Freud Thick Stock Rip Blades: Series LM71M

Thank you for shopping with us!

Application: For Glue Line Joints in Thick Stock (1 1/2" - 3 1/2" )

This highly aggressive general purpose blade is ideal for a production environment. With its low number of teeth and steep hook angle, this blade can operate at high feed rates. These features also make it the blade of choice when crosscutting extremely thick stock.

Use it with dimension stock where speed is more important than surface quality. The ideal working range is from 1/4" to 1-1/4" thick for ripping and 1-1/2" to 3-1/2" thick for crosscutting. Thicker or thinner material may be cut, but some loss of surface finish may occur.

Premium TiCo™ HI-Density Carbide General Purpose Blend for Maximum Performance. Heavy-Duty Thick Kerf and Plate ensure a stable, flat blade for long cutting life. Positive Hook Angles for fast cutting and easy feed. Silver Ice Coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up.

Ideal For: Fast, Thick Stock Cutting Crosscuts (1-1/2" to 3-1/2" ) & Rips (1/4" to1-1/4" ).

Tip: When ripping wood, 3 to 5 teeth at a time should be working in the wood.
