Freud 14-inch Carbide Tipped Saw Blade for Crosscutting is a precision-engineered cutting tool built for demanding work in aluminum, plastics, brass, copper, and vinyl. Designed to deliver clean, chip-free results with a 120-tooth configuration and a 3mm kerf, this blade is purpose-built for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are critical. Whether you are cutting non-ferrous metals or synthetic sheet materials, Freud engineering delivers the precision and durability professionals rely on.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formulation - Freud's exclusive blend of TiCo Hi-Density Carbide is specifically designed for each cutting application to maximize cutting life and material finish, meaning fewer blade changes and consistently cleaner cuts across aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl.
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry - The TCG grind pattern is optimized for non-ferrous metals and plastics, reducing the risk of chipping and grabbing so cuts stay smooth and controlled even in harder materials like brass and copper.
• 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, protecting your investment over an extended service life.
• Anti-Vibration design - The anti-vibration design eliminates movement and reduces vibration for flawless cuts, resulting in straighter, more accurate kerfs with less operator fatigue.
• Tri-Metal Brazing - Tri-Metal Brazing gives the tooth superior bond strength and protects the carbide tooth by giving it increased flexibility and impact resistance, which is especially important when cutting harder non-ferrous materials at sustained speeds.
• Hi-Tolerance Precision Plate Grinding and Tensioning - Freud's 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 delicate and coated materials.
• 5 deg. Hook Angle - The positive 5 deg. hook angle promotes controlled, aggressive feeding through non-ferrous metals and plastics without grabbing or deflecting, keeping cuts precise and repeatable.
• 120 carbide teeth with 3mm kerf - The high tooth count paired with a 3mm kerf produces fine, smooth surface finishes that minimize secondary cleanup work on cut edges.

Why This Product

• Purpose-designed for non-ferrous cutting: With a TCG grind, 120 teeth, and TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, this blade is built specifically for aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl - not a general-purpose compromise that handles these materials as an afterthought.
• Long-lasting blade protection built in: The Silver I.C.E. Coating actively fights heat buildup, rust, and corrosion, helping the blade maintain peak performance over an extended service life compared to uncoated alternatives.
• Rock-solid tooth retention for demanding materials: Tri-Metal Brazing provides superior bond strength, flexibility, and impact resistance at every carbide tip - critical when cutting harder non-ferrous metals where tooth loss or micro-fractures can compromise both safety and finish quality.
• Compatibility across multiple machine types: This blade is rated for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws with a standard 5/8-inch bore diameter, offering versatile setup options across a range of shop configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is this 14-inch saw blade designed to cut?

This blade is designed for cutting plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. The TCG grind and 120-tooth configuration make it well-suited for non-ferrous metals and synthetic materials where a clean, chip-free finish is required.

What machines is this blade compatible with?

This blade is approved for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. The bore diameter is 5/8 inch, which is a widely used standard arbor size across these machine types.

What does the TCG grind mean for my cutting results?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry is specifically suited for non-ferrous metals and plastics, helping to control chip formation and reduce the risk of grabbing or rough edges when cutting harder materials like brass and copper.

How does the Silver I.C.E. Coating benefit this blade over time?

Freud's own Silver I.C.E. Coating reduces heat and buildup during cutting while also eliminating rust and corrosion on the blade body. This protective coating helps maintain cutting performance and extends the useful life of the blade across repeated use.
