A Heavy-Duty, Crosscutting Blade for Industrial Cabinetmakers
This blade's alternating-top-bevel (ATB) configuration features
teeth that face both left and right, and it delivers a 10-degree
hook angle--a setup that's ideal for the high-volume crosscutting
work that takes place in the professional cabinetmaker's
shop.It's designed for optimal performance when crosscutting hard
and soft wood, or plywood, and for use with materials that range
from 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick--the materials a cabinetmaker uses
most often. The blade can handle ripping wood or working with
chipboard and 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 0.138 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 crosscutting saw blade's 84 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.
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.
