----
The 10-inch Freud LU97R010 Double Sided Laminate and Melamine
Cutting Saw Blade is designed to make quick, smooth, chip-free
cuts when working with laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood.
It features Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, and a triple-chip tooth
grind, the long-term dependability of TiCo high-density carbide,
and a series of laser-cut, anti-vibration slots.
Triple-Chip Grind for Chip-Free Top and Bottom Surfaces
Built to leave a high-quality, chip-free finish on both the top
and the bottom of double-sided laminates and sheets of melamine,
this blade features 80 teeth with a triple-chip grind. The
blade's teeth also feature positive hook angles for longer tooth
life in production applications. And this blade is so effective
that there's no need to use a scoring blade with it.This blade is
designed for optimal performance when cutting laminate or
melamine that ranges from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches in thickness. It's
also a solid performer when crosscutting wood or working with
plywood and chipboard that's less than 1-inch thick. If This
blade can even rip wood, 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 0.126 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. 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 laminate saw blade's 80 teeth are finished with tips made
from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide
"laminate blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of
work with laminates, melamine, and solid surfaces, this blend is
extra hard--due to the proportion of high-density tungsten
carbide that goes into it--and it still offers the 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.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The 10" LU97R010 Perma-SHIELD coated blade has 80 carbide teeth
in a triple chip grind (TCG) tooth design. Each TCG tooth is
designed with a negative hook angle for easy feeding and fast
cutting. The Sub MicroGrain Titanium Carbide Blend tips are an
exclusive formula manufactured by Freud specifically for this
industrial blade for Ultra Long Life when cutting abrasives like
double-sided manmade materials.
Freuds LU97R010 saw blades produce glass-smooth cuts in both
the top and bottom of double-sided laminates, veneers and
melamines, like countertops
Features:
* Laser-Cut vs. standard stamped blade bodies to ensure the
superiority of each blade.
* Laser-cut heat expansion slots, which allow the blade to expand
during use thus keeping the cut true and straight.
* Laser-cut arbor to guarantee accurate blade rotation, reducing
vibration and premature wear.
* Pre-tensioning secures that the blade will remain flat for
years of smooth operation.
* Teflon coating option on the LU97R helps reduce friction, heat
build-up and gumming, which ad up to longer blade life.
* Covered by Freud's Limited Lifetime Warranty
