Freud LU97R010: 10 Laminate/Melamine Blade

The 10" Freud LU97R010 Double Sided Laminate and Melamine Cutting Saw Blade is designed to provide quick, smooth, and chip-free cuts when working with laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood. It features Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, a triple-chip tooth grind, long-lasting TiCo high-density carbide, and laser-cut anti-vibration slots. This blade is specifically designed to perform optimally when cutting laminate or melamine between 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick, as well as when crosscutting wood or working with plywood and chipboard less than 1-inch thick.

This well-balanced blade is precision balanced and features anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise during operation. The blade is constructed from high-strength steel, ensuring stability and flatness even after extended use. The high-density carbide tips on the 80 teeth of this blade are specially formulated to extend tooth life and offer improved edge retention.

The Perma-SHIELD coating reduces friction and heat buildup, enhancing the blade's durability. It also provides thermal insulation, protects against binding, and prevents debris collection and resin buildup, ultimately improving tool and blade lifespan. This industrial blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
