination Tooth Design
for Versatility and Accuracy This thin-kerf blade’s 60 teeth are arranged in
groups of five, each of which includes one flat-top raker tooth for fast,
accurate ripping. Each flat tooth is followed by four alternating-top-bevel
(ATB) teeth that are particularly well suited to crosscutting, and large
gullets between the teeth ensure effective chip clearance.This blade is
designed for optimal performance when crosscutting materials that are 3/4 to
3-1/2 inches thick, or ripping materials that are 3/8 to 1-1/2 inches thick.
It makes quick work of hard- and softwood, plywood, and chipboard. It can also
handle laminates or 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 0.091 kerf.And because thin-kerf blades remove
less material than standard carbide blades, they allow for faster feed times,
and they require less horsepower to produce smooth, accurate results when
cutting.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. Furthermore, this well-
balanced, anti-vibration design means there’s no need to use add-on
stabilizers with this blade.High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting
Performance This thin-kerf saw blade’s 60 teeth are finished with tips made
from Freud’s application-specific TiCo high-density carbide “combination
blend.” Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge for longer
when faced with a variety of applications, this blend includes just a little
bit more high-density tungsten carbide than other TiCo blends. And it still
offers the full mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and
impact resistance that you expect from TiCo.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.Perma-SHIELD
Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup Built to withstand tough use in
less-than-ideal conditions, this blade is finished with Freud’s red Perma-
SHIELD–a non-stick coating that reduces friction and nearly eliminates the
heat buildup that excess friction can cause. By providing complete thermal
insulation, this coating protects your tools and your work surface. And it
resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications,
which reduces blade warp.As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the
blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your
saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or
“pitch” buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of
your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into
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.About Freud: A History of Innovative
