Freud LU79R006M20: 160mm Thin Kerf Ultimate Plywood & Melamine Blade

جيد وخصوصا الحرفي الذي يعمل بالرقائق

I originally bought this Freud blade just to see how it compared to the Festool blade. Out of ignorance, I foolishly used my TS 55 and the stock blade to cut a few pieces of laminate flooring. After that, my Festool blade cut terribly and would smoke and bog down in 3/4" plywood. I did some research and found that the laminate flooring will ruin carbide saw blades--there are several stories on the Festool Owners Group site where others discuss doing the same thing with both their TS and Kapex saws. In my case it was a TS 55 and a DeWalt miter saw. At the time, I didn't know I had ruined my Festool blade--just that it could barely cut through plywood. So last weekend, I removed my dull Festool blade and put in this Freud blade. It cut through the plywood like butter. Zero smoke. Very little effort required to push the saw--I just helped it along and it floated along the track. The Freud blade was fantastic. However, with those positive comments, I had to immediately return the first Freud blade I received. After receiving it, I just happened to look at the teeth. Something about one of the teeth looked odd, like it was cut at a different angle. After looking closer, I saw that the carbide was chipped. 1/4 of the tooth was missing. I looked at the rest of the blade, and found another tooth that was chipped, missing 1/2 of the tooth. The blade obviously didn't get proper QA. I have many other Freud blades and bits that I love, and have never seen anything like this. I returned the blade the same day back to Amazon, and they shipped me a replacement right away. The new blade is perfect and works great. If you order any of the Freud Festool blades, make sure to carefully inspect all of the teeth. But I highly recommend this blade for the TS 55--don't listen to the Festool accolytes that say you should only use Festool blades. For the price, the Freud blade works well for me.

The Freud Saw Blade is an exceptional blade that delivers outstanding performance and precision in cutting plywood and melamine materials. One of the standout features of this saw blade is its Perma-Shield coating, which provides a protective barrier against heat, corrosion, and pitch build-up. This coating not only extends the lifespan of the blade but also ensures smooth and clean cuts throughout its usage. The thin kerf design of the blade allows for minimal material waste and reduced cutting resistance, resulting in faster and more efficient cuts. This feature is particularly beneficial when working with delicate materials like plywood and melamine, as it helps prevent chipping and splintering. Furthermore, the Freud LU79R006M20 is equipped with high-quality carbide teeth that are specifically designed for cutting plywood and melamine. These teeth are incredibly sharp and durable, ensuring precise and clean cuts every time. Overall, the Freud LU79R006M20 Perma-Shield Coated Thin Kerf Plywood and Melamine Saw Blade is a top-notch tool that combines durability, precision, and efficiency. Whether you're working on a professional project or a personal woodworking task, this saw blade is sure to exceed your expectations.

Cuts plywood well.

Very quiet blade, and makes extremely smooth cuts. I normally work with hard woods like cherry and oak, it does an excellent cut. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now, and the blade is holding its edge well. I also used it to put in my bamboo flouting, about 750 sq ft. Those who know about bamboo it is harder than Hickory and Freud's blade ate it up. I will continue to use Freud's saw blades in the future.

Fitted in Makita SP6000J, tested on plywood, very nice finish. Compensate depth of cut by adding 7-8 mm to gauge. For preliminary cut, set depth to 8 mm. Cuts better than original blade at slower speed. Recommended.
