The Diablo 12" x 72-Teeth Saw Blade for Thick Aluminum delivers next-generation non-ferrous metal cutting performance for professionals who demand clean, burr-free results on aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, brass plate, and more. Engineered with Diablo's specially formulated TiCo Super-Density Micro-Grain Carbide, this 12-inch circular saw blade resists wear, withstands high-impact cutting, and outlasts standard carbide blades in demanding metal cutting applications. Whether you're working with thick aluminum stock (3/16"-7/16"), copper, brass, plastic, or fiberglass, this blade is built to perform on both corded and cordless miter saws and slide miter saws without the rework that comes from rough, burr-heavy cuts.

Key Features

• TiCo Super-Density Micro-Grain Carbide - specially formulated carbide resists impact and wear, delivering clog-free cuts and extended cutting life compared to standard carbide in metal cutting applications
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - maximizes blade life, cutting speed, and durability while producing clean, burr-free finishes that virtually eliminate rework on aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - bonds carbide teeth with extreme strength so the blade withstands high-impact cutting through thick aluminum and other tough non-ferrous materials for maximum durability
• Laser-Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and reduce vibration during cutting, improving accuracy and extending the working life of the blade
• Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating - protects the blade plate against heat buildup, gumming from aluminum residue, and corrosion, keeping the blade performing cut after cut
• -5 deg. hook angle - negative hook geometry controls the feed rate through metal, reducing grabbing and improving operator safety and cut quality on thick aluminum and non-ferrous stock
• 72-tooth configuration on a 12-inch plate - high tooth count provides smooth, fine finishes on aluminum, copper, brass, plastic, and fiberglass without sacrificing cutting speed

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for thick aluminum cutting (3/16"-7/16") as well as medium and thin aluminum, this single blade covers a wide range of non-ferrous metal thicknesses - reducing the need to swap blades on the job.
• The TCG tooth design and TiCo carbide formulation work together to produce burr-free cuts on aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, and brass plate - meaning less grinding, filing, and finishing time after each cut.
• Compatible with both corded and cordless miter saws and slide miter saws up to 5,000 RPM, this blade fits the tools professionals already own and use on-site.
• The combination of Perma-SHIELD coating, Tri-Metal Brazing, and Laser-Cut Stabilizer Vents means this blade is built for durability under the heat, vibration, and impact conditions common in aluminum and metal fabrication work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What aluminum thicknesses can this blade handle?

This Diablo blade is optimized for thin (up to 1/8"), medium (3/32"-1/4"), and thick (3/16"-7/16") aluminum metals, making it versatile across a wide range of aluminum stock sizes on the same blade.

What materials other than aluminum can this blade cut?

In addition to aluminum, this blade is suitable for cutting copper, brass, plastic, and fiberglass - making it a go-to choice for cutting non-ferrous metals and composites on the job site.

What saws is the Diablo D1272N compatible with?

This 12" blade with a 1" arbor is designed for use with miter saws and slide miter saws, both corded and cordless, with a maximum speed rating of 5,000 RPM. Always verify your saw's arbor size and maximum RPM rating before use.

Will this blade leave burrs or require rework after cutting aluminum?

The Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry is specifically designed to produce clean, burr-free finishes on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, virtually eliminating the need for secondary finishing or rework after cuts.
