Freud LU94M010 10-Inch 80 Tooth MTCG Plexiglass and Plastic Cutting Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor
The 10-inch Freud LU94M010 Plexiglass and Plastic Cutting Saw Blade is a heavy-duty, industrial blade designed to make smooth, clean cuts when working with a wide range of plastics. It features a modified, application-specific, triple-chip tooth grind, the long-term dependability of TiCo high-density carbide, and the anti-friction performance of Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating. And since it produces less heat than standard blades, you don't have to worry about synthetic work surfaces melting.LU94M010 Plexiglass and Plastic Cutting Saw BladeAt a Glance:Ideal for plexiglass, acrylic, polycarbonate, and other plastic from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thickHeavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slotsSilver I.C.E. coating reduces friction and prevents gummingTechnical Specs:CoatingSilver ICEDiameter10"Teeth80 MTCGArbor5/8"Kerf (K).110Plate (P).087Depth of CutModified Triple Chip Grind (MTCG) Tooth Designfor long life and chipfree cuts in thick stock manmade materialsNegative Hook Angleminimizes chipping in laminates and melamineSpecial Grind and Negative Hook Angle Prevent MeltingBuilt to leave a crisp, high-quality finish when cutting acrylics, polycarbonates and other plastics, this blade features 80 teeth with a special, modified triple-chip grind. Based on the results of extensive computer simulations, this grind helps the blade stay cool while it cuts so your work surface never starts to melt. The blade's teeth also feature negative hook angles, which helps prevent the blade from being too aggressive and further reduces the possibility of melting or chipping.This blade is designed for optimal performance when cutting plastic and Plexiglass that ranges from 1/4 to 1-5/8 inches thick. This blade can also handle chipboard, plywood, or laminates, and it can tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.110 kerf.Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration DesignThis Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade.High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting PerformanceThis plastic and Plexiglass blade's 80 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "plastic blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of work with plastics and solid surfaces, this blend is extra hard--due to the proportion of high-density tungsten carbide that goes into it--and it still offers the mix of improved corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that you expect from TiCo.With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--saving you time and money.Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion, Heat, and Resin BuildupThis blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your work surface and preventing the blade from warping. It also helps prevent resin or "pitch" buildup.Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup means longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster.This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.About Freud: A History of Innovative ManufacturingAn industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud America, Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of superior carbide cutting tools for the woodworking industry. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain Carbide with Titanium, called TiCo, a high-density combination of Titanium and Cobalt.By producing their own carbide, Freud has the unique ability to formulate each tool for each specific application, thereby maximizing the cutting life and performance of the tool. Freud's full line of high-quality, woodworking tools includes saw blades, router bits, shaper cutters, power tools, and more.What's in the BoxFreud LU94M010 Plexiglass and Plastic Cutting Saw Blade--10-inch diameter, 5/8-inch arbor, 80-tooth design.
