Freud 12 Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade

The 12" x 72T Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade by Freud LU91R012 is designed for use with sliding compound miter saws and radial arm saws. With 72 teeth featuring alternating top bevels and TiCo high-density carbide tips, this blade offers easy feeding, reduced waste, and the ability to achieve fine finishes even with underpowered saws. The blade also boasts negative hook angles for maximum control and Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating for insulation.

This thin kerf blade is ideal for crosscutting materials ranging from 1/2 to 2-3/4 inches thick. It features a heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots and a tough Perma-SHIELD coating that reduces friction and heat buildup. The blade's 5-degree negative hook angles ensure fine finishes with sliding miter saws by minimizing climbing for better control.

Precision balanced and pretensioned, this blade offers truer cuts under heavy loads. The anti-vibration design with laser-cut slots reduces chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise during operation. The blade is manufactured from high-strength steel for stability, flatness, and trueness even after prolonged use.

The 72 teeth of this blade are made from Freud's TiCo high-density carbide crosscut blend, ensuring maximum cutting performance. The carbide tips maintain a sharp cutting edge in demanding crosscut applications, offering improved edge retention and longer blade life.

Additionally, the Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating on the blade reduces friction and heat buildup, protecting the blade from corrosion and pitch buildup. This coating allows the blade to spin freely with reduced stress on the saw's motor and carriage. It also prevents debris collection and resin buildup, resulting in longer tool and blade life.

Backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty, the LU91R012 Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade is a reliable and high-performance choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
