The Freud LU87R010 10-Inch Thin Kerf Ripping Blade is best-in-class for high-efficiency ripping in the Blades Cutting Tools space thanks to its engineered thin kerf that reduces material waste, lowers motor load and delivers fast, clean rip cuts on table and circular saws. Technically superior for dedicated ripping compared with DEWALT's combo-value approach and Diablo's general-purpose offering, the Freud blade trades a higher upfront price for improved feed speed, less tear-out and long-term material savings on production ripping work.
