This Freud 16-inch Medium Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped cutting tool designed for professionals who need clean, reliable results when cutting aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic. Featuring 120 teeth and a 1-inch arbor, this blade is purpose-built for drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, making it an ideal choice for miter saw, stationary table saw, and double miter saw setups. The Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and -6 deg. hook angle combine to deliver smooth, controlled cuts through non-ferrous metals with minimal burring - a critical benefit when finish quality matters. Sold individually, this Italian-crafted blade brings professional-grade performance to demanding metal-cutting operations.

Key Features

• 120-Tooth TCG Grind: The Triple Chip Grind tooth profile paired with 120 teeth produces fine, smooth cuts through aluminum and non-ferrous metals - reducing the need for secondary finishing work on cut edges.
• -6 deg. Hook Angle: A negative hook angle improves control and reduces the risk of blade grab when cutting non-ferrous materials, making operation safer and more predictable.
• Flat-triple chip tooth with positive cutting angle: This tooth geometry is optimized for non-ferrous metal cutting, helping to produce cleaner cut surfaces and extending the usable life of the blade.
• Silent Sawblade design: Engineered to operate more quietly than standard metal-cutting blades, reducing noise fatigue during extended cutting sessions in professional shop environments.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner: By resisting pitch and residue accumulation, this coating helps maintain consistent cutting performance over time and reduces maintenance intervals.
• 3.5 mm Kerf Width: A defined kerf of 3.5 mm minimizes material waste per cut, which is especially valuable when working with higher-cost non-ferrous stock such as copper and brass.
• 1-inch Arbor: A standard 1-inch arbor ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws without the need for adapter rings.
• Compatible with multiple tool types: Rated for use with a miter saw, stationary table saw, and double miter saw, this blade offers flexibility across common professional cutting setups.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for non-ferrous metals and plastics: This blade is specifically designed and categorized for cutting aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic - meaning its tooth geometry, hook angle, and grind type are all optimized for these materials rather than adapted from a general-purpose design.
• Cooler, cleaner cutting through Silver I.C.E. Coating: The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, which directly translates to longer blade life and more consistent cut quality across a workday.
• Engineered for material thickness over 5 mm: The blade's usage specification calls out drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, so buyers working with thicker non-ferrous stock can be confident this blade is rated for their application.
• Broad tool compatibility in one blade: Compatibility with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws means this single blade can serve multiple machines in a shop, reducing the number of specialty blades needed on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is specifically categorized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials in a medium cutting application.

What thickness of material is this blade intended for?

This blade is intended to cut drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm. It is recommendable to use it with the sawblade over the workpiece to be cut.

Which power tools is this blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with a miter saw, stationary table saw, and double miter saw. The 1-inch arbor size is the key specification to verify against your tool before mounting.

What does the Silent Sawblade feature mean in practice?

The Silent Sawblade feature refers to the blade's design characteristic that reduces operating noise during cutting. This can be especially beneficial during extended use in professional shop environments where noise levels are a concern.
