Freud LU86R008: 8 x 34T General Purpose Blade

Meet the 8-inch LU86R008 Thin Kerf General-Purpose Saw Blade, a versatile tool perfect for both ripping and crosscutting. This blade boasts a heavy-duty body, 34 teeth with TiCo high-density carbide tips, and is coated with Freud's Perma-SHIELD. Its thin-kerf design minimizes material waste and ensures clean cuts even with underpowered saws.

Ideal for crosscutting materials 3/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick or ripping materials 1/4 to 1-inch thick, this blade can handle chipboard, plywood, laminate, and various thicknesses. While it may experience some loss of surface finish outside its optimal range, its 5/8-inch arbor and 0.087 kerf deliver consistent performance.

Precision-balanced and featuring anti-vibration slots, this blade guarantees precise, chatter-free cuts with reduced noise levels. Its high-strength steel construction maintains stability and flatness, even after extended use. With 34 teeth enhanced by TiCo high-density carbide, this blade offers superior edge retention, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.

The Perma-SHIELD coating provides thermal insulation, reducing friction and heat buildup. This non-stick coating ensures smooth operation, protects against blade warp, and minimizes debris accumulation. By reducing stress on your saw's motor, this coating increases tool and blade longevity, ultimately saving you time and money.
