About Freud Industrial Blades
Freud’s industrial series blades were designed for the serious woodworker. Available in a variety of styles for different applications, LU blades feature thick carbide tips, precision-tensioned bodies found in every Freud quality blade. Some LU blades include a red Teflon coating that helps reduce friction, heat build-up, and gumming — which prolongs the life of the blade.
About this Combination Saw Blade
The ultimate combination blade is now available in a thin kerf design with Freud’s LU83R. The groups of five teeth include one flat tooth for ripping, followed by four alternate top bevel teeth for crosscutting and a large gullet for effective chip clearance. This blade also features Laser-cut anti-vibration slots, practically eliminating the vibration that resonates in standard blades. With this combination blade, there is no need for stabilizers.
Applications
This exceptional blade rips and crosscuts wood, chip board, plywood, and laminate — but it is not recommended for ferrous metals or masonry.
Warranty
This blade is covered by Freud’s limited lifetime warranty.

Cut a piece of wood with your old saw blade first. Then put your new freud on and take a look for yourself. So smooth you could get away without sanding! At least while it’s still nearly brand new, and after about a years use, it was still better than some brand new blades. No vibration. Even put up with me overworking the saw and blade and getting it really hot. I was worried I might have ruined it, but it still cuts nice! Money well spent and I’d buy some more any day! Now if only I had the money for a better table saw!
I purchased my first and last tablesaw (JET) and purchased the blade a bit later after researching the different types and manufactures. If you can purchase a tablesaw blade better than this it would suprize me. It truly gives you a glue ready joint. I have learned over the years that new items sometimes only work well for a short time and than they are not worth the money you paid. After a few weeks, but not much use, it still cut as clean as a jointer would do.
this is a really good blade, sure there are better ones, but for the money freud makes some really good products. i’ve been very happy with it’s smooth cut for making picture frames from oak, cherry, and maple.

I bought this blade as an all-purpose solution for my garage workshop. I’ve used it to rip MDF, pine, red oak and a six-panel door. I’ve also used it for pine and red oak crosscuts. It has performed extremely well, leaving very clean cuts. I would definitely buy this blade again (although I expect it will remain sharp for a long time).
Bought this for my new bench top JET table saw. I’ve got other Freud blades for my circular saw and love them. So of course I had to get this for the JET. The JET saw stays smooth and steady through all cuts. I do get the red marks on occasion, but only after slow feed rate, and if I forget and push from the scrap side. My fault, NOT the blade.
This brand I would highly recommend to anyone, and have done so.
