Ridge Carbide 12" Super Combo Thin Kerf Saw Blade| 48 Teeth, AR 2+1 Grind, +20° Hook, 1" Bore, 0.072" Plate Thickness, 0.112" Kerf (TS21248TK-1)

Upgrade your woodworking with the Ridge Carbide TS21248TK-1 12" 48-Tooth Super Combination Blade-precision-engineered for ultra-smooth, splinter-free cuts in solid wood, plywood, and panel goods. Featuring a +20° Alternate Raker Grind (2+1) designed for use in table saws, this blade ensures fast, razor-sharp, tear-free ripping on both soft and hardwoods. The Alternate Raker Grind (4+1) is similar to an ATB grind, but every fifth tooth is a flat raker tooth positioned slightly lower than the beveled teeth. The flat raker produces a flat bottom while keeping the blade “running straight” during the cut. The Raker (4+1) grind is used for both rip and crosscutting in a variety of hardwood, softwood, plywood, and chipboard. This blade ensures fast, razor-sharp, tear-free ripping and crosscuts for an ultra-smooth finished surface. The C-4 micro-grain carbide teeth are 1/3 larger than other premium brands, allowing for 20-25 sharpenings and a longer service life. Each tooth is meticulously ground to a 1200-grit micro finish, delivering glass-smooth cuts that require little to no sanding. Built for stability, the fully hardened, hand-tensioned tool steel body ensures a flat, true-running blade, while precision expansion slots reduce vibration, heat buildup, and noise for seamless operation. Proudly Made in the USA, Ridge Carbide saw blades have received top accolades, including “Top Tool”, “Editors Choice”, “Best Overall” and “Best Quality Cut” from industry-leading publications. Whether you're working with hardwood, softwood, or veneered panels, this blade delivers unmatched cut quality and overall performance.
