Review on πŸ”ͺ Freud 10" x 24T Thin Kerf Rip Blade (LU87R010): The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Cutting Solution by Tyler Suarez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Flawless saw blade edges, parts and accessories

This blade lives up to its name. I used it to pick some 6/4 ash to use as a countertop. While there are tougher woods, ash is tough enough to put a new blade to the test. For reference, this is what MLB bats are made of. As long as your fence is well aligned, the blade will make that nice singing sound when it breaks. It doesn't matter at all. No sign of fumes or smoke. No chips. Simply perfectly smooth and even edges. In my two photos you can see how the seam between the boards almost disappears. The other picture shows a strip I tore off that is less than 1/32 inch. So yes, this blade can be used for veneer. While you can get some pretty decent "hobby" blades at big stores, spend your money on this "industrial" one. You will notice the difference. Can't speak to its durability, but as long as it's not subjected to severe side loads that can burn teeth, and it cleans as it collects juice, I think it'll last quite a while.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Almost OK
