Maximize Power and Efficiency with Precision Ripping
Breathe new life into your underpowered table saw or radial arm saw with the Freud LU87R012 12-Inch Thin Kerf Rip Blade. Specifically engineered to reduce the strain on your machine, the thin kerf design removes less material than standard blades, requiring significantly less horsepower to drive through dense stock. This efficiency, combined with Freud's friction-reducing Perma-SHIELD™ coating, allows the blade to pull one-third less on the saw. The result is a dramatic boost in effective cutting power—over 33%—allowing you to rip through hardwoods and softwoods with a faster feed rate and less waste.
Built for heavy-duty performance, this blade features Freud’s proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide Ripping Blend, ensuring the teeth stay razor-sharp even after prolonged use in thick stock ranging from 3/4" to 2-3/4". The aggressive 20-degree positive hook angle and Flat Top Grind (FTG) tooth geometry work in tandem to deliver fast, effortless cuts that are square and true. Whether you are processing rough lumber or sizing panels, the LU87R012 offers the durability and precision needed for a glue-line ready edge straight off the saw.
Key Features
- Thin Kerf Geometry: Reduces drag and material waste, making it ideal for saws with less horsepower (under 3 HP).
- TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized ripping blend carbide maximizes edge retention and cutting life.
- Perma-SHIELD™ Coating: Non-stick aluminum alloy coating prevents heat buildup, gumming, corrosion, and reduces friction.
- Positive Hook Angle (20°): Aggressive angle allows for fast cutting speeds and easy feeding through thick material.
- Flat Top Grind (FTG): Square tooth design creates a flat-bottomed cut, excellent for efficient chip removal and joinery.
- Versatile Capacity: Optimized for ripping heavy-duty stock with a thickness between 3/4" and 2-3/4".
