10" x 50T Combination Blade
Amazon.com
The 10-inch Freud LU84R011 Combination Saw Blade with Perma-SHIELD offers a configuration that pairs flat teeth and alternating-top-bevel teeth to ensure strong performance both when ripping and when crosscutting. Also offering TiCo high-density carbide tips, laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that eliminate the need for stabilizers, and Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating to prevent the buildup of friction and heat, this multi-purpose blade is built for lasting convenience.
Combination Tooth Design for Versatility and AccuracyThis blade's 50 teeth are arranged in groups of five, each of which includes one flat-top raker tooth for fast, accurate ripping. Each flat tooth is followed by four alternating-top-bevel (ATB) teeth that are particularly well suited to crosscutting, and large gullets between the teeth ensure effective chip clearance.
This blade is designed for optimal performance when crosscutting materials that are 3/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick or ripping materials that are 3/8 to 1-1/2 inches thick. It makes quick work of hard- and softwood, plywood, and chipboard. It can also handle laminates or 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 .126 kerf.
Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design
This 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 Performance
This combination saw blade's 50 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application- specific TiCo high-density carbide "combination blend." Formulated to help the blade maintain a sharp cutting edge for longer when faced with a variety of applications, this blend includes just a little bit more high-density tungsten carbide than other TiCo blends. And it still offers the full 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.
Perma-SHIELD Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup
Built to withstand tough use in less-than-ideal conditions, this blade is finished with Freud's red Perma-SHIELD--a non-stick coating that reduces friction and nearly eliminates the heat buildup that excess friction can cause. By providing complete thermal insulation, this coating protects your tools and your work surface. And it resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications, which reduces blade warp.
As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into 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.

Got this blade for Delta 10" Contractors saw just before I planned to rip several pieces of hardwood - maple, purpleheart, and walnut. I had heard purpleheart was difficult to work with due to it's hardness. This blade did great ripping several strips of purpleheart as well as the others.

I've just gifted myself a second one of these and I seriously doubt that I'll outlive the pair. I've been a hobbyist woodworker for over fifty years going back to when even the best blades were high speed steel that required periodic resharpening. Then with the advent of carbide toothed blades an entire industry changed and no one has ever looked back. Those first carbide tipped blade were good when compared to their predecessors, but not really great in spite of being quite expensive. Most of my earliest carbide blades were 'box store' purchases from well known and highly regarded blade manufacturers, but Freud blades remained out of reach on my budget for many years. Most, but not all of my previous carbide blades performed pretty well, but learning what to look for in a blade took some time. Any blade will cut almost any type of wood or composite, but cutting and quality of cut are two very different things. Many experienced woodworkers will tell you that you need three different blades. Rip, cross-cut and dado, (which is really a blade set). Of these the rip and cross-cut will likely be used the most and unless you have a saw dedicated to each blade and cut you'll be changing blades quite often. That can take time and you might be tempted to skip it, but doing so would be a mistake that could spoil an otherwise perfect cut. That's where so called combination blades come in and this blade is one of the best, if not the very best. It's been designed to do both rip and cross-cuts without the need to switch between the two. Some might say this type of blade is a compromise and they would not be entirely incorrect. But this Freud blade is so good that few would realize there's a difference. This is a premium full kerf blade best used on table saws of 3 hp or more. It will work on lower powered saws, but they may struggle in denser or thicker materials. One thing that sets this blade apart from thin kerf versions of similar combination blades is the inclusion of a flat ground raker tooth behind each group of teeth. This not only clears the chips, but also leaves a square flat bottomed cut: a cut typical from a rip blade, but not possible with a cross-cut blade - best of both worlds and useful for dados, ploughs and rabbits. This a seriously good blade and worth every penny of it's price. Easily comparable with blades costing double or more. This blade will deliver satisfaction for years and years, take it from a guy who likely won't live long enough to need another.

I used to have dewalt blades on my contractor table saw and always was struggling with feed perfect straight cuts and my blades kept deflecting, once I put this blade it I couldn’t believe the cut quality, the blade is thicker so no deflecting and this blade although not for laminate but cuts like a laser through laminate

it is my #17 (?) 50 tooth combination blade from Freud in last 8 years. Most of those blades had underwent 7-10 re-sharpening procedures before I was ready to give it to my friends that do framing work with 10-inch miter saw. I have to mention that I hear a lot of positive feed back from framing guys using these blades after it did work on my table saw. :)I am a small home improvement contractor. I make custom cabinets, bookshelves, entry doors and trim. It is not a furniture production business. Sometimes I will not turn my table saw on for several days. However, these Freud 50 tooth combination blades are heavy workers on my 3 HP cabinets saw. Unless I have to rip cut a lot of heavy hardwood I wouldn't remove this blade from my saw and replace it with a rip blade, for the rest of the time this 50 tooth blade from Freud does the most of the job.It rip cuts pretty well on plywood, oak, walnut, pine and maple and it crosscuts very good plywood, oak, walnut, pine and maple. This blade would easily survive after 7-8 re-sharpenings and it will give you very clean cut lines on most of plywood and hardwoods that are commonly used for cabinets and doors production. I am sure that there are more expensive and better blades and probably even fancier. This blade will do the work for me, it doesn't cost a lot and it lasts. Pretty much it is all what I am looking for when I am buying a blade for my table saw.

I purchased this blade a few weeks ago and put it on my new Hitachi C10FL table saw. I've always had good experience with Freud products and this blade isn't much of an exception. It is a hefty piece of steel and overall well made. The carbide teeth are THICK which will allow many resharpenings. It is a GOOD blade, but NOT "excellent". For general purpose use that will give acceptable results it certainly lives up to its manufacturer ratings for various types of cuts in different material. A few important points to note, however. There is splintering on the end of a cross cut, I suspect this is mostly due to the flat top grind raker tooth as my "low budget" Lowes bought Freud combo blade with all ATB teeth leaves a cleaner cross cut. The Teflon coating seems to be more of a hindrance than a blessing. It is not perfectly flat in all places, and seems to clog the anti vibration slots in the blade body. Also, the coating has worn off where the arbor washers contact it - I carefully sanded the coating away in this area. The blade does not vibrate at all, and I feel stiffeners aren't necessary though they can't hurt I'm sure. Although I am not sorry I bought this blade, I will be purchasing either a Forrest blade or two separate blades - rip and crosscut in order to get the perfect result for each type of cut. My recommendation would be to go with the LU84M011 blade instead - doesn't have the unhelpful Teflon coating and is ten dollars cheaper.
