The Freud LU91R008 8-1/2" Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade is built for professionals who demand precise, finish-ready cuts with maximum control. This blade, part of the Freud/Diablo lineage, combines a narrow kerf with a smart 5° negative hook angle to deliver clean bevels and crosscuts on sliding compound miter saws without pushing the workpiece away from the fence.

• Thin kerf for less effort: removes less material than standard carbide blades, meaning your saw works less hard and you achieve smooth, chip-free finishes with each pass.
• 5° negative hook angle for controlled feeding: reduces aggressiveness, helps push the workpiece down and toward the fence, and minimizes tear-out on delicate woods and laminated substrates.
• Engineered for finish quality: high-grade carbide teeth deliver consistent, edge-holding performance across miters and bevels, reducing the need for sanding and touch-ups.
• Durable, industrial-grade build: designed for repeated cuts in shop environments, with construction that resists dulling when tackling tough substrates.
• Versatile for cabinetmaking and trim: ideal for cabinetry, crown molding, baseboards, and fine trim work where crisp lines and square corners matter.
• Efficiency and compatibility: optimized for 8-1/2" sliding compound miter saws, delivering precise cuts with lower horsepower draw to extend motor life.

Whether you’re a professional carpenter, woodworker, or serious DIYer, this blade helps you achieve consistent, factory-like finishes on a range of materials—from hardwoods to plywood and laminated composites. For best results, pair with a steady feed, clean cuts, and proper saw speed to maximize the benefits of the LU91R008’s thin kerf and negative hook geometry.
