Score: 92/100Rankings
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 Milwaukee 49-25-1263 is a professional-grade oscillating multi-tool blade pack featuring Titanium Charged bi-metal construction for exceptional durability and multi-material cutting performance. Its primary limitation is incompatibility with Starlock systems, which may affect users with newer Milwaukee tools. It is best suited for professional contractors and tradespeople working on demolition and renovation projects requiring versatile, long-lasting blades.
