Freud 12" Industrial Solid Surface Saw Blade is engineered specifically for cutting solid surface materials, delivering precision and longevity in demanding shop environments. Designed for use on radial arm saws and stationary table saws, this 96-tooth carbide blade handles plastic, vinyl, and solid surface applications with a clean, controlled cut. Whether you are fabricating countertops, trimming sheet goods, or processing synthetic surface panels, this blade is built to perform consistently across a wide range of professional cutting tasks.

Key Features

• Exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide - designed and manufactured by Freud specifically for each cutting application to maximize cutting life, meaning fewer blade changes and lower long-term tooling costs for your shop.
• Tri-Metal Brazing - consists of copper sandwiched between two layers of silver alloy to create a stronger, more impact-resistant bond between the carbide and blade body, reducing the risk of tip loss during heavy use.
• Anti-vibration Design - dampens blade movement during cutting, which helps produce smoother, cleaner cuts in plastic, vinyl, and solid surface materials while reducing operator fatigue.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, extending the usable life of the blade and maintaining cut quality over time.
• MTCG Grind with 96 Teeth - the high tooth count combined with a Modified Triple Chip Grind geometry produces fine, chip-free cuts suited to the specific demands of solid surface and plastic materials.
• -3 deg. Hook Angle - the negative hook angle promotes controlled, safe feeding of workpieces through stationary table saws and radial arm saws, helping to prevent climb-cutting and material kickback.
• 3.2mm Kerf and 2.2mm Plate - the slim kerf removes less material per pass, reducing waste and decreasing the load on your saw motor during cuts.
• 1" Arbor - fits the standard 1" arbor found on most full-size stationary table saws and radial arm saws, making this blade a straightforward, compatible upgrade for your existing equipment.
• 12" Diameter - the full 12" blade diameter provides the depth of cut needed for thick solid surface slabs and large plastic sheet goods commonly encountered in countertop fabrication work.

Why This Product

• The combination of TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and Tri-Metal Brazing delivers a blade body and tip bond engineered for durability, helping shops cut more material between sharpenings and reduce downtime.
• The Silver I.C.E. Coating actively prevents resin and material build up, keeping the blade running cooler and cleaner through extended production runs on plastic, vinyl, and solid surface panels.
• With 96 teeth and an MTCG grind geometry tailored to solid surface cutting, this blade is purpose-built for the materials and applications where a general-purpose blade would struggle to deliver clean results.
• Compatibility with both radial arm saws and stationary table saws - along with a standard 1" arbor - means this blade integrates into the most common professional shop setups without requiring additional adapters or modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut plastic, vinyl, and solid surface materials. It is categorized under Industrial Solid Surface applications and is purpose-built for these material types.

What saws is this blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with radial arm saws and stationary table saws. It features a 1" arbor, which is the standard arbor size found on most full-size saws in these categories.

What does the MTCG grind mean for cutting performance?

MTCG stands for Modified Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry is specifically suited to cutting solid surface, plastic, and vinyl materials, helping to produce clean, controlled cuts while managing chip load on each tooth.

What is the purpose of the Silver I.C.E. Coating on this blade?

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner during use. This helps maintain cutting performance over extended use and supports a longer overall blade life.
