About this product

Product Description 10" x 60T Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade Amazon.com Ideal for use with sliding compound miter saws and radial arm saws, the 10-inch Freud LU91R010 Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade offers easy feeding, reduced waste, and the ability to achieve fine finishes with underpowered saws. It features 60 teeth with alternating top bevels and TiCo high-density carbide tips, negative hook angles for maximum control, and Freud's insulating, Perma-SHIELD coating. LU91R010 Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade At a Glance: Ideal for crosscutting materials 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick Ideal for crosscutting materials 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Tough Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and heat buildup Tough Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and heat buildup Technical Specs: CoatingPerma-SHIELDDiameter10"Teeth60 ATBArbor5/8"Kerf (K).090Plate (P).071 Depth of Cut Negative Hook Angle minimizes climbing for better control Thin Kerf requires less power and allows for faster feed rate Negative Hook Angle for Fine Finishes with Sliding Miter Saws This thin-kerf blade's 60-tooth alternating-top-bevel (ATB) configuration features teeth that face both left and right. The blade's teeth also feature five-degree, negative hook angles, which helps prevent the blade from being too aggressive. This configuration also works to push your work piece down and towards the fence of your saw for smooth, accurate feeding. And because thin-kerf blades remove less material than standard carbide blades, they require less horsepower to produce smooth, accurate results when cutting. This blade is designed for optimal performance when crosscutting wood that is 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick, and it also performs well in laminate. This blade can also rip wood or be used with chipboard and plywood, 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 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.090 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. 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 "crosscut blend." Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge in the face of demanding crosscut applications, this blend is extra hard--due to including 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.
