Freud’s Premier Fusion Saw Blades - A New Standard in General Purpose Saw Blades?
Freud’s award winning Premier Fusion General Purpose Saw Blades have been around for about a year in 10″ form - and have gone down very well with the woodworkers. They’re not cheap, but the design and build qualities produce such a good cut - ripping or crosscutting - that many are more than happy to hand over their cash. It really is one blade that does it all, ideal for hard and soft wood, veneered plywood and melamine.
Now the same technology is available in a 12″ saw blade, perfect for use in table saws and chop saws. For those interested in the detail this features:
- “Fusion” Tooth Design - Double side ground design fused with Hi-ATB tooth geometry gives glass smooth side finishes as well as a chip-free top and bottom during both ripping and crosscutting applications.
- Perma-SHIELD Permanent Non-Stick Coating that protects it against corrosion, gumming and pitch build-up.
- Freud-made TiCo Hi-Density General Purpose Blend of Carbide is specifically blended for the ultimate in precision and long cutting life in general purpose applications.
- New anti-vibration reed design virtually eliminates all vibration and produces the cleanest cuts possible, making the use of a stabilizer unnecessary.
- Pre-tensioned blades assure that the blade will remain flat through the shocks from cutting and stresses from turning at high speeds.
Freud’s part number is P412 and the full range of Freud saw blades should be available online from both Rockler.com and Woodcraft.com.
