Freud has added a thin-kerf Premier Fusion saw blade designed to enhance the performance of underpowered saws - such as portable and contractor table saws - while saving on material waste.

The company has also introduced two large-diameter Super Dados (10” and 12”) for cuts in melamine and veneer plywood. The new dado sets feature negative hook angles, four wing chippers and an additional 3/32” chipper for fast setups on undersized plywood. Freud offers the new 7-1/4” think-kerf Ultimate plywood and melamine blade for portable saws. Contact: Freud. Tel: 800-472-7307. www.freudtools.com
