Freud LM71M012: 12 Thick Stock Rip Blade

The 12" Thick Stock Rip Blade by Freud, model LM71M012, is specifically designed for professional woodworkers who need to perform high-speed ripping operations on both hard and softwoods. This industrial-grade saw blade features 20 flat, oversized teeth with thick TiCo high-density carbide tips that are built to last. The blade also boasts Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists gumming.

One of the key benefits of this blade is its large-tooth design, which not only allows for faster cuts through thick materials but also enables the blade to be safely sharpened multiple times. This helps to prolong the life of the blade and ultimately save you money in the long run. Additionally, the large gullets between the teeth make for easy chip removal during cutting.

In terms of design, the Freud LM71M012 blade is well-balanced and features an anti-vibration design that reduces chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while in use. The blade is also laser cut from high-strength steel, ensuring stability, flatness, and accuracy even after prolonged use.

The 20 teeth on this thick-stock rip blade are finished with TiCo high-density carbide tips that offer maximum cutting performance. This carbide blend includes extra cobalt for increased impact resistance, sharpness, and edge retention, making it ideal for demanding tasks like ripping large quantities of thick, hard wood.

Thanks to Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, this blade is resistant to corrosion, heat buildup, and resin buildup, ensuring improved performance and longevity. Less resin buildup also means less drag on the saw's motor, resulting in longer tool and blade life, as well as less downtime for cleaning.

With a limited lifetime warranty, Freud is a trusted brand in the woodworking industry, known for its innovative manufacturing techniques. The LM71M012 blade is part of Freud's line of high-quality woodworking tools, which also includes saw blades, router bits, shaper cutters, power tools, and more.
