This Freud 18 in. 108-Tooth Carbide-Tipped Saw Blade for Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metals is purpose-built for cutting drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, making it an ideal choice for fabricators and metalworkers who regularly process aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic stock. Engineered in Italy with a Triple Chip Grind tooth profile and a -6 deg. hook angle, this large-format non-ferrous cutting blade delivers controlled, clean cuts on medium to thick material sections. The 18 in. diameter and 108-tooth count combination means more contact points per revolution, translating to smoother cuts with less chatter on demanding workpieces. Compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this blade is a versatile solution for shops handling a wide range of non-ferrous metal cutting tasks.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry - the flat-triple chip tooth pattern with a positive cutting angle shears through aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials efficiently, reducing edge burrs and minimizing post-cut finishing work.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating on the blade surface - prevents material buildup on the blade and keeps it running cooler and cleaner during extended cutting sessions, helping maintain consistent performance and extending the service life of the blade.
• Silent Sawblade construction - reduces operational noise and vibration during cuts, contributing to a more controlled cutting experience and a more comfortable work environment.
• -6 deg. hook angle - designed specifically for non-ferrous metals and plastics, this negative hook angle controls the feed rate of the material into the blade, reducing the risk of grabbing or kickback on drawn products and tubing.
• 108 carbide-tipped teeth on an 18 in. diameter blade - the high tooth count across a large cutting diameter provides a fine, smooth finish on medium to thick aluminum and non-ferrous sections, reducing cleanup time after each cut.
• 4.5 mm kerf width with a 3.2 mm plate - the kerf-to-plate ratio provides structural stability throughout the cut while removing enough material to prevent binding on thicker workpieces.
• 1 in. arbor size - fits the standard arbors found on full-size miter saws and stationary table saws, making this blade straightforward to mount on compatible machines without adapters.
• Sold as a single blade (1x per pack) - each order includes one blade, allowing you to purchase exactly the quantity your shop requires.

Why This Product

• Purpose-matched for medium to thick non-ferrous stock - the blade is specifically rated for cutting drawn products and tubes exceeding 5 mm in thickness, so you are selecting a tool engineered for the actual demands of heavier aluminum and non-ferrous fabrication work rather than a general-purpose compromise.
• Multi-material versatility across one blade - with confirmed compatibility for aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic, this blade reduces the need to swap blades between different non-ferrous cutting tasks on the same machine.
• Cooler, cleaner blade performance through Silver I.C.E. Coating - by preventing buildup on the blade surface and keeping operating temperatures lower, this coating helps sustain cutting quality over longer production runs.
• Fits three major saw configurations - rated for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this 18 in. blade integrates into a variety of professional shop setups without requiring specialized equipment.
