Freud LU71M014 is a 14-inch, high-production general-purpose blade engineered for shops where speed and throughput matter as much as precision. Its purpose-built geometry—low tooth count paired with a steep hook angle—delivers aggressive material removal, making it the blade of choice when you need to push stock through a saw fast.

This blade excels in production environments where quick turnaround is key. The streamlined tooth design bites into stock with minimal resistance, enabling high feed rates and dependable performance across a range of thick materials. When you’re crosscutting extremely thick stock, LU71M014 maintains momentum, reducing cycle times without sacrificing the overall reliability you rely on in a busy shop.

• : ideal for dimension stock where speed beats finish quality, with an optimized geometry that reduces bogging down during aggressive passes.
• Crosscut capability for thick stock: designed to handle substantial crosscuts without stalling, making it versatile for thick boards and dimensional lumber.
• Production-grade reliability: built for continuous use in high-demand settings, delivering consistent cuts over many cycles.

Working ranges

• Ripping: 1/4" to 1-1/4" thick
• Crosscutting: 1-1/2" to 3-1/2" thick

Note: While thicker or thinner material can be cut with this blade, you may experience some reduction in surface finish when operating outside the ideal ranges. This blade prioritizes speed and productivity, so plan for downstream finishing if your application requires a pristine surface.

Who will typically benefit from the Freud LU71M014? woodshops and fabrication facilities that run long production runs, job shops handling thick stock, and any operation where maximizing feed rate and throughput is essential. If you’re balancing speed with occasional rougher surfaces, this blade offers a practical, reliable solution that helps you hit tighter deadlines without compromising overall tool life.
