The Freud Thin Kerf Combination Blade's combination build, each set of 5 teeth is separated by a large gullet. This large gullet provides the chip removal space required while ripping, and the close grouping of teeth within the set provide the smaller bite size required when crosscutting. The Silver I.C.E. coating resists corrosion and build-up and has 2 times more heat resistance and life than conventional uncoated blades. The thin kerf saw blade requires less cutting power from the user and the saw, allowing more control over the cut for safer operation.
