This heavy-duty crosscut blade is designed primarily for heavy use in a cabinetmaker’s shop. Combining a 10º hook angle and the alternate top bevel tooth grind, this blade provides a good crosscut and long cutting life in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and chipboard. The LU73M series is ideal for cutting a wide variety of materials most commonly used by cabinet makers in thicknesses from 1/2" to 2- 3/4" thick.

• Premium TiCo™ HI-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend for Maximum Performance
• Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) Tooth Design gives quality crosscuts
• Precision Tensioning with computer controlled equipment keeps the blade flat and true while maximizing blade life and performance
• Silver Ice Coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up

Freud’s Silver I.C.E.™ Coating is a revolutionary coating that resists heat twice as long as standard polished blades. The shiny, mirror-like coating protects the blade from heat stress that can cause rapid loss of tension, which in turn causes blade warp, overheating, and poor cut quality. Additionally, the coating reduces the possibility for corrosion, resin, or pitch build-up, which further reduces the heat element responsible for drag on the motor. Freud’s newest evolution of coating is now much more vibrant with an improved polished appearance resulting in even better thermal reduction properties and eliminates pitch build-up and body corrosion. Reduction of pitch build-up further reduces the heat element, so the machine does not get bogged down. Not only will the end user see a better quality of cut but they will realize a benefit of less machine maintenance as well. The thermal barrier of the coating allows the plate to remain cool and consistent throughout its life and sharpening services. This protects the plate from cutting stresses which can prematurely cause a blade to loose tension or bend during cutting which can result in maintained bills for both the blade and the machine.
