Freud LU73M016 16" Cabinetmaker’s Crosscut Blade is built for serious crosscut work in professional shops. The combination of a 10° hook angle and an alternating top bevel (ATB) tooth grind delivers precise, clean cuts across a range of materials while resisting wear in demanding cabinetmaking tasks.

Designed specifically for cabinetmakers, this blade excels when cutting thick stock from 1/2" up to 2-3/4" and across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and chipboard. The 16" diameter gives you extended reach and productive cut lengths, helping you complete panels, doors, and frames faster with less rework.

• 10° hook angle provides efficient entry and smooth cutting through dense stock, reducing burrs and tear-out on the cut face.
• Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind minimizes chipping along the cut edge and yields a crisp, finished surface on varied materials.
• Specially engineered for cabinet components: panels, rails, stiles, doors, face frames, and large crosscuts.
• Durable carbide teeth deliver long blade life in mixed shop material streams, from hardwoods to chipboard.
• Compatibility with typical 16" cabinet saws and miter saws makes it a versatile centerpiece in a shop lineup.

Whether you’re finishing a batch of cabinet doors or slicing large panels for a built-in unit, the LU73M016 helps you achieve consistent, accurate results that stand up to scrutiny—without the frequent blade changes or compromised edge quality.

Ideal for: professional cabinet shops, woodshops doing production runs, and serious hobbyists who demand enterprise-grade crosscuts with clean edges and reliable blade life.
