This Freud circular saw blade is designed for smooth surface cuts in laminated panels, chipboard, and MDF. Its extra-thin kerf and aggressive tooth angles reduce friction and material removal, requiring less power for clean, effortless sawing. The blade features high-quality precision-ground carbide teeth with ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry for smooth surfaces that minimize sanding. The "Perma-SHIELD Protection" coating reduces friction, prevents corrosion, and ensures durable cutting performance. A premium steel body with a special rolled-in tension ring provides stability, accuracy, and flatness. Laser-cut expansion slots dampen vibration and noise, preventing blade warp. It is compatible with plunge and handheld saws. Specifications: Outer diameter: 165mm, Bore size: 20mm, Kerf Thickness: 1.5mm, Number of teeth: 48. Made from Titanium Cobalt Carbide (TiCo) for a sharp edge and extended cutting life. The Perma Shield non-stick coating withstands tough applications, provides thermal insulation, protects from corrosion, and reduces resin build-up.
