Freud LU87R010 10-Inch Thin Kerf Rip Blade – 24 TiCo Teeth, Perma-SHIELD Coating

Powerful, precise ripping for underpowered saws

The Freud LU87R010 10-inch thin kerf rip blade is engineered to deliver fast, clean cuts in both hard and soft woods. Its ultra-thin kerf minimizes material waste and reduces the horsepower required to feed stock, making it a practical choice for lower-powered table and radial arm saws. Imagine smoother starts, less resistance, and steadier progress as you push through your next project.

Key features that matter in the shop

• Thin kerf (.094") and 24-tooth TiCo Hi-Density Carbide ripping blend for efficient cutting and longer edge life
• Perma-SHIELD coating lowers friction, limits heat buildup, and helps resist pitch and resin
• Pretensioned, anti-vibration design reduces chatter for truer cuts and less noise
• Large gullets improve chip clearance during heavy ripping and high-volume cuts
• 5/8" arbor fits standard saws and keeps the blade stable on demanding jobs

Real-world performance and best use cases

Designed to handle ripping of both hardwood and softwood, it also performs well on plywood and laminates. The blade is suited for stock ranging from 3/4" to about 2-3/4" thick, with surface finish variation possible outside that ideal range. The combination of a thin kerf and a robust TiCo carbide blend supports faster feed rates and cleaner edges, especially when the saw must bite through dense material.

Durability, maintenance, and warranty

Crafted from a laser-cut steel body and finished with Freud’s Perma-SHIELD coating, this blade stays flat under load and resists binding during high-volume cutting. The large-teeth design allows for multiple sharpening events, extending blade life. Freud backs this industrial blade with a limited lifetime warranty.
