The Diablo 5-7/8 in. x 52-Tooth Saw Blade for Aluminum is a precision-engineered circular saw blade built for cutting non-ferrous metals and other demanding materials including copper, brass, plastics, and fiberglass. Designed for use with trim saws in both corded and cordless configurations, this blade brings together advanced carbide technology and vibration-dampening engineering to deliver clean, burr-free results on aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, brass plate, and similar workpieces - reducing rework time and improving cut quality on the job site.

Key Features

• TiCo Super-Density Micro-Grain Carbide teeth - specially formulated carbide that withstands impact, reduces wear, and provides clog-free cuts, lasting longer than standard carbide in metal cutting applications so you replace blades less often.
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - engineered tooth design that produces clean, burr-free finishes on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, virtually eliminating rework after each cut.
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal bonding system that holds each carbide tooth securely while absorbing extreme impact, maximizing blade durability and service life in tough cutting conditions.
• Laser-Cut Stabilizer Vents - precision vents cut directly into the plate that trap noise and reduce vibration, resulting in more accurate cuts and extended blade life during continuous use.
• Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Coating - a protective coating applied to the blade body that guards against heat buildup, gumming, and corrosion, keeping the blade running smoothly through aluminum and other sticky non-ferrous materials.
• -5 deg. hook angle - a negative hook angle designed specifically for metal cutting that controls the feed rate and reduces the risk of blade grab, improving safety and cut consistency.
• Thin.061 in. kerf - a narrow kerf width that removes less material per pass, reducing heat generation and allowing faster, more efficient cuts through medium aluminum and other non-ferrous materials.
• 14500 Maximum RPM rating - a high maximum RPM that makes this blade compatible with a wide range of trim saw speeds for versatile on-the-job performance.

Why This Product

• If your work involves cutting aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, brass plate, or fiberglass panels, this blade handles thin (up to 1/8 in.), medium (3/32 in.-1/4 in.), and thick (3/16 in.-7/16 in.) aluminum thicknesses in a single blade - reducing the need to swap blades between different stock sizes.
• The combination of TiCo Super-Density Micro-Grain Carbide and Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing means the blade holds up under the repeated impact stress of metal cutting, giving you more cuts per blade and lower long-term tooling cost.
• The Triple Chip Grind tooth design delivers burr-free cuts on non-ferrous metals, which directly reduces finishing and rework time - a measurable advantage on production-oriented or time-sensitive jobs.
• With a 5/8 in. arbor and a maximum rating of 14500 RPM, this blade fits standard trim saws and delivers consistent results in both corded and cordless tool platforms, making it a flexible addition to any aluminum cutting setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Diablo blade cut besides aluminum?

In addition to aluminum, this blade is rated for cutting copper, brass, plastics, and fiberglass. It is ideal for non-ferrous metal applications such as aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, and brass plate when used with a compatible trim saw.

What aluminum thicknesses can this blade handle?

This blade is optimized for cutting thin (up to 1/8 in.), medium (3/32 in.-1/4 in.), and thick (3/16 in.-7/16 in.) aluminum materials, making it versatile across a range of aluminum stock sizes.

Is this blade compatible with cordless saws?

Yes. This Diablo aluminum cutting blade is designed for use with both corded and cordless trim saws, provided the saw accepts a 5/8 in. arbor and operates within the 14500 maximum RPM rating of the blade.

What is the TCG tooth design and why does it matter for aluminum cutting?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind, a tooth geometry specifically engineered for cutting non-ferrous metals. It produces clean, burr-free finishes on materials like aluminum, copper, and brass - which reduces or eliminates the need for secondary finishing or rework after the cut is made.
