This heavy-duty blade is good for crosscutting thick hardwoods and softwoods and thinner stock materials. The ideal working range is from 3/4" to 3-1/2" thick for crosscutting, and 1/4" to 1" thick for ripping. Thinner or thicker material may be cut, but some loss of surface finish may occur. An industry leader for more than 50 years, Freud is the only manufacturer of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own Micro-Grain Carbide with titanium called TiCo, a high-density combination of titanium and cobalt. By producing their own carbide, Freud has the unique ability to formulate each tool for each specific application, thereby maximizing the cutting life and performance of the tool. Ideal for general purpose applications. Crosscuts 3/4" to 3-1/2" and rips 1/4" to 1" thick.
