Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This blade produces a fine finish when crosscutting in exotic hardwoods, softwoods, and mouldings. The larger blades are ideal for miter box applications. Thin kerf blades remove less material than standard carbide blades, thus requiring less horsepower to produce equally good results. Application: Ultimate Crosscutting Blades For Glass-Smooth Finished With Underpowered Saws

Freud 12" 96 T Thin Kerf September 8, 2008
P. Zenke (Brainerd Lakes, MN)
I installed this blade in a Rigid compound miter saw and am very pleased with the results. It does leave a glass-like finish as advertised. One expects a blade with 96 teeth to cut a bit slower but I have not lost much speed with great results. Cuts very clealny on lower quality plywood as well. This blade will not disappoint!

`This is a great blade for crosscuts. It leaves an exceptionally smooth edge with almost no tearout. Excellent for fine woodworking!

Actually better than Forrest March 30, 2008

Purchased this blade because I was having some trouble cutting think maple on my Porter Cable 12 inch saw with Forrest Chopmaster. I think the positive hook angle and slightly thinner kerf really helped as this blade cuts much without slowing or burning, which the Forrest was doing. I think that was really more of a function of my saw being underpowered, than the Forrest blade. So if you are looking for a good blade for a saw thats a little underpowered, this is the ticket.

Absolutely one of the best on the market period! February 13, 2008

Freud makes some of the best quality products in tools. They are solid, reliable, and just plain well made, and this saw blade is no exception. My old miter saw blade was finally starting to show its age and well just signs of use! So I decided to see what was available as a replacement and since I alread own Freud router and forstner bits well you know how it goes. I picked up this saw blade and I can say in my 15 years of woodworking (handyman type level) including my dad's tools I haven't seen cleaner cuts from a blade. I mean some cuts don't even require sanding it's so nice and clean. Anyway, take a go for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed!

Clean, smooth cuts August 4, 2006

This blade complements a similar 10" Freud blade I have used for three years in my table saw. Excellent performance, fine kerf, almost polished finish to the cut surfaces. The quality of the blade coupled with the excellent price, made this purchase an easy decision.
