Built around a -5 deg. hook angle and a high 120-tooth count, this 12 in. diameter circular saw blade produces smooth, burr-free cuts in non-ferrous metal extrusions and profiles with wall thickness up to 1\/16 in. maximum. Freud's proprietary TiCo HI-Density Carbide Non-Ferrous Blend sets this blade apart from standard woodworking blades, delivering extended tooth life and superior edge quality on materials that demand a specialized cutting approach. Whether used on a miter saw, radial arm saw, stationary table saw, or portable table saw, this specialty blade is a go-to solution for metalworking professionals and tradespeople who require consistent, clean results in thin non-ferrous stock.\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\u003c\/strong\u003e - Freud's specially formulated carbide is designed with the high impact strength demands of non-ferrous metal cutting in mind, resulting in maximum cutting performance and longer tooth life compared to a general-purpose blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 teeth with a TCG (Triple Chip Grind)\u003c\/strong\u003e - The high tooth count combined with a Triple Chip Grind geometry distributes cutting load evenly across the blade, helping to produce clean, burr-free finishes on aluminum, brass, and copper without tearing or distorting the material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e-5 deg. negative hook angle\u003c\/strong\u003e - A negative hook angle causes the teeth to slice through thin non-ferrous metal stock with less aggressive bite, reducing the risk of material grab, binding, or distortion during the cut for safer and smoother operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Ice Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e - This protective coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up on the blade body, helping to maintain cutting efficiency over time and extending the usable life of the blade in metal-cutting environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin.091 in. kerf with a.071 in. plate\u003c\/strong\u003e - The narrow kerf removes less material per pass, reducing waste and minimizing heat generated during cuts through thin non-ferrous stock, which is particularly valuable when working with expensive materials like copper or brass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with multiple tool types\u003c\/strong\u003e - Approved for use on miter saws, radial arm saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws, giving users flexibility across a range of shop and jobsite setups with a single 1 in. arbor blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated for wall thickness up to 1\/16 in. maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e - Optimized specifically for thin stock cutting, this blade delivers reliable results within its rated capacity, helping users match the right tool to the right application for best outcomes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Freud-made TiCo Carbide formula is engineered specifically for non-ferrous metals - not adapted from a wood-cutting design - so the blade is built from the ground up to handle the unique demands that aluminum, brass, and copper place on a cutting edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe combination of 120 teeth, a -5 deg. negative hook angle, and a TCG grind works together to deliver burr-free, low-distortion cuts in thin non-ferrous extrusions, reducing finishing time and material waste on every cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Silver Ice Coating actively resists corrosion and pitch build-up, helping to keep the blade performing at its best through repeated use in metal-cutting applications where residue accumulation is a common concern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith a 1 in. arbor and compatibility across four saw types - miter saw, radial arm saw, stationary table saw, and portable table saw - this 12 in. blade offers broad versatility without requiring additional adapters or tooling changes.\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\u003eProduct Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saw Blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum and Plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum and Non-Ferrous (Thin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cutting Thin Aluminum And Other Non-Ferrous Metals.
