Is This The BEST Saw Blade Ever? / Freud Premier Fusion
Getting good quality table saw cuts is significant to woodworkers who consider themselves to be serious about their woodworking and what they are making which is often boxes, picture frames, and quality furniture like chairs, tables, cabinets, and benches. We have often relied on high-quality dedicated cross-cutting and ripping blades for these purposes. Still, anyone who has seen the quality of cuts you can get from the Freud Premier Fusion, General Purpose blade can quickly change their mind. If you are constantly swapping blades in your table saw, you will definitely want to look at this blade. Imagine a blade that is good as the best ripping and crossing blades, but you never have to change the Freud blade, that's the kind of quality you can expect, clean saw blade cuts with virtually no tear-out, chipping of wood fiber loss, truly the next generation in saw blades from Freud tools.

If it had some flat-top rakers, this would be the one blade to run them all
I totally agree with adding the flat-top rakers. It sure would help from having to switch over to a dado stack for non-through cuts. Must have something to do with causing tearing-out when cross cutting.
Amen.
You're the Tolkien of woodworking!
I bought my first Freud blade 10 years ago & they're all I use. Awesome quality & performance. Good video Colin.
I cut melamine every day with Freud blades on a table saw and on a chop saw, and I can say that the blade will always do well at first, however within a short time it will be dull enough to chip out the "bottom" melamine, and only with a sacrificial board can you be assured of a clean cut. This is why most cabinets are cut on CNC router tables with sacrificial MDF sheets under the melamine. When I need a clean cut on both sides I might use a sacrificial piece or sometimes I use a track saw since that can also get pretty good clean cuts on both sides. Melamine is tough on saw blades and the glues and resins they bind the wood together with aren't great either. Just my two cents.
Thankx for your enchantingly sincere, wise and pro videos. Greetings from Hungary.
Thanks for sharing those tips!
Pretty impressive results indeed, Colin! Fantastic blade! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Been using these for year's, brilliant blade's, and very clean cut. They re-sharpen very well too and they stay cleaner longer 🙂
Thanks for that , valuable information as always 😀
Wow - wow. Excellent. Thank you.👍👍👊
Love that blade. It's been my go-to for many years. Just bought my second after several resharpenings of the original. An absolute bargain as well.
OK, ordered mine, thank you
One reason Diablo blades are so good is they ARE made by Freud. Actually Bosch owns both the Freud and Diablo brands. While Freud is normally rated as the best in price range, and rightfully so, Diablo is just a little bit lower in quality and price range. Keep in mind, BOTH are high quality tools and well worth the price. Comparing these two brands of the same type/style blades, will show the results are nearly identical. Thanks for another GREAT video. As always, you present a load of educational information.
Thanks for sharing that video I had one of those blade and yes I agree with you 100%. They are good blade I use it for over a few years eventually it get dull and I was a throw it away try to buy another one but it's very cost too much money right now I never knew it cost that much today
Good advice 👍 like you show 👏
Agreed on the comment as to needing some flat top raker teeth. Does look like a great blade. Like you, my two main blades are the Freud 90 TC Ross cut and their glue-line rip
Going to give the thin-kerf version of the fusion a try.
I'm a big fan of my amana prestige 40t - heard good things about this Freud too
My Amana Prestige outperforms my Freud and CMT blades, cuts easier, stays sharper longer
I love that blade, but I sadly destroyed my Diablo blade (didn't know the wood I was cutting was loaded down with nails) so I upgraded to the exact one you have. It's very nice
I agree. I just bought the Freud dado stack. I’m going to do a video comparing it to the harbor freight stack.
I've been using Diablo forever but I might have to try this blade out
I tripped my Sawstop break yesterday by hitting a piece of metal (not a finger). I may give this blade a try after the new break arrives.
Impressive blade but I really would have liked to have seen a comparison with, say, the oft recommended (by you, too, I believe) Diablo 60 tooth combination blade.
i just sent some blades in for sharpining and my dioblo they said over half the carbides were cracked and i had just taken it off my saw. Ridge Carbide does a great job resharpening btw.
Very informative and much appreciated. That being said, I don't understand the constant harping on the cost. If it were $650, sure. If you can't afford $65 then woodworking probably isn't for you. If people are complaining to you about high prices it's time for them to grow up. The price of goods isn't on you. 😀
great presentation video - thx a lot. This Steve you are talking about, is that Steve Ramsey? You missed to put the channel into your descriptions, I am afraid. Greetings and blessings from Germany!
I've been telling people about this blade whenever there is interest in woodworking and I will say it again: this is really the best single blade you can get. It's literally an "upgrade" for any table saw that doesn't have one. Forget about those boutique blades that keep getting recommended by youtubers trying to do a favor for their buddies who sell crappy blades... Freud Industrial makes good blades and other cutting tools in general but this Premier Fusion is really going to be the last blade you buy for your table saw. I use the P410T which is the thin-kerf version. You will be able to make precise cuts in any kind of wood. It stays crazy sharp for so long, that even though the initial price is higher it will keep going whereas cheaper blades would have had to have been replaced or resharpened...and there's enough meat on the teeth to resharpen the P410T when it finally does need it (mine 5+ years still sharp as new and I've cut many feet of wood in that time).
Typically with melamine I have to do a scoring cut first then raise he blade for a second cut. This blade gets thumbs up in single pass melamine. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the video Colin. I am looking for an affordable 10" flat kerf blade since I plan do do some box joints. Any suggestions?
U need to try these SAXTON BLADES Colin my friend.. They're far cheaper and the cuts are fantastic. I have been very impressed by them so far. I have been using a 28T 250mm x 30mm Bore and 2.6mm Kerf.. I also bought their 40T 250mm x 30mm bore 2.6mm kerf.. There has been no tear out so far and I've been using the 28T for ripping Plywood, MDF, OSB board, hardwoods, softwoods, etc.. The cut from my 40T SAXTON blade is so clean as well Colin. I would like to ask u to give them a try if u have then cash to spend. They're very inexpensive blades. I don't know if they're stamp pressed blades bcos I'm not in my shop atm but i will check tomorrow and let u know.. Thanks for the heads up on these FREUD blades..
Sure, like your information. I do mostly high-end work, but on a small scale. My question is can a woodworker get just as good a cut with an 8.5-inch table saw. I need to get a new one and am curious to know if it is just as accurate as a 10-inch blade? Probably will get a contractors saw since I do not do a great amount of work. Thanks
I've been trying out the Spider Tarantula blades... they're probably all from the same factory lol with different paint
I have the other blade from freud 40T 7 1/4 for circular saw (Freud D0740A Diablo 7-1/4-inch 40T ATB 5/8-inch Arbor Finishing Saw Blade) best in class.
A blade many channels recommend are the CMT blades. How do those two compare? I have had some Diablo blades, same parent company owns them, and the issue I have with them is they can leave red marks on the wood. Also, how are these going to compare to blades like Forrest and other high end blades?
I would prefer a comparison video. That would be the only way to truly show superiority. If you decide to do that don’t forget Ridge Carbide.
Will the freud 40t innovative 10 inch blade be good to rip or cross cut purple heart and tiger woods?
How does the thin kerf compare, equally as impressive? Or just the full kerf stands out
I’m looking for a tri-cut blade like those on a pruning saw however I want to use it with a rep saw. Any ideas ?
Don't forget those juicy affiliate links folks. Kerching!
Nice thru-cuts for sure. Does this blade have any flat face ground raker teeth? I don't really care for the grooves and bat ear cuts produced in dados by ATB blades without rakers.
I imagine that this blade is great for DIY. High production companies often use Stehle , Leitz or Leuco.
Where can I find Freud blades & what is best type blade for circular saw & miter saw ?
Not many come close to the perfection of a Forrest blade. How does this Freud compare to blades like this?
I haven't had good luck with thin-kerf blades, even the Freuds, they tend to flex on me and leave somewhat of a very slightly wavy edge.
Yep, especially on a 12-inch compound miter saw.
You're probably doing it wrong. The blade won't flex if you manage the feed rate, which depends on the power of your saw and the material you are cutting. Anything more than a moderate pressure is too much (if you are using a miter saw), and with a table saw you need to properly align the blade to the riving knife before using it.
@alphaforce6998 Yeah dude, no one knows how to use a saw but you.
@@Skinnymoose Somehow you've landed yourself in the 0.01% of people who manage to blend these blades. I've never had that problem. If it wasn't user-error, then you are essentially telling us that the proper operation of a table saw and/or miter saw is something that you struggle with.
I only have one caution on this blade. The alternating teeth will leave a slot that is slightly rounded; not flat. That has been my experience.
I own this blade but still prefer my glue line blade and ultimate cut off blade. I find the result to be a little better.
I prefer my Diablo 80 tooth. Only blade I've been using for atleast 17 years
I have the 12 inch combination thick kerf on my table saw and get cuts like that 100.00 for that one.
Does anyone have eperience with the bosch expert for wood blades? They are made by the same manufacturers and therefore I'm wondering wich is the better blade.
I usually only run Diablo blades, but sometimes I buy Freud, I simply can’t justify spending top dollar for a blade. Yes they can be sharpened, but you have to buy two top dollar blades while you’re waiting on the other to be sharpened. The Diablo blades cut nicely in my opinion. I have never tried the blade you addressed in this video, nor have I even used the the Freud glue line blades. Thank for the recommendation. I might just try the blade you shared with us. Can the freud blade be sharpened?
Yes it can be sharpened.
Diablo is made by Freud
@@nicholasmarino17 yes they do, but the Diablo blades are cheaper, at least where I live.
Sorry Collin......Im sticking with CMT. Same quality and re-sharpen able also, at less cost.
So this blade is an alternating top bevel and it will not produce a flat bottom cut. So if used for a dado it will produce a rough bottom. Is this correct?
Yes, that is correct
@@charlessas4138 do you know if this blade is made with a flat top bevel so it can be used for dados and other situations where a flat bottom cut is preferred ?
No flat ground tooth. If you want flat bottom kerf, you would need to buy a Flat Top blade
I like the Freud blades but on my Sawstop Industrial cabinet saw the Freud blades are shorter in height than the riving knife so if you are doing a cut that doesn't pass through the piece and have the riving knife on, the knife hits the cut and lifts the board up. It's kinda bull that you have to grind the riving knife down to do these kind of cuts. None of my other blades are like this.
Interesting. I don’t have that issue on my saw which is the same model.
If you slap a WEN blade from Amzn for $12,00 ,see just how well it cuts. When it’s toast ,toss it to the recycle bin . Mine lasted 5 months.
Prestige electric blu. Only way to go 👍👍
I got a high end industrial blade when I bought my table saw, it's a great combo blade. Cost $300 canadian. It's amazing. I use CMT blades as well. No more Freud for me.
I thought you get a better cut with the blade higher, because of the angle the tooth hits the stock.....
Will this blade trigger the sawstop sensor as it’s painted red
I think your sensor is a tad too slow, Kate, if it only reacts when it senses blood. 😎
I think what you mean is, will the SawStop safety system still function with this blade even though it has a red coating. I have a couple of red Freud blades for my SawStop PCS, and the test is to mount the blade in the saw, turn the main power switch on and let the saw go through it's self tests, then gently touch one tooth with your finger (blade not spinning, obviously). If the red light flashes, then you know the saw can sense your finger and it will work. My red Freud blades pass this test so yes they work fine.
@@62effjay thank you
Thank you. Great blade review. Hate to see you work without a splitter, riving knife, push stick and over arm blade guard. I always use those safety devices even for demos.
I'm going to guess this is covered on your Choosing Blades video referenced at the end, but you probably should not use the full kerf blade if you have a lower hp saw. (I have a 3 hp Sawstop, and have used premier fusion for quite some time.) It is my understanding all the Diablo blades are think kerf. Also, why are you not using a riving knife when ripping those boards? (I would have said blade guard, but then the viewer would not be able to see the cut.) I think viewers newer to the use of a table saw should be instructed on some basic safety ideas, or at least told when you are not following them.
We will have to look for something else because we DO NOT buy goods from germany
Jack, Steve, Jill and Arthur happily lived ever after, Mo, Ahmad and Fatima suffered for the rest of their lives. Ha!
To answer your title. NO
You should research how madden blades are designed to be raised to the bottom of the gullet and not 1/8” above the wood. Don’t buy these low cost blades. My Popular Tool blades or Amana or made to order cermet blades from Carbide Processors plus several other manufacturers are sharper and stay sharper. The company you’re recommending has become more of a basic consumer blade and not for the real user of the tool. Everyone should keep their blades clean.
