Freud America LM72R010: 10 Heavy-Duty Rip Blade

The 10-inch Freud LM72R010 Heavy-Duty Rip Saw Blade is designed for serious woodworkers, featuring an ultra-tough Perma-SHIELD coating that reduces heat and friction, delivering smooth, fast cuts through hard- and softwood. With a rigid blade body and 24 oversized, flat-top teeth with TiCo high-density carbide tips, this is a dependable, long-lasting blade that requires no stabilizers due to its well-balanced, anti-vibration design.

The extra-large, flat teeth on this blade leave a smooth, splinter-free finish that eliminates the need for sanding and jointing, while the large gullets between the teeth ensure easy chip removal. Precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads, the blade also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise.

Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "ripping blend" offers a mix of improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance, ideal for the demands of ripping large quantities of thick, hard wood. The blade's teeth start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, allowing it to go longer between sharpening and hold up longer, saving time and money.

The Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating reduces friction and nearly eliminates the heat buildup that excess friction can cause, protecting tools and work surfaces. It also resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications, reducing blade warp. As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of the saw, and helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup, extending tool and blade life.

This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty and is a testament to the company's history of innovative manufacturing. As one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools that produces its own high-density carbide with titanium, Freud has the unique ability to formulate each tool for each specific application, maximizing cutting life and performance.
