Revised Content:

Introducing the Freud LU85R012 Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade: Your Key to Smooth, Vibration-Free Crosscuts

This impressive 12-inch saw blade is designed to deliver fast, accurate crosscuts and leave behind a glass-smooth finish, eliminating the need for sanding. Featuring 96 teeth with alternating bevels and TiCo high-density carbide tips, a unique side-grind setup that polishes the material as you cut, and Freud's insulating Perma-SHIELD coating, this blade is built to perform at the highest level for the long haul.

Ideal for Smooth Crosscuts in Materials 1/4 to 1-5/8 Inches Thick The LU85R012 blade is specifically engineered for optimal performance when crosscutting wood that is 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick, as well as when cutting chipboard and plywood up to 1 inch thick. It can also handle ripping wood and working with laminate, though some loss of surface finish may occur when used outside its ideal range. With a 1-inch arbor and a 0.116 kerf, this blade delivers precise, high-quality results.

Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design for a Flawless Finish Precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads, this blade features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter, leading to a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise. The high-strength, laser-cut steel construction ensures the blade stays stable, flat, and true, even with prolonged use, eliminating the need for add-on stabilizers.

High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance The LU85R012's 96 teeth are tipped with Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "crosscut blend," formulated to maintain a sharp cutting edge in demanding crosscut applications. This extra-hard carbide blend, with increased tungsten carbide content, offers improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance, allowing the blade to stay sharper for longer between sharpenings.

Perma-SHIELD Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup Freud's red Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating reduces friction and heat buildup, protecting your tools and work surface. This lubricating feature allows the blade to spin freely, reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. Additionally, the coating helps prevent debris collection and resin buildup, extending the blade's lifespan and reducing downtime for cleaning.

With a limited lifetime warranty, the Freud LU85R012 Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade is the top choice for achieving glass-smooth crosscuts in a wide range of materials. Backed by Freud's history of innovative manufacturing, this blade is a must-have for any serious woodworker.
