I'm finding this blade tough to beat for the price.  Crosscuts are easily as clean as my Forrest's at about half the price, and it rips better than other crosscut blades I've used.  In fairness, my Forrest rips thick material better.  The LU88 has large teeth, Frued's best carbide, anti-vibration slots, and teflon coating.  Great for crosscutting and general purpose use on a TS, but I wouldn't recommend it for a CMS or RAS because of the aggressive hook angle.
