 Superb Blade February 22, 2003
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I've used this blade to rip everything from MDF to Red oak. It cuts like a hot knife in butter. No evidence of chip out and the edges are ready to glue up from Oak to soft woods like pine. I've used this blade to rip what is was intended to and not intended for and its a dream. No more touching or finishing up imperfect cuts. A great time saver and well worth the additional price. Get it now you won't be sorry.

To say I no longer use my jointer would be slightly untrue, but about 85 percent of the time I don't. This blade is a pure joy to own. Without sounding like an ad for Freud..... I rip and glue. What a time and money saver!

I work with 4/4 and 6/4 walnut almost exclusively. This is the best blade I've found for ripping it. Assuming the lumber is planed when ripped, it goes straight to the glue-up table from the back side of the saw. I've sold my other blades, including my Forrest, and use only the LU74, LU72, and the LU85.

I've both used and sold these blades for a couple years. They're amazing. Cuts are quick & smooth. Blade stays cool and lasts a long time. However, I've been equally impressed with the non-coated version of the same blade. It is about $15 less & doesn't burn wood chips into the coating. Save a few $$s & buy the little brother.

I love it!!! Once you get used to this blade you can't live without it. It does a great job of ripping boards and I don't know what the other guy is talking about with the problem with hardwoods. I use 8/4 cherry frequently and it rips right through it. Overall a great investment and a great alternative to a jointer if you don't have the funds for a high end model.
