Thick Stock Rip Blade\u003c\/strong\u003e is a heavy-duty circular saw blade made for industrial-style ripping on table saw setups. This is a \u003cstrong\u003erip blade designed for high-speed ripping in thick hardwood and softwood stock\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eLM71M014\u003c\/strong\u003e. If your work is mostly straight-line ripping and you care more about feed speed, chip removal, and staying stable in thicker material than you do about polished crosscut finish, this is the right kind of blade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreud built this blade around a low 24-tooth count with a flat grind tooth pattern and a 20 degree hook angle. On the job, that combination means the blade wants to pull material through the cut efficiently, clear waste fast, and keep up in production ripping. That is why it is aimed at thick stock and lineal joint work instead of finish crosscutting. Freud also calls out an ideal working range of \u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/2 inches to 3-1\/2 inches thick\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives you a very clear window for where this blade does its best work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe heavy-duty build is one of the main reasons this blade matters. With a \u003cstrong\u003e.165 inch kerf\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e.118 inch plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is thicker and more rigid than a general-purpose blade. That extra mass helps the blade stay flatter under load, especially in demanding ripping conditions where thinner plates can wander, heat up, or leave a rougher edge. If you are feeding hardwood or running long rip cuts repeatedly, rigidity is not just a spec on paper. It is what helps you get a straighter cut and more predictable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreud also uses its \u003cstrong\u003eTiCo Hi-Density Carbide Ripping Blend\u003c\/strong\u003e here, which is aimed at long cutting life and sustained performance in wood. For the user, that means the cutting edges are built for repeated ripping duty rather than occasional mixed-use cuts. The blade also has \u003cstrong\u003elarge gullets\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that matters because thick-stock ripping generates a lot of chips fast. More room between teeth helps evacuate that waste so the blade cuts cleaner and carries less heat through the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor jobsite and shop practicality, the blade includes \u003cstrong\u003eSilver Ice Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e to resist corrosion and pitch buildup. That is a useful feature on a blade that may spend a lot of time cutting resinous softwood or sit in a shop between production runs. Less pitch on the blade helps maintain smoother cutting and reduces the drag that can build up over time. The blade image also shows an \u003cstrong\u003eanti-vibration design\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum speed of 5,000 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e, both of which matter when this blade is used in serious ripping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn terms of fit, this is a \u003cstrong\u003e14 inch saw blade with a 1 inch arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it is intended for equipment set up to accept that blade size and arbor configuration. Freud specifically notes that it can be used with \u003cstrong\u003emanual feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as \u003cstrong\u003epower feeders\u003c\/strong\u003e in single or gang-ripping operations. That makes it a good match for professional woodworking shops, cabinet and millwork operations, and anyone processing thick hardwood or softwood stock in volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJust as important is what this blade is not for. Freud lists \u003cstrong\u003ecrosscuts in wood, laminate, and non-ferrous materials as not recommended\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is useful buying info because it tells you this is a purpose-built ripping blade, not a do-everything blade. If your priority is smooth finish crosscuts or sheet-good versatility, look elsewhere. If your priority is fast, stable ripping in thick material, this blade is right in its lane.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Shops and pros doing repeated ripping in thick hardwood and softwood will get the most out of it. If you are running a table saw in production, cutting lineal joints, or pushing dense stock where chip clearance and blade stability matter, this blade makes sense. For casual weekend use or mixed cutting tasks, it is probably more specialized than you need. For dedicated ripping work, that specialization is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade for Fast Thick-Stock Ripping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/50176830538022_19240b7f036c.jpg\" alt=\"Freud LM71M014 14 in.
