Freud 10 Thin Kerf Rip Blade

The Freud LU87R010 Thin Kerf Rip Saw Blade is a 10-inch blade with 24 flat, oversized teeth designed for quick and efficient ripping operations in both hard and softwoods. The thick TiCo high-density carbide tips on the teeth are built to last, and the blade is coated with Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating to reduce friction and prevent heat buildup. The thin-kerf design allows for minimal material waste and clean cuts, especially when used with less powerful saws.

The large teeth of this blade can be sharpened multiple times for extended blade life, saving you money in the long run. The gullets between the teeth ensure easy chip removal, maintaining a smooth cutting operation. The blade is also pretensioned for accurate cuts under heavy loads and features an anti-vibration design that reduces chatter, providing a cleaner finish, extended blade life, and reduced noise levels during use.

Crafted from high-strength steel, the blade is laser cut to stay stable, flat, and true even with prolonged use. The 24 teeth are finished with a TiCo high-density carbide ripping blend that offers improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance for maximum cutting performance. This blend includes extra cobalt for increased impact resistance, sharpness, and edge retention.

The Perma-SHIELD coating on the blade reduces friction and heat buildup, protecting the blade from wear and your work surface from damage. It allows for smooth spinning of the blade, reducing stress on the motor and carriage of the saw. The coating also prevents debris collection and resin buildup, reducing drag on the motor and extending the life of the blade.

This industrial saw blade is covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty and is part of their history of innovative manufacturing in the woodworking industry. The Freud LU87R010 Thin Kerf Rip Saw Blade is designed for heavy-duty ripping on saws under 3 HP and includes features such as Tico Hi-Density Carbide, Non-Stick Perma-Shield Coating, Laser cut anti-vibration slots, Anti-kickback design, and Tri-Metal brazing for optimal performance.
