Friends,

I have a wonderful blade that I used to have on my miter saw, back when
I had a miter saw. The surface is hard to read but I believe it says
LU84M. I seem to remember when I bought it maybe 18-20 years ago that it
claimed to be designed for miter saws. Something about the rake angle if
my very vague memory is correct.

The other day I had to do a lot of cross-cutting using a sled on my
table saw, and just for the fun of it, I put this blade on. Boy doe this
thing cut well. The end grain surfaces fairly gleam and not a splinter
in sight.

So it seems I must be doing something right.

My questions a

Is my memory correct about this blade being specifically designed for a
miter saw?

Am I doing anything illegal, immoral, unsafe or fattening by using this
blade on a table saw? The cuts sure look nice!

How many teeth? 50 teeth is a combination blade.....80 teeth is a
cross cut miter blade? I sold Freud blades for years, with the teeth
count I can tell you the model number.

I've been using one on my table saw for many years - a standard
"combination" blade - ATBR IIRC.

Me too. Had it on my old Craftsman 20 years ago. Bought a Unisaw and
put it on that before selling the Craftsman with the Delta-supplied
blade on it.

Oops, sorry. This is definitely a crosscut blade. As I said the surface
is hard to read but it might say LU85M.

It's 80 teeth, 10" and has black sides of the disk. One side had white
lettering which is now mostly rubbed off.

It probably said "Ultimate Cut Off Blade" or "Ultimate Chop Saw
Blade". I've had a couple of those and they really do a nice job in a
chop saw. I can't imagine that they wouldn't also do a nice job in a
table saw, although I don't think it'd rip well.

Sounds like it's an LU85 or LU98 with the black body description. What
is the tooth grind configuration - triple chip; hi-alternating top
bevel; alternating top bevel? Also, is it a regular 1/8" kerf or just
slightly under?

It's not an LU84. Could be an LU85, LU74, LU94 or LU98.
