Freud LM74R010: 10" Industrial Glue Line Ripping Blade

Amazon.com Designed for serious woodworkers, the 10-inch Freud LM74R010 Glue Line Rip Saw Blade features Freud's red, non-stick Perma-SHIELD coating for friction reduction and improved durability. It pairs this coating with a heavy-duty body and 30 triple-chip teeth featuring TiCo high-density carbide tips. This combination delivers cuts that are quick, smooth, and precise, making the blade ideal for detail work. LM74R010 Glue Line Rip Saw Blade with Perma-SHIELDAt a Glance: Ideal for smooth cuts in materials that are 1/8 to 1 inch thick Heavy-duty plate with laser-cut, anti-vibration slots Tough Perma-Shield coating reduces friction and heat buildupTechnical Specs:CoatingPerma-SHIELDDiameter10"Teeth30 FLATArbor5/8"Kerf (K).118Plate (P).098Depth of Cut Heavy-Duty Thick Kerf and Plate ensure a stable, flat blade for long cutting lifeLaser-Cut Anti-Vibration Slots drastically reduce vibration and sideways movement in the cut extending blade life, and giving a crisp, swirl-free flawless finishTriple-Chip Tooth Design for Quick, Clean Finish Work This blade's triple-chip teeth leave a finish that's true, extra smooth, and chip-free--even when you're working with brittle materials. This eliminates the need for sanding and jointing and saves you time, making the glue line rip saw blade an ideal match for gluing and finish work. Designed for optimal performance, this blade cuts materials that are 1/8 to 1 inch thick, including hard- and softwood. This versatile blade handles crosscuts with chipboard, plywood, or laminate, and can tackle thinner or thicker materials. However, some loss of surface finish may occur when it is used outside its ideal range. It has a 5/8-inch arbor and produces a 0.118 kerf. Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design This Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut, anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use. Furthermore, this well-balanced, anti-vibration design means there's no need to use add-on stabilizers with this blade. High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance This glue line rip saw blade's 30 teeth are finished with tips made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "ripping blend." This blend offers a mix of improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance that's ideally matched to the demands of ripping large quantities of soft or hard wood. With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will hold up longer--once again, saving you time and money. Perma-SHIELD Coating Reduces Friction and Heat Buildup Built to withstand tough use in less-than-ideal conditions, this blade is finished with Freud's red Perma-SHIELD--a non-stick coating that reduces friction and nearly eliminates the heat buildup that excess friction can cause. By providing complete thermal insulation, this coating protects your tools and your work surface. And it resists binding when the blade is used for large-volume cutting applications, which reduces blade warp. As a lubricating feature, Perma-SHIELD allows the blade to spin freely while reducing stress on the motor and carriage of your saw. In addition, this coating helps prevent debris collection and resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup is another little convenience that translates into longer tool life and longer blade life. It also means less downtime for blade cleaning, so you get jobs done faster. This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
