Bri55: This blade has improved my tablesaw so much! I replaced my old conventional width carbide tooth blade and the improvement is so obvious. No more burning and far less dust. It doesn’t work the saw nearly as hard as the old blade did. I should have bought this blade years ago.

DanDan: my table saw blade was BEAT. I struggled to find a new 9” blade for it and debated just buying a 10” table saw instead. I bought this new blade, and it ripped a couple 2x4 pressure treated boards like butter. Very happy with the blade so far.

MARK BEASLEY: Cuts great. I had a full kerf blade prior which did not cut as well

Graeme Flynn: After dealing with the standard Dewalt blades, I'd wish I had of bought this blade from the beginning.

accessguy: Needed a new saw blade because my old ⅛"-kerf carbide blade was becoming a "heavy smoker", and I was suffering from the second-hand smoke. 9" saw blades are getting hard to find, so I was pleased to locate this one. This blade ran and cut much quieter than my old blade, and my table saw sounds like a purring kitten now instead of screeching train wheels. Cut is clean and precise. A real pleasure to work with.

passpass: Ok this muther of a bad boy has been sitting in my Citadel for a few weeks now...just waiting for that Festool HK85 that’s sposed to get here from good ol Italy any day now( he...just got it now that this blade is also from Italy...well waddya know???? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣) ...so I’m simply D.I.Y.ing (🤣🤣🤣🤣) to try it out on that big ol Demon Of A Saw ...
now there might be some issues cause a Freud/Diablo blade ain’t sposed to go on this specific 9” Festool Saw( which for some strange reason ain’t available on the US market) , the HK85’s riving knife is more or less specifically tailored for Festool Blades, or vice versa , but you get the picture.
Which means a 2.5mm max kerf width I think, and a 1.8mm blade width... or is it 2.5mm and 3.2... for that ol river to work at gettin those kickbacks down to a minimum and all...but according to the specs in On the package i think they’ll be ok...

And the bore will need enlarging as well...

Cmon now when’s that Saw gettin here?!?
I can’t wait so long !!!get me that Saw already!!!

Sorry...
🤦🏽‍♀️🤣😜

Anyway...

Ben: I got this Freud LU88R009 blade for my Craftsman 9 inch radial arm saw from 1972 after reading positive reviews here on Amazon. I got the saw for free about 8 years ago and never set it up until recently. It came with 3 blades. The first 2 blades smoked my garage out and the 3rd one (which was never used before me) cuts without burning but the cut is not very clean. So now I start looking for 9 inch blades. It wasn't as easy as I thought since no one really carries 9 inch blades anymore. Thankfully there are some companies that still make them and Amazon carries them. I chose this Freud blade for price and versatility. The blade crosscuts so much better than what I had and is incredibly quiet compared to the old Craftsman Chisel Tooth hss blade that was in there. It leaves a very clean cut with an almost shiny surface in the hard maple I've been working with. This blade, for me anyway, still leaves a tiny bit of tear out on the bottom of the cut and some circular marks on the cutting surface but it's so much better than what I had and the tear out is so minimal that it cleans right up with a couple strokes of 150 grit sandpaper. Of course, some of that could be my technique and...
