Freud LU79R010 10 Inch 80 Tooth Thin Kerf Ultimate Plywood Melamine Saw Blade Hi-ATB Carbide 5/8 Arbor Chip Free Finish

Achieve Flawless Factory-Edge Finishes on Veneers and Laminates

Eliminate the frustration of chipped edges and rework with the Freud LU79R010 10-Inch Ultimate Plywood & Melamine Saw Blade. Engineered specifically for the most demanding fine finish applications, this industrial-grade blade delivers razor-sharp, chip-free cuts in double-sided melamine, veneered plywoods, and delicate laminates. The secret lies in the High Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB) tooth design combined with a thin kerf geometry. This configuration slices through fragile outer layers with surgical precision, often eliminating the need for a scoring blade or stabilizer while requiring less horsepower from your saw.

Built to last, the LU79R010 features Freud's proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide Crosscutting Blend, optimized for maximum edge retention and performance. The blade body is laser-cut with advanced anti-vibration slots that drastically reduce noise and sideways movement, ensuring the cut remains perfectly straight and smooth. Finished with Freud's Perma-SHIELD™ Non-Stick Coating, this blade resists heat buildup, gumming, and corrosion, making it the ultimate choice for cabinet makers and trim carpenters seeking perfection in every pass.

Pro-Tip: To achieve the absolute best results when cutting double-sided melamine, pair this blade with a Zero Clearance Insert (ZCI) on your table saw. The ZCI supports the wood fibers right up to the cut line, working in tandem with the Hi-ATB tooth design to virtually guarantee a chip-free bottom edge.
