Freud LU3A03
Score: 92/100Rankings
The Freud LU3A03 is a high-precision 300mm panel sizing blade designed for professional use on sliding table saws. It excels at producing chip-free finishes on bilaminated panels without needing a scoring blade, thanks to its specialized Hi-ATB tooth geometry. While expensive and specialized, it offers superior material efficiency and cut quality for high-volume panel processing.
The CMT 215.050.10 is an industrial-grade 10-inch combination circular saw blade featuring a 4ATB+1TCG tooth configuration designed for versatile ripping and crosscutting of soft/hard woods, plywood, and chipboard. It utilizes heavy-gauge German steel with a PTFE Orange Shield coating to ensure durability and reduced drag, though the thicker kerf may waste more material. It is best suited for professional woodworkers needing a single blade for mixed tasks with a focus on clean finishes.
