Freud LM72R012 12" Heavy-Duty Rip Blade, Multi, One Size

SAW BLADE CUTS TRUE , FAST AND ACCURATE. IT CAN BE RESHARPENED AROUT 6-12 TIMES. AND IT IS JUST WHAT TO EXPECT FROM FREUD.

Made cutting large sheets of plywood very easy. Great product! Beats the box store brands. Got it in a day.

Nice blade with some solid weight. I especially like the beautiful mirror finish of the area adjacent to the brazing and carbide teeth. I have been woodworking as a hobby for about 35 years and I especially bought the blade for it's flat grind teeth which gives a nice square and sharp cornered groove for wood splines applied to strengthen mitered corners. The cost is within my budget and I would recommend it to others. The blade was delivered in only two days. Another good job from Amazon and the smiling, congenial driver !

Only problem is the shipping cost to get sharpened at the factory is expensive unless you have a lot of blades to be sharpened.

This blade is a full 1/8 Kerf blade. Made for higher end table saw. I run a 5 hp 220 volt grizzly table saw. Cut 1 1/2 inch oak as fast as I can push it through. This is a glue line blade. Ideal for cabinet door making where you have to glue wood together to make panel doors. This is a bad ass blade.

I used this blade to rip 6/4 white oak. And while it certainly cut better then a multi-purpose blade it did struggle some ripping the boards with my dewalt contractor saw, which it’s possible just didn’t have the HP for those rips. The cuts were overall good, but I had to do a fair amount of cleaning up to get them ready for glueing up a panel. No issues whatsoever with ply wood, and 4/4 boards. Overall I’m happy with the purchase and I was able to get what I needed done with a little extra effort but if ripping thick hardwood stock to glue up panels is what you are after I’d look into a higher quality ripping blade. Should be pointed out that I am somewhat new to wood working so take my review with a grain of salt.

First Freud Blade purchase. Use on my Saw stop got this specifically for ripping still use factory blade for cross cutting, just like everyone else says "like a hot knife thru butter". My blade didn't look like the one in the picture still a 24 tooth. I really can't see any reason to spend more on a blade, I don't think any other blade costing twice as much could be twice as good.

Exactly what I wanted and needed

Bought this specifically because of the blade profile (FTG) Flat Top Grind. Needed that for some DIY projects. This is a BIG BLADE. The teeth are big, the blade is thick and heavy. I struggled at first to install it on my Mitre saw. It works like a dream, I was using it on cedar. Makes an unbelievable amount of sawdust. That is not entirely caused by the blade, but something to keep in mind, you will be covered with dust from a single cut with this blade if you do not have a dust collection system.

Es la mejor hoja para sierra de mesa que he tenido en un año que llevo de carpintero de fin de semana. Realmente marca una enorme diferencia. Tener una hoja especializada en cortes a lo largo de la veta (rip cuts) hace TODA la diferencia. Cortes limpios, cero quemaduras en los cantos, cortes fáciles sin tener que ejercer demasiada presión al empujar la pieza de madera. Aún en madera tan dura como Tzalam. Verdaderamente encantado con mi nueva hoja. La recomiendo AMPLIAMENTE. Quizá es un poco más cara que otras marcas, pero bien vale la pena la inversión. He sido recompensado con creces.

Great blade at a great price! Quality of cut is fantastic, especially for the money. Carbide is huge and full1/8 kerf. Will test the power on a jobsite saw cutting thick hardwood like oak, its a thick heavy blade. Slow your rate of feed to compensate and keep rpm high, 3 inch material won't be an issue.One of my carbide is chipped after about 200 linear feat of oak, but not sure if the blade arrived that way. Quality of cut is still absolutely acceptable, but it loses 1 star. Contacted Freud about warranty replacement.

What I liked about this product:- it was returnable.What I didn't like about it:- it came with two teeth broken and I found a chip of a tooth in the envelope. Not a first review raising this issue.- inadequate design of a "box". Well, it is not even a box, just a carton envelope which got immediately pierced by sharp teeth. But still, why would they crumb like a cake? I have never experienced that issue with other products of Freud.- Should I not notice the damage, I might have ended up with a tooth in my forehead!- Considering previous reviews and my own experience, this particular saw blades are UNSAFE to use.

After doing about 20 cuts, not much if you are in a project, the blade started burning and causing my smoke alarm to go off.No visible smoke, but definitely need to watch for things getting caught on the cutting blades as anything that sticks to the sides will really slow down and heat up the blade. I only have the 8.25" dewalt table saw to use this in, probably no problem in the larger more hp model.
