Freud 10 in. 80-Tooth Carbide Tipped Saw Blade for Crosscutting is a precision-engineered circular saw blade built for demanding crosscutting and mitering work in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and related materials. Featuring Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formula and a negative hook angle geometry, this 10 in. blade with an 80-tooth count delivers clean, accurate cuts with minimal vibration - making it a reliable choice for professional woodworkers, fabricators, and tradespeople who require a consistent, high-quality finish on every pass.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide - Freud's exclusive carbide blend is specifically designed for each cutting application to maximize cutting life and material finish, so the blade holds its edge longer and delivers cleaner results over time.
• 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, meaning less downtime for maintenance and a longer-lasting investment.
• Anti-Vibration Design - eliminates movement and reduces vibration for flawless cuts, giving you greater control and precision on every crosscut or miter.
• Tri-Metal Brazing - gives the tooth superior bond strength and protects the carbide tooth by giving it increased flexibility and impact resistance, reducing the risk of tooth loss or chipping during heavy-duty cutting sessions.
• Hi-Tolerance Precision Plate Grinding and Tensioning - features a laser cut blade body from 48 Rockwell steel plate (the world's highest quality steel) that remains flat and true, over the lifetime of the blade, for ultimate accuracy in picture frames and delicate coated moldings.
• TCG Grind with -6 deg. Hook Angle - the Triple Chip Grind geometry paired with a -6 deg. hook angle is optimized for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials, helping prevent grabbing and producing a smooth, controlled cut.
• 80 Teeth / 3.2mm Kerf - the high tooth count combined with a 3.2mm kerf width produces fine, smooth cuts with minimal material waste, ideal for crosscutting applications that demand a clean edge.
• 5/8 in. Bore Diameter - fits a standard 5/8 in. arbor, ensuring compatibility with most 10 in. table saws and miter saws commonly used in professional and workshop settings.

Why This Product

• The combination of TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and Silver I.C.E. Coating works together to extend blade life by resisting heat buildup and corrosion - meaning fewer blade changes and lower long-term tooling costs.
• The anti-vibration design and precision plate tensioning from a laser-cut 48 Rockwell steel body keep the blade flat and true over its lifetime, giving you consistent, accurate results even during extended use.
• With 80 teeth and a TCG grind optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous medium applications, this blade is purpose-built for the crosscutting and mitering demands of professional fabrication work.
• Tri-Metal Brazing provides superior bond strength and added flexibility at each tooth, reducing the chance of carbide tooth breakage and helping protect both the blade and the workpiece during challenging cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is this saw blade designed to cut?

This blade is categorized under Aluminum and Non-Ferrous (Medium), making it designed for cutting aluminum and similar non-ferrous materials in crosscutting and mitering applications.

What does the TCG grind mean, and why does it matter?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry is specifically suited for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials, as it helps produce a smooth, controlled cut while reducing the risk of grabbing or chipping on the workpiece.

What saw arbor size does this blade fit?

This blade features a 5/8 in. bore diameter, which fits standard 5/8 in. arbors found on most 10 in. table saws and miter saws.

How does the Silver I.C.E. Coating benefit blade performance?

Freud's own Silver I.C.E. Coating reduces heat, build up, and eliminates rust and corrosion to maximize the life of the blade, helping it perform consistently over a longer service life compared to uncoated blades.
