Freud's 20-inch Medium Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Blade is a professional-grade carbide-tipped saw blade engineered specifically for cutting aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl with precision and efficiency. Built around a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and a -6 deg. hook angle, this 140-tooth blade delivers smooth, controlled cuts through drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm - making it a go-to solution for fabricators, metalworkers, and woodworking shops that regularly process non-ferrous materials. Sold individually, this blade fits a 1-inch arbor and is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws.

Key Features

• 140-Tooth TCG Design at 20-Inch Diameter - The high tooth count combined with a Triple Chip Grind geometry reduces chipping and leaves cleaner edges on aluminum, copper, brass, and non-ferrous metals, minimizing secondary finishing work.
• -6 deg. Hook Angle - A negative hook angle slows the feed rate into the material, giving the operator greater control and reducing the risk of blade grab, which is especially important when cutting metal tubing and drawn profiles.
• Flat-Triple Chip Tooth with Positive Cutting Angle - This tooth configuration alternates between flat and chamfered cutting edges to shear material cleanly without excessive heat buildup, extending both blade life and cut quality over time.
• Silent Sawblade Construction - Engineered to reduce vibration and noise during operation, the silent sawblade design improves operator comfort and helps maintain cut accuracy on demanding stationary setups.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - This protective surface coating prevents material buildup on the blade body and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, reducing friction-related wear and helping maintain peak performance across extended use.
• 4 mm Kerf and 3.2 mm Plate - The kerf-to-plate ratio is optimized for stability in the cut, reducing blade deflection and improving straightness when processing tubes and drawn aluminum sections thicker than 5 mm.
• Compatible with Multiple Machine Types - Rated for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this blade adapts to a range of shop configurations without requiring a dedicated machine.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for Non-Ferrous Cutting - Rather than a general-purpose blade adapted for metal, this blade is designed specifically for aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl cutting applications, meaning the tooth count, grind, and geometry all work together for those materials rather than being a compromise.
• Designed for Thicker Drawn Products and Tubes - The usage specifications call this blade out explicitly for drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, so buyers working with heavier-walled aluminum extrusions or structural non-ferrous stock get a blade matched to that actual demand.
• Coating That Actively Protects the Blade - The Silver I.C.E. Coating does more than look polished - it actively prevents material adhesion and heat accumulation on the blade surface, which translates to fewer blade cleanings, less downtime, and longer service intervals.
• Broad Machine Compatibility in One Blade - With a standard 1-inch arbor and compatibility across miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this single blade can move between machines in a shop without purchasing multiple variants for different setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is rated for cutting plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is specifically categorized under aluminum and non-ferrous cutting applications and is intended for use on drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm.

Which machines is this blade compatible with?

This 20-inch blade with a 1-inch arbor is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. Always confirm your machine's arbor size and maximum blade diameter before mounting.

What does the Silent Sawblade feature mean in practice?

The Silent Sawblade designation refers to a blade construction designed to reduce vibration and noise during cutting. This benefits operators by lowering acoustic fatigue during extended use and can also contribute to more stable, accurate cuts by minimizing blade movement.

What is the recommended orientation when using this blade?

According to the usage guidelines, it is recommendable to use the sawblade over the workpiece to be cut. Following this guidance helps ensure safer and more controlled cutting, particularly with drawn products and tubes exceeding 5 mm in thickness.
