Product Description

10" x 24T Thin Kerf Rip Blade

Amazon.com

The 10-inch Freud LU87R010 Thin Kerf Rip Saw Blade makes quick work of ripping operations in hard- and softwood. It features 24 flat, oversized teeth with thick TiCo high-density carbide tips designed to last, in addition to Freud's Perma-SHIELD coating, which reduces friction to prevent heat buildup. Plus, since it's a thin-kerf blade, it wastes less material and continues to cut cleanly when used with underpowered saws.

Large-Tooth, Thin-Kerf Blade Ideal for Low-Horsepower Saws
This rip saw blade is ideally suited to ripping hard- and softwoods, and it also delivers strong results when crosscutting wood or working with plywood. Ideal for working with materials that are 3/4 to 2-3/4 inches thick, the blade can also handle thinner or thicker materials, and it can be used to cut chipboard or laminates. 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 0.094 kerf.

In addition to offering faster cuts through tough materials, its large tooth design allows the blade to be safely sharpened more times, prolonging the life of the blade and saving you money. Plus the large gullets between these teeth ensure easy chip removal.

Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design
This Freud blade is pretensioned for truer cuts under heavy loads. It also features an anti-vibration design that reduces chatter for a cleaner finish, longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because the blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after prolonged use.

High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance
This thin-kerf rip saw blade's 24 teeth are finished with tips made from an application-specific TiCo high-density carbide "ripping blend" that offers improved density, hardness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance.

Ideal for the demands of ripping large quantities of thick, hard wood, this carbide blend includes extra cobalt for increased impact resistance. Plus, it delivers increased sharpness and edge retention, which means the blade will hold up longer--saving you 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.

I have purchased this blade in the past because of the quality and nothing has changed. Very good blade at a reasonable price.

I got this blade to upgrade my ancient Craftsman 8" table saw. The ripping blades I got with it really caused the saw to struggle. I've only used the new blade to rip 4 short pieces of 1x3, but the cut was very clean and it was like cutting through butter compared to the old blades. The combination of carbide cutters and thin kerf really help to get more out of this saw. Highly recommend.

pairs perfectly with my Festool saw. Its thin kerf design makes ripping through hardwood and softwood incredibly smooth and efficient, minimizing material waste. The Perma-Shield coating is a standout feature—it reduces friction, prevents gumming, and keeps the blade cooler during extended use.What impressed me most is how clean and precise the cuts are, with minimal splintering. It's especially noticeable on high-end materials where precision is critical. The blade also stays sharp for a long time, making it a great value. If you’re using a Festool saw and need a reliable rip blade, this is a top-notch choice!

Nice clean cuts. I also have the Freud regular kerf rip blade. Both a nice blades but the thin kerf blade is my favorite. The saw doesn't work as hard and it removes a little less material. Overall, this is my fourth Freud blade. I've been happy with all of them. Don't break the bank to buy but are well made with solid performance and have held up well.

I decided to put this 9" ripping blade with 22 teeth, on my Dewalt radial arm saw. So far, I can't see a need to purchase any other blade. The reduced motor drag, and the decreased sawdust from the larger teeth, are reason enough to use a ripping blade.I got the idea from "BigMikeTuna." He said in his famous radial arm saw video, showing his 1978 Craftsman radial arm saw, that he only uses this Freud 10" thin kerf "ripping blade" for all his fine furniture building, including precision crosscuts on critical hardwoods in furniture--he says he never uses any other blade, and doesn't own a table saw due to table saws being the most dangerous tool ever made. He goes into detail about why they are so dangerous in his radial arm saw video.If you have a table saw, just throw it away; there are 7.... horrific accidents per day on table saws in the USA--go and read the statistics and stories before you use it again. That is 7 "horrific" stories every single day, not including the hundreds of minor accidents each day on the table saw, in the United States alone... I don't like to use negative words that create negative thoughts, so I'm being vague on purpose. But please look up the statistics.Table saws are run with no guard on them, as a standard practice, and most of the old cast iron saws have no riving knife, which is a recipe for a ruinous accident. If you are going to use a table saw, at least get one with a riving knife, and don't even think about using your old style "non riving knife" contractor saw anymore.I use this blade for all my cuts. Radial arm saws are far better at ripping boards than crosscutting, because their bearings, and carriage are locked during a rip cut, so you get 100% accuracy, with zero slop in the bearings due to entire carriage being tightly locked into a fixed position during a rip cut.And, nobody happened to notice, but a radial arm saw has about a 99% dust collection efficiency during a rip cut, better than any other power tool, without any modifications to the guard, due tot he inherent location of the guard over the blade.But in a crosscut, a radial arm saw blade guard does almost nothing, it provides only partial protection to the user. And, stupidly, the guard cannot actually be used for dust collection on a crosscut. You can only collect dust on a radial arm saw by doing a rip cut, but most people don't realize this. In my opinion after owning 10 radial arm saws, and 2 table saws, a radial arm saw is much safer for rip cuts than crosscuts--the exact opposite of the common rumors about them.The blade guard covers 98% of the blade during a rip cut, and the carriage is locked so it cannot move, which makes it a lot safer than a table saw being run with no guard.As BigMikeTuna explains in his famous video, a radial arm saw cannot do a violent ejection of a board either, because the blade is set down into the cutting deck, so the outside periphery of the teeth cannot launch a board up into the air--also the blade guard prevents this from being possible, due to the blade guard blocking most of the blade. Again, table saws are run without any blade guard, as a standard practice. Radial arm saws are never operated without the guard, because the guard is not obtrusive.Back to this blade:I want to buy a 2nd one of these blades, but the cost is actually unreasonable, considering that you can get a budget blade for $14. It doesn't make sense why these are $55 or $60. Out of principle, I have held off on buying a 2nd blade, even though I do need another one. They need to bring these thin kerf blades down to about $38.

What an impressive blade. Does the job very well. Right now I have only used pine but I am sure it would do the same job with fir and harder wood.

El disco corta muy bien, su diseño disminuye considerablemente el ruido, el hecho de ser de espesor delgado hace que los cortes sean mas finos y suaves, yo lo uso para cortes transversales y longitudinales.

I opened the package and was excited to see my nice new blade, until...I noticed a tooth had come off in shipping. Sort of no surprise since the protective cardboard package the blade comes was only put in a bubble wrap envelope. This flew a long way up to me here in the Canadian Arctic so I would have expected a bit better packaging. Really disappointed cause it looks like a gorgeous blade. It says thin kerf, but it has the same thickness as a festool blade, and nice big carbides. I’m gonna give it a go even missing a tooth, because for me to return the item to Amazon for a replacement is half the cost (or the same) of a new one. It has to fly back down South 3000 km.[UPDATE- ONE MONTH LATER]This blade is gorgeous, even missing a tooth! I have used it ripping 6/4 maple, no burning. Even used it to rip and cross cut 3/4” Baltic ply and it performs as well as my 48 tooth festool blade. All of this while using it in my old 1930s tilt-top Delta table saw with a 1/2 hp motor- I can only imagine what this bad boy would do in a 3 hp cabinet saw. It even cuts with a lower pitched growl than most other blades. Get it and don’t look back!

As another reviewer mentioned, the Jet blade that came with the saw was not cutting it, as it was burning everything and putting horrible saw marks on every cut. I purchased this blade as a replacement and couldn't be happier. I've owned 2 of these blades and they transformed my "underpowered" saw (Jet Contractor) into a cutting machine. Unfortunately, the 1st blade found a piece of metal in some plywood and required replacement - no fault of the blade.I'm usually working with 4/4-5/4 red oak and it never misses a beat. The thin kerf design really does make a difference with these "underpowered" saws. Even though you would expect more deflection/chatter because it's thinner, it does produce a very clean edge. The only gripe I have is that I cannot find this blade locally. I was forced to try the Freud Diablo D1024x and I was VERY dissapointed. See my review of the D1024x for more on that blade.
