This Freud 10 in. 100-Tooth Carbide Tipped Saw Blade is purpose-built for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, including special drawn products such as tubes and similar products with ultra-thin walls. With a 2.8 mm kerf and a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth configuration, this blade delivers an excellent cutting finish without splintering, while its reduced thickness makes it well-suited for use in low-power machines. Whether you are working with plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, or copper on a miter saw, stationary table saw, or double miter saw, this Freud blade is engineered to produce clean, precise results across a demanding range of non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide - specifically designed for each cutting application: Freud's exclusive carbide blend is formulated to match the demands of cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, maximizing both cutting life and material finish so you get more cuts before the blade needs replacing.
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry: The TCG grind is optimized for clean, chip-free cuts through hard non-ferrous materials like brass, copper, and aluminum, reducing material waste and finishing time.
• 5 deg. hook angle for controlled cutting: A 5 deg. hook angle helps manage feed rate and reduces the risk of grabbing or kickback when working through thin-walled tubes and drawn aluminum profiles, giving the operator greater control.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating reduces heat, buildup, and eliminates rust and corrosion: Freud's own Silver I.C.E. Coating keeps the blade running cooler and protects it from corrosion, directly extending the blade's working life and maintaining cut quality over time.
• Anti-Vibration design eliminates movement and reduces vibration: Less vibration during cutting means smoother, more accurate results and reduced operator fatigue, particularly important when precision fit is required.
• Tri-Metal Brazing for superior bond strength: This brazing process gives each carbide tooth increased flexibility and impact resistance, protecting the teeth during demanding cuts through hard metals and extending overall blade durability.
• Hi-Tolerance Precision Plate Grinding and Tensioning from 48 Rockwell steel plate: The laser-cut blade body is manufactured from 48 Rockwell steel plate - the world's highest quality steel - and remains flat and true over the lifetime of the blade, ensuring consistent accuracy with every cut.
• 2.8 mm kerf with a 2.2 mm plate thickness: The reduced kerf minimizes material loss per cut and makes this blade especially efficient on low-power machines where a thicker kerf would demand more motor output.
• 5/8 in. arbor for broad compatibility: The standard 5/8 in. arbor fits a wide range of miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, making this blade a versatile drop-in upgrade for most shop setups.
• 100 teeth for ultra-fine finish cuts: A high tooth count means more cutting edges engage the material per revolution, resulting in smoother surfaces and reducing the need for secondary finishing work on aluminum, vinyl, and similar materials.

Why This Product

• The combination of TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and Silver I.C.E. Coating works together to extend blade life and maintain cut quality, meaning fewer blade changes and lower long-term tooling costs on aluminum and non-ferrous metal cutting jobs.
• The reduced 2.8 mm kerf and TCG tooth design make this blade effective even in low-power machines, expanding the range of equipment it can be paired with without sacrificing finish quality.
• With 100 teeth and an Anti-Vibration design, this blade consistently produces clean cuts through special drawn products like ultra-thin-walled tubes - materials where a lesser blade would chip or deflect.
• Compatibility with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws means this single blade can serve multiple machines in a shop environment, cutting aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl with equal precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Freud 10 in. saw blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is specifically suited to cutting aluminum and non-ferrous metals, including special drawn products such as tubes and similar products having ultra-thin walls.

Which machines is this blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. It uses a standard 5/8 in. arbor for straightforward installation on most of these machine types.

What does the TCG grind mean for cut quality?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry is optimized for cutting hard non-ferrous materials like aluminum, brass, and copper, delivering an excellent cutting finish without splintering - even through thin-walled drawn products.

Is this blade suitable for use with low-power machines?

Yes. The reduced 2.8 mm kerf thickness is specifically noted to optimize the blade's use in low-power machines, as less material is removed per pass, requiring less motor output while still achieving a high-quality cutting finish.
