24 tooth sawblade ripping describes this SawStop 10 inch diameter circular saw blade designed for cutting and ripping softwoods and hardwoods, so one blade can handle typical shop rip work across common lumber species. The carbide-tipped, general purpose design means each tooth carries a durable cutting edge, which supports consistent performance across multiple jobs. The 24 tooth count balances fast feed rates with controlled chip removal, which matters when moving material efficiently while keeping the cut usable for further machining. An alternating tooth bevel design shapes each tooth to cut from alternating sides of the kerf, helping produce a professional-quality cut with minimal tear out on both faces of the board. The ATB configuration paired with the 10 inch diameter and 5/8 inch arbor sizing fits the role of a workhorse ripping blade in many woodworking setups.
This SawStop 10 inch diameter blade with 5/8 inch arbor is sized for saws machined to that arbor diameter, so the blade centers properly on the arbor shoulder. The .118 inch kerf defines the width of material removed in each pass, which affects cut line planning and waste when laying out rips. A plate thickness of 0.078 inch supports the kerf while limiting body flex, which helps the blade stay on line against the fence. The rake angle of 15 degrees sets the forward lean of the teeth, encouraging an assertive bite into softwoods and hardwoods during ripping. A top angle of 10 degrees shapes the cutting edge at the tooth tip, contributing to the balance between smooth finish and productive feed rates. Together, these angles, kerf, and plate dimensions define how the blade feels during feed and how the finished rip surface presents for downstream work.
The SawStop BTS-R-24ATB circular saw blade is identified as a 24-tooth, carbide-tipped general purpose blade, so it is set up to handle both cutting and ripping tasks in softwoods and hardwoods commonly processed in woodworking shops. The 10 inch diameter places it in a standard size range, which supports a familiar cutting arc and expected depth of cut for most bench and cabinet saw work when used within the saws design envelope. Its alternating tooth bevel design focuses on producing a professional-quality cut with minimal tear out, which benefits visible edges on hardwood rip strips or softwood framing components that will see further machining. Because the tooth geometry and carbide tips are tuned for both cutting and ripping, the blade helps maintain a consistent surface that can move directly to jointing, planing, or light sanding.
The precision-formed expansion slots built into this blade are specifically described as helping prevent vibration, noise, and heat build-up, which directly supports stable cuts when running longer rips in hardwood or softwood boards. Reduced vibration helps the blade track cleanly along the fence, which matters for maintaining straight, square edges that glue up more reliably. Lower noise at the saw contributes to a more controlled work environment during repetitive ripping tasks. Controlling heat build-up in the plate helps the .118 inch kerf remain consistent across the length of the cut, limiting blade wander that can arise from thermal expansion. The 15 degree rake angle and 10 degree top angle shape how each carbide tooth engages the wood, encouraging a positive feed without excessive resistance, which supports steady, controlled pushing of stock through the cut. Combined with the 24-tooth count, these details define a ripping-focused blade that balances productivity and surface quality.
The 24-tooth, carbide-tipped general purpose blade is described as ideally suited for cutting and ripping softwoods and hardwoods, so it serves typical lumber processing in woodworking shops.
The blade is specified as 10 inch diameter with a 5/8 inch arbor, so it fits saws built for that blade size and arbor diameter, allowing proper seating on the arbor shoulder.
The alternating tooth bevel design is described as providing a professional-quality cut with minimal tear out, which improves edge appearance on ripped softwood and hardwood boards.
The precision-formed expansion slots help prevent vibration, noise, and heat build-up, supporting smoother cutting, consistent kerf performance, and more accurate tracking along the fence.
The .118 inch kerf defines the width of the cut, which affects how much material is removed and how easily stock feeds, influencing waste and the feel of the cut at the saw.
The 15 degree rake angle and 10 degree top angle set how each tooth engages the wood, supporting a positive, efficient bite that balances feed rate and surface quality on rip cuts.
The SawStop 10 inch diameter, 5/8 inch arbor BTS-R-24ATB blade combines a 24-tooth ATB layout, carbide-tipped teeth, and precision-formed expansion slots to support ripping softwoods and hardwoods with minimal tear out. Its .118 inch kerf, 0.078 inch plate thickness, and defined rake and top angles work together to produce controlled feed and stable tracking along the fence. For shops needing a circular saw blade that is described as ideally suited for cutting and ripping softwoods and hardwoods, this blade provides a clearly defined set of specifications that align with that role.
