Freud SC-001 3-1/2-Inch Blade Stabilizer with 5/8-Inch Arbor for 7-Inch Saws or Larger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first got my Freud stabilizers I used them on both sides of my blade, and my cuts improved. Then I read an article by the owner of a prominent U.S. saw blade manufacturing firm. In this article, the author recommends using a stabilizer on only the outside of your blade (the side with the nut). I made this change, and my cuts improved even more. I highly recommend the Freud stabilizer. It is very solid, and very nicely machined. It has more mass than other stabilizers on the market. I suspect that this helps increase both the flywheel effect and the gyroscopic effect over the thinner, lighter stabilizers. Just be sure to get rid of all sawdust on your saw arbor, your blade, and the stabilizers -- or stabilizer if you use only one -- before mounting your blade. This will help ensure the least possible run-out and the smoothest cuts. Experiment a little like I did to find the best number of stabilizers to use with each blade, but do use a stabilizer. You will get less vibration, and therefore smoother cuts.

About this Blade Stabilizer
When making a high precision cut, any amount of rim vibration can mean the difference between a masterpiece and scrap. This Freud saw blade stabilizer is precision machined and balanced to give an added amount of stability, which not only improves the cut, but also makes the saw cut quieter -- and extends its cutting life between sharpenings. This stabilizer can be used on blades with a 7-inch diameter and larger, with a 5/8-inch arbor. Stabilizers should only be used on stationary saws and should never be used on hand held portable saws. A saw blade is not included with this stabilizer.
Applications
Use this stabilizer to minimize rim vibration and improve the cut of your stationary saw. It also makes the saw cut quieter, and prolongs the saw blade's life between sharpenings.
