Freud LU81M016 16" Heavy Duty Stacked Chipboard Blade

Ideal for sizing plywood, chipboard, and other materials that come in sheets, the 16-inch Freud LU81M016 Heavy-Duty Stacked Chipboard Cutting Saw Blade delivers fast, true cuts for bulk work. Featuring 60 teeth with TiCo high-density carbide tips and Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which helps reduce heat buildup and prevent corrosion, this dependable blade is designed to offer a long life in high-volume settings.LU81M016 Heavy-Duty Stacked Chipboard Cutting Saw BladeAt a Glance:Ideal for stacks of plywood or composite materials 1-1/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Silver I.C.E. coating reduces friction and prevents gumming Technical :CoatingSilver ICEDiameter16"Teeth60 TCGArbor1"Kerf (K).150Plate (P).110Depth of CutTriple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Design offers longer life when cutting abrasive manmade materialsPositive Hook Angle for fast cutting and easy feeding in production applicationsAggressive Setup with Triple-Chip, Tooth Grind for Fast ResizingIdeal for resizing large quantities of chipboard, plywood, laminates, and MDF, this blade can easily handle cutting stacks of material that range from 1-1/4 to 3-1/2 inches thick. It features teeth with a triple-chip grind (TCG) and a positive hook angle that allows for the fast feeding that production applications demand. In this configuration, each flat-top tooth is followed by a trapezoidal tooth that's slightly higher. The trapezoidal tooth delivers a precut slot that's narrower than the final kerf, which helps prevent brittle materials from chipping.Best for use with plywood and composition material and in situations where speed is more important than a smooth finish, this blade can also be used for ripping or crosscutting either hard- or softwoods. It has a 1-inch arbor and produces a 0.150 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.High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting PerformanceThis heavy-duty saw blade's 60 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "laminate blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face of work with laminates, melamine, 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.
