Freud LU87R010 10" Thin Kerf Rip Blade is engineered to breathe new life into underpowered table saws and radial arm saws. Its ultra-narrow kerf minimizes horsepower demand, so you get more cutting power without bogging the motor down.

The secret is the thin kerf design paired with Freud's Perma-SHIELD™ coating. This combination helps the blade pull 1/3 less on the saw, translating into over 33% more available cutting power when you feed stock through the blade. That means faster, more decisive ripping with less strain on the saw you already own.

Key features and benefits:

• Thin kerf for low-horsepower performance: Designed to cut efficiently on underpowered table saws and radial arm saws, reducing drag and stalling.
• Perma-SHIELD™ coating: A durable coating that minimizes buildup and friction, helping you maintain consistent performance cut after cut. It specifically reduces the load on the saw by about one-third, giving you more effective cutting power.
• Optimal working range: Ideal for stock thickness from 3/4" to 2-3/4" to handle common ripping tasks with confidence.
• Versatile 10" capacity: A standard size that fits most hobbyist and small-shop setups while delivering professional-grade rip performance.

Who should consider this blade? Woodworkers upgrading older, less powerful saws, hobbyists tackling thick stock, or anyone who wants to maximize a 10" saw's ripping productivity without upgrading equipment. With the Freud LU87R010, you can approach rips more smoothly and maintain momentum on long cuts—without forcing your saw to work harder than it needs to.
