This Freud 10 in. 80-Tooth Carbide Tipped Saw Blade is purpose-built for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, delivering clean, precise results in plastic, vinyl, brass, and copper as well. Engineered for drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, this non-ferrous cutting blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, making it a versatile addition to any fabrication or metalworking setup. Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formula and Silver I.C.E. Coating work together to extend cutting life while maintaining a flawless finish pass after pass.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide - Freud's exclusive carbide blend is specifically designed for each cutting application, which means the tooth material is optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous metals to maximize both cutting life and material finish quality.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - Freud's own Silver I.C.E. Coating reduces heat, build up, and eliminates rust and corrosion to maximize the life of the blade, keeping the blade performing reliably over an extended service life.
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) with -6 deg. Hook Angle - The TCG grind paired with a negative hook angle is well-suited for aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and plastics, producing controlled, chip-free cuts in materials that can be prone to grabbing or tearing.
• Anti-Vibration Design - Eliminates movement and reduces vibration for flawless cuts, resulting in smoother edges and greater dimensional accuracy on finished workpieces.
• Tri-Metal Brazing - Gives the tooth superior bond strength and protects the carbide tooth by giving it increased flexibility and impact resistance, which is especially valuable when cutting through harder non-ferrous metals like brass and copper.
• Hi-Tolerance Precision Plate Grinding and Tensioning - Features a laser cut blade body from 48 Rockwell steel plate that remains flat and true over the lifetime of the blade, ensuring consistent accuracy cut after cut.
• 80 Teeth at a 3.5 mm Kerf - The high tooth count produces fine, smooth cuts in aluminum tubing and drawn products while the 3.5 mm kerf balances material removal efficiency with minimal waste.
• 5/8 in. Arbor - Provides broad compatibility with standard miter saws and table saws, simplifying installation and reducing the need for adapters.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic - this blade handles a wide range of non-ferrous and synthetic materials from a single tool, reducing the need to swap blades between jobs.
• The combination of Silver I.C.E. Coating and TiCo Hi-Density Carbide actively fights heat buildup and corrosion, meaning the blade holds its edge longer and requires less frequent replacement compared to uncoated alternatives.
• Anti-vibration design and precision plate tensioning work together to minimize chatter during cuts, which translates directly to cleaner edges on tubes and drawn profiles that are difficult to finish after cutting.
• Sold as a single ready-to-use blade with a 5/8 in. arbor that fits a wide range of miter and table saw configurations, so it can be put to work immediately without additional accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Freud 10 in. blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is categorized for aluminum and non-ferrous metals at a medium cutting range, and is particularly suited to drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm.

What type of grind does this blade use, and why does it matter for non-ferrous cutting?

This blade uses a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) with a -6 deg. hook angle. The TCG tooth geometry is specifically effective for aluminum, brass, copper, and plastics because it reduces the risk of grabbing and produces a controlled, clean cut in materials that can chip or deform under aggressive cutting angles.

Which saws are compatible with this blade?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. It features a 5/8 in. arbor, which fits the standard arbor size found on most of these saw types.

What is the recommended cutting orientation when using this blade on tubes and drawn products?

It is recommendable to use it with the sawblade over the workpiece to be cut. This positioning helps ensure a cleaner entry and exit cut, especially when working with aluminum tubing and other drawn profiles.
