Freud LU85R008 8 Inch 64T Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade with 5/8 Inch Arbor and Silver I.C.E. Coating for Glass Smooth Finishes in Hardwood and Softwood

Achieve a Mirror-Like Finish with the Industry's Leading Precision Cut-Off Blade

The Freud LU85R008 8-Inch Ultimate Cut-Off Saw Blade is the definitive choice for high-production woodworking environments that demand a glass-smooth finish without the need for secondary sanding. Engineered with a specialized 25-degree High Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB) tooth geometry and axial shear face technology, this blade significantly decreases cutting pressure. This results in a superior finish and minimal blowout even during extremely high-speed crosscutting applications in hardwoods, softwoods, and delicate moldings.

To ensure peak performance and longevity, the LU85R008 features Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide and a state-of-the-art Silver I.C.E. (Industrial Cooling Element) coating. This advanced coating reduces heat friction and prevents resin build-up, protecting the blade from rust and corrosion while providing the longest run time of any optimizing blade on the market. With laser-cut anti-vibration slots and a laser-cut body from 48 Rockwell steel, this blade remains perfectly flat and true, delivering the precision required for professional-grade furniture making and cabinetry.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To achieve the legendary "glass-smooth" finish this blade is capable of, ensure your saw's fence and miter gauge are perfectly square. Because the teeth are designed to polish the material, a slow and steady feed rate will yield the best results, especially when working with pre-finished moldings or delicate veneers.
