About Freud LM71M012: 12" X 20T Thick Stock Rip Blade

Amazon.com Designed for serious woodworkers, the 12-inch Freud LM71M012 Thick Stock Industrial Rip Saw Blade makes quick work of high-speed ripping operations in hard- and softwood. It features 20 flat, oversized teeth with thick TiCo high-density carbide tips designed to last, and Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists gumming. Industrial-Strength Blade Cuts Glue Line Joints in Thick Stock Quick and accurate, this Freud LM71M012 rip saw blade cuts glue line joints in hard- or softwood, as well as other high-speed ripping applications. Ideal for working with materials that are 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 inches thick, it can be used in manual feeding situations or with power feeders, and it can handle both single- and gang-rip operations. It has a 1-inch arbor and produces a 0.165 kerf. In addition to offering faster cuts through thick 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 the 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 thick-stock rip saw blade's 20 teeth are finished with tips made from an application-specific TiCo high-density carbide that offers improved 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. In addition, it delivers increased sharpness and edge retention, which means the blade will hold up longer--saving you money. Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion, Heat, and Resin Buildup This blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your work surface and preventing the blade from warping, and it helps prevent resin or "pitch" buildup. Since gummy pitch buildup causes extra drag on the motor of your saw, less buildup means 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.
