14 in. Glue-Line Rip Saw Blade, 36T

Description

Full-width ripping of wide hardwood slabs on large-format saws requires a blade that matches both the diameter and the surface quality requirements. This 14 in. glue-line rip blade with 36 teeth on a 1 in. bore delivers rip faces that go straight from the saw to the glue joint without an intermediate jointing step. Glue-line rip blade geometry produces consistent surface quality on the sawn face — the tooth form and tooth count work together to leave a flat, smooth rip face rather than the torn or irregular surface that a standard rip blade produces at comparable feed rates. At 36 teeth on 14 in., chip clearance is maintained in heavy ripping through thick hardwood without sacrificing the consistent surface finish that makes direct gluing practical. Carbide tips are ground to maintain cutting geometry through production rip cycles in domestic hardwoods and wide solid wood panel stock. The 1 in. bore is standard on large-format rip saws and sliding table saws in this class. For large furniture operations and lumber processing shops where jointing between ripping and gluing adds cost and time per board, a 14 in. glue-line blade eliminates the intermediate step.
