Freud 10" Thick Stock Aluminum Metal Blade is a precision-engineered, 60-tooth circular saw blade built specifically for cutting thick non-ferrous materials - including aluminum, brass, and copper - with a maximum wall thickness of 1/2". Designed for use on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, this specialty blade combines Freud-made TiCo HI-Density Carbide with a unique gullet design and Silver Ice Coating to deliver clean, professional-quality cuts in demanding non-ferrous metalworking applications. Whether you are a fabricator working with aluminum extrusions or a contractor cutting copper and brass stock, this blade is engineered to handle thick non-ferrous cutting with accuracy and extended tool life.

Key Features

• Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Non-Ferrous Blend for Maximum Performance - this specially formulated carbide is developed by Freud specifically for non-ferrous metals, meaning the cutting edge is optimized for aluminum, brass, and copper rather than relying on a general-purpose carbide mix, so you get cleaner cuts and longer tooth life on the materials you actually use.
• Freud-Made TiCo Carbide specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals extends tooth life - because the carbide compound is tailored to the hardness and characteristics of non-ferrous metals, each tooth wears more slowly, reducing how often you need to replace or re-sharpen the blade.
• Unique Gullet Design reduces chip build-up, which can cause shoulder damage or breakage - the custom-engineered gullets evacuate chips efficiently as you cut, protecting both the blade and the workpiece from heat buildup and debris accumulation that could lead to costly damage.
• Silver Ice Coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up - this protective finish keeps the blade surface cleaner between uses and helps guard against the corrosion that can develop when cutting metals, extending the overall service life of the blade.
• TCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry - this grind pattern is well-suited to cutting hard non-ferrous materials, alternating between flat and chamfered teeth to shear material cleanly and reduce the risk of chipping or grabbing during cuts.
• -5 deg. hook angle - the negative hook angle controls feed rate and reduces the tendency of the blade to self-feed aggressively into the workpiece, improving operator control and cut quality in thick non-ferrous stock.
• 60 teeth on a 10" diameter blade - the high tooth count produces a finer, smoother finish on non-ferrous metals compared to lower-tooth-count blades, making this a strong choice when surface quality matters.
• 5/8" arbor size - fits the standard arbor found on most 10" miter saws, radial arm saws, and table saws, making this blade straightforward to install on common shop equipment without adapters.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for thick non-ferrous cutting - rated for aluminum, brass, and copper with a maximum wall thickness of 1/2", this blade is a dedicated specialty tool rather than a compromise solution, so it performs reliably in the specific applications it was designed for.
• Chip management built into the design - the unique gullet geometry actively reduces chip build-up during cutting, which helps prevent shoulder damage or blade breakage and keeps your work area cleaner during extended runs.
• Made-in-Italy construction with Freud-proprietary carbide - the TiCo carbide is formulated by Freud specifically for non-ferrous metals, giving this blade a material advantage in tooth longevity compared to general-purpose blades used on the same materials.
• Compatible with three major tool types - the 10" diameter and 5/8" arbor make this blade usable across miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, offering versatility across common workshop setups without requiring additional hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut aluminum, brass, and copper - all non-ferrous metals. It is rated for thick stock with a maximum wall thickness of 1/2". It is not intended for ferrous metals such as steel or iron.

What is the TCG grind and why does it matter for non-ferrous cutting?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry alternates between differently shaped cutting edges, which helps shear through hard non-ferrous materials like aluminum, brass, and copper cleanly while reducing the risk of chipping or grabbing during the cut.

Is a lubricant recommended when using this blade?

Yes - Freud recommends using a liquid lubricant when cutting with this blade. Applying a spray lubricant such as WD-40 approximately every 4 to 5 cuts is advised. Wax sticks are not recommended.

Which saws is this 10" blade compatible with?

This blade is designed for use with miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws. It features a 5/8" arbor, which is the standard arbor size on most 10" versions of these tool types.
