Freud LU87R010: 10 Thin Kerf Rip Blade

The 10-inch Freud LU87R010 Thin Kerf Rip Saw Blade is designed to tackle ripping operations in both hard- and softwood with ease. Featuring 24 flat, oversized teeth with thick TiCo high-density carbide tips, this blade is built to last. Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating further enhances its performance by reducing friction and preventing heat buildup.

One of the key advantages of this thin-kerf blade is that it wastes less material, allowing it to continue cutting cleanly even when used with underpowered saws. The large tooth design also enables the blade to be safely sharpened multiple times, prolonging its lifespan and saving you money in the long run. Additionally, the large gullets between the teeth ensure effortless chip removal.

To ensure a well-balanced and vibration-free performance, this Freud blade is pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. Its anti-vibration design reduces chatter, resulting in a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise during operation.

The TiCo high-density carbide "ripping blend" used on the 24 teeth provides improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. This application-specific blend, which includes extra cobalt for increased impact resistance, delivers enhanced sharpness and edge retention, allowing the blade to maintain its cutting edge for longer.

Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating further enhances the blade's durability and performance. This non-stick coating reduces friction and eliminates the heat buildup that can be caused by excess friction. By providing complete thermal insulation, the coating protects your tools and work surface, and it also helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup, which can cause extra drag on the motor of your saw.

As a lubricating feature, the Perma-SHIELD coating allows the blade to spin freely, reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. This translates into longer tool life and longer blade life, as well as less downtime for blade cleaning, allowing you to complete your projects more efficiently.

The Freud LU87R010 Thin Kerf Rip Saw Blade is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring your investment is well-protected. Freud, an industry leader for over 50 years, is known for its innovative manufacturing processes and the production of its own high-quality MicroGrain Carbide with Titanium, called TiCo, which is used in this exceptional saw blade.
