Freud Saw Blades

[LyNx]

I need to replace the blade on the new TS. I've been looking at the Freud range and found the likely candidate.

From the two Links, i'm hoping this is the same blade.

It's only for sheet material and i need one thats a "low Noise" as stated on the second link.

Has anyone used this blade?

Sorry if this subject has been addressed before :roll:

Doesn't look to be the low noise (SS) one. I've scanned in the page from the Freud catalogue for you:

I had this blade (but swapped it for a LU10M) - it gave a superb finish not just on sheet material.
I think this the low noise one:

Thanks for taking the time to scan this in, nice one.

I did notice this statement on the original blade

"Quieter working environment. Up to 40% reduction in noise levels."

No probs. That description is in the intro to the industrial saw blades in the catalogue. I'm guessing the "up to" means if you get a SS (Low Noise) blade but may be worth checking with Freud.
The 11M I had had a quite a whooshy windy noise IIRC.

Gidon, where did you purchase the blade from. Doesn't seem to be many hits when i search in google

I bought it directly from Freud at a show ! The industrial blades seem to be pretty tricky to get hold of (but better suited to stationary saws) - the red Pro blades seem to much easier to find.

Yes, they'r5e thicker. If in doubt try a saw doctor or a power tool distributor who sells Freud router bits as opposed to Trend
