With every Advanced Straight Line Edger, we provide 1x Glue Line Rip Saw Blade: 355 x 5.0 x 3.6 x 66T x 50.8 (mm).

• Saw Blade Dimensions
The standard diameter of the saw blade is about 14″ or 355mm with a bore diameter of 50.8mm or 2″. To position the saw blade correctly, there is a 14mm pin hole at about 65mm from the blade center.

• Saw Blade Plate & Kerf
The plate represents the blade body thickness with a value of 3.6mm here.
The kerf is the width of the blade teeth or more simply the width of the material removed after ripping. It is about 5.0mm.

• Tooth Shape
The carbide mounted on the saw blade tooth follows a right & left bevel tooth shape sequence of 5° each.
To correctly rip natural solid wood, the rake angle is about 20° with a clearance angle at 15°.

• Tooth Count & Chip load
The saw blade is coming with 66 teeth in standard configuration.
To reach the specific finish of glue line, it is important to verify the chipload.

Based on the well known formula below:

Chip load = ((Feed rate x12) / (Tooth count x RPM)) x Complete kerf tooth count

With the values below, we reach a chip load of 0.009″, which represents the hardwood reference for glue line.

– Feed rate: 75 feet/min
– Tooth count: 66
– Spindle RPM: 3000

• Ripping Accuracy
By definition, an edger is defined as “Glue Line Cut” capable when the straightness of the cut pieces stays within a strict tolerance over a certain length.
With the Advanced edger, the tolerance stays within a range from 0.08 to 0.16mm on 2m long material.
This level of accuracy allows users to joint the cut pieces together with glue and produce solid wood panels.
