| About Freud Industrial Blades
Freud's industrial series blades were designed for the serious woodworker. Available in a variety of styles for different applications, LU blades feature thick carbide tips, precision-tensioned bodies found in every Freud quality blade. Some LU blades include a red Teflon coating that helps reduce friction, heat build-up, and gumming -- which prolongs the life of the blade. About this Combination Saw Blade
The ultimate combination blade is now available in a thin kerf design with Freud's LU83R. The groups of five teeth include one flat tooth for ripping, followed by four alternate top bevel teeth for crosscutting and a large gullet for effective chip clearance. This blade also features Laser-cut anti-vibration slots, practically eliminating the vibration that resonates in standard blades. With this combination blade, there is no need for stabilizers. Applications
This exceptional blade rips and crosscuts wood, chip board, plywood, and laminate -- but it is not recommended for ferrous metals or masonry. Warranty
This blade is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

 Great blade for a lesser-powered saw April 28, 2008
I have been using this Freud thin kerf blade on a table saw that is not one of the big shop monsters. The thin kerf rips and crosscuts through most wood, including walnut and oak, without a drastic loss of rpms. And the cut is so smooth that it reduces time spent on edge finishing. If you have a smaller table saw, I think you will like this blade.
Great Blade! March 19, 2008
I have bought several lower priced blades that claim they are just as good as mid to high end blades. This blade is my 2nd Freud blade. This is an outstanding blade for ripping and crosscutting. I have a nice grizzly z series contractors saw. I get splinter free cuts every time. I do use zero clearance inserts and a miter gauge with a fence with zero clearance, which adds to the cut quality. The cut surface is very smooth with no burns. No sanding needed in most cases. The price is right too. GO FOR IT!

Freud LU83R010 March 5, 2008
This blade is really great! I installed it on my Griz contractors saw after using a standard width blade for years. So far it has performed flawlessly. Although I have not cut through any 8/4 lumber yet it cut effortlessly through some 5/4 cherry. I am really happy with it so far. Also, because it is a thin kerf blade there is less wood waste. Looks like it is very well made. I also have the Freud Super Dato and that blade is one of the top rated blades. Good company - you can't go wrong with them.
 Does the job February 27, 2008
I just installed this blade in my table saw, and while the LU88 crosscuts much smoother, the LU83 is another nice blade, better for ripping than the LU88. A little tearout, and my 2.5HP table saw bogged down a little, but it makes a much better cut than my old no-name blade. I put the LU88 in my mitre saw, and the LU83 in my table saw.
smooth as glass January 2, 2008
I was first introed to this blade in the freud trailer at a distributor tool show. The Freud exhibitor had this as his favorite rip blade. It rips every bit as smooth as the glue line rip blade, but it has a thicker cut capacity. The glue line blade is border line if you use 4/4 lumber. I will never use anything else to rip with. Keep if clean and you can get cuts that glue together without jointing. Thank you Freud.
