10 in. Rip Saw Blade, 24T STG, Low Noise

Description

Ripping hardwood and solid lumber at production rates calls for a blade designed to maximize chip clearance and minimize drag in long-grain cuts. This 10 in. rip blade with 24 straight top grind teeth on a 5/8 in. bore is built for exactly that. STG geometry positions each tooth tip flat across the top rather than at an angle, producing a chisel-like cutting action that excels at long-grain material removal — the tooth scribes a clean flat-bottomed kerf in solid wood without the side-pressure that angled grind teeth create during ripping. At 24 teeth, gullet depth is generous enough to clear the large chip volume produced by full-depth ripping in hardwood without the blade loading up at production feed rates. Low noise plate construction dampens vibration that builds up during sustained rip cuts in heavy stock. The 5/8 in. bore fits standard 10 in. cabinet saw and contractor saw arbors. Carbide tips are brazed and ground to STG geometry to maintain rip efficiency through production runs in oak, maple, hickory, and other domestic hardwoods.
