Description
A glue-line rip blade does one thing standard rip blades do not — it leaves a rip face smooth enough to go straight to the glue joint without a jointing step. This 10 in., 30-tooth TCG rip blade on a 5/8 in. bore produces that quality of cut face in hardwood and solid wood panels. Triple chip grind geometry delivers the flat-bottomed kerf and consistent surface finish that makes direct gluing practical: the flat trapper tooth establishes the bottom of the kerf while the chamfered raker clears the chip cleanly without leaving the fiber-tearing roughness of a standard rip tooth. At 30 teeth, the blade maintains adequate gullet volume for chip clearance during full-depth rip cuts in hardwood at production feed rates. A laser-cut low noise plate controls vibration that would otherwise introduce micro-irregularities into the cut face — plate stability is especially important for glue-line cutting where surface consistency determines joint strength. The 5/8 in. bore fits standard 10 in. saw arbors. For edge-gluing operations where jointing after ripping is a workflow bottleneck, this blade eliminates the step.
