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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Non-Ferrous Blend for Maximum Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreud-Made TiCo Carbide specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals extends tooth life\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Gullet Design reduces chip build-up, which can cause shoulder damage or breakage\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Ice Coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-5 deg. hook angle\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 teeth on a 10\" diameter blade\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/8\" arbor size\u003c\/strong\u003e - 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChip 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade-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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf:\u003c\/strong\u003e.110\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlate:\u003c\/strong\u003e.087\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e -5 deg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrind:\u003c\/strong\u003e TCG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cutting Thick Non-Ferrous Materials and Aluminum.
