Tools and Hardware Reviews of Freud FI102 Replacement 4-Inch 8 Tooth Blade For Freud And Other Biscuit Joiners
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
My Porter Cable 557 biscuit joiner was still sporting the original OEM blade from the late '90's, and when in use it was tough to plunge into the wood and always burnt the edges. It was well past time.
I bought this blade purely on Freud's name. Most of my table saw blades are Freuds and I'm familiar with how they handle grinding their teeth.
The FL102B that showed up was a marvel right out of the box. The carbide teeth are nearly twice the mass of the OEM blade, and they're face, top and side ground in a very similar manner as their table saw blades.
However, the installation onto the PC 557 required a few minutes' modification of the tool, itself. The body of the Freud blade is about 128" thinner than the body of the OEM blade. When the retaining flange and screw were installed and snugged the blade still spun freely.
I had to get out a Dremel with a stone burr and grind down the top face of the spindle by that 128th of an inch (about as much as the thickness of a human hair - so it's no big deal - honest!) in order to make the blade body sit ever so slightly prouder than the spindle. That required mod took about two minutes. I was then able to get the blade to sit tightly when the flange/screw were reinstalled.
In use - this thing cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter. Freud really knows what they're doing with their tooth grinds. I tested in several wood species and several man-made products and this thing plunged very easily and left clean slots.
WELL worth the money to make an easier life with your plate joiner. Just have a calipers handy to compare your OEM blade's body thickness as compared to the Freud's body thickness to ensure a happy life.
I'd make this purchase again in a heartbeat.
