Description
Ripping wide hardwood stock on 14 in. large-format saws requires a blade with the diameter and tooth configuration to move material efficiently. This 24-tooth STG rip blade on a 1 in. bore handles those cuts. Straight top grind geometry excels in the long-grain direction — the chisel-action tooth tip takes clean bites across the full kerf width without side-loading the kerf walls or causing the burning that occurs when a rip blade runs out of chip clearance in heavy stock. At 24 teeth on 14 in., gullet depth is generous for the chip volume generated by full-depth ripping in wide, dense hardwood at production feed rates. The larger 14 in. diameter handles thicker material and wider boards than 10 or 12 in. blades while maintaining the speed and efficiency of a dedicated rip blade at production table saw RPMs. The 1 in. bore fits large-format North American and European saws in this class. Carbide tips are brazed to STG geometry and maintain rip efficiency through extended production runs in solid hardwood, wide furniture stock, and dimensional lumber.
