Freud Thin Kerf Ultimate Plywood & Melamine - LU79R

Hi sIKE;

The link didn’t work, but Freud does make good blades. I still stick to Forrest even though they’re a little pricey.

By now it just maybe a habit!

Everything I have read on Freud suggests that they make a quality blade but I agree with Lee. I use all of the different Forrest blades on my saws and simply have not found a reason to switch to another manufacturer. But at one-half the cost of the Forrest blade this on may be worth looking into.

Thanks! I have ordered one, had a 15% off coupon to Rockler that was going to expire n the 31st so I went ahead and ordered one of these.

sIKE, you should post a review on the Freud blade. I would be interested to see what kind of quality the blades are.

I usually use an industrial, very thick, blade for the miter saw. A thin kerf blade will work for thin material, but will deflect a bit when trimming thicker stock. You might consider getting a thicker blade also for those thicker, heavier boards.

Thanks John that is what I was interested in hearing, Freud has the LU80R which is basically a standard kerf version of the same blade.
