I find this blade to do an excellent job in my table saw. I have had many Freud blades in the blast and they have all been good.

....master of none. This blade has all the great aspects of a typical Freud blade - quality carbide, well built, anti-vibration slots, lifetime warranty, etc. It does alot of things reasonably well, but isn't particular strong in any regard, other than the TCG teeth are more durable than other grinds. Several of Freud's other general purpose blades crosscut better, rip more efficiently, have faster feedrates, and are generally more versatile. Being that it's full kerf, it also bogs the motor on my saw more than many others. I just can't find an application that gives this blade any advantages over others in my shop. I much prefer the LU86, LU88, and even the LU84.
Impressive Blade [Posted on 2007-03-03]
You're not going to believe this, but...... I bought this blade in 2004 on sale to replace the OEM blade that came on my Table Saw. This blade made perfectly smooth cuts on Oak, Cherry and Cedar without so much as a tooth mark: cross cut or rip cut. After about 2 years of casual use, it started to leave a fuzzy edge so I bought the WWII to replace it. I was not impressed- the WW blade left very subtle tooth marks (on the same saw and set up mind you) that were visible when holding the cut towards a light. Not drastic, but subtle. The WW required much more feed pressure and vibrated pretty bad when cutting.
I cleaned the pitch off the Freud with a brass brush and blade cleaner, and it was back to normal. Freud blade cut with less vibration and less feed pressure than the WWII. While I was not impressed with the $100bWWII, I can recommend this LU82M010 blade all day long. It is very impressive for a $30 blade. This is a Triple Chip blade according to the Freud catalog. I also notice that the picture of this blade does not show the laser cut anti-vibration slots my blade has (the long s-shaped cuts).
Nice Blade [Posted on 2008-03-15]
Nice blade. As expected very smooth cut. The cost is that it removes a lot of wood. It performed as expected. This is a finishing blade and I might try a thinner blade with the same number of teeth as my next purchase. Some wood is very expensive.
Rip Capabilities of a combo blade [Posted on 2008-04-06]
This blade replaced a 24 tooth exclusive rip blade (Freud also, in the same price range). I can tell no significant difference in the quality and effort needed to rip maple. And it doesn't splinter cross grain plywood badly. Seems a good value.
