Dremel MM485B
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Freud LU88R010 is a high-performance 10-inch thin kerf circular saw blade designed for smooth, fine-finish crosscuts in hardwoods and plywood. Its 60 ATB teeth and 15° hook angle enable faster feed rates and smoother cuts, while the thin kerf design reduces power draw significantly. It is best suited for hobbyists with underpowered saws and professionals requiring chip-free crosscuts.
The Dremel MM485B is a high-performance carbide flush-cutting blade designed for oscillating multi-tools, offering exceptional durability and speed in tough materials. Its primary limitation is incompatibility with plastics and ferrous metals, restricting its use to specific renovation tasks. It is best suited for professional renovators and contractors who require long-lasting blades for hard materials like tile and galvanized screws.
