Freud 250mm Thin to Medium Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped circular saw blade designed for cutting aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and polymeric materials with accuracy and efficiency. Built with an 80-tooth configuration and a 30mm arbor, this blade is optimized for use on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws where clean, controlled cuts through drawn products, tubes, and polymer panels are required. Whether you are working with aluminum extrusions, brass, copper, vinyl, or plastic sheet goods, this 250mm blade delivers the cutting geometry and surface protection needed to maintain performance across demanding production environments.

Key Features

• Flat-triple chip tooth grind (TCG) with a 5 deg. hook angle - the triple chip geometry distributes cutting forces evenly across non-ferrous metals and plastics, reducing chipping and producing cleaner edge quality on finished workpieces.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating on the blade surface - this protective coating prevents material buildup on the blade and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, which extends working life and reduces the need for frequent cleaning stops.
• Silent Sawblade design - reduces noise and vibration during operation, resulting in a more controlled cut and a more comfortable working environment over long production runs.
• 80 carbide teeth on a 250mm diameter plate - the high tooth count means more cutting edges are engaged per revolution, producing smoother cuts in aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic with minimal burring.
• 3.5mm kerf with a 3mm plate thickness - the thin kerf minimizes material waste and reduces the load on the saw motor, making this blade efficient for both light and medium-duty non-ferrous cutting tasks.
• Compatible with multiple pinhole configurations (2/9/46.4 and 2/10/60) - the dual pinhole specification means this blade fits a wider range of miter saw and table saw arbor plates without requiring adapters.
• Suited for materials from 2mm to 5mm thick drawn products and tubes, and polymeric panels up to 20mm - the usage range is clearly defined so you can match the blade to your actual cutting requirements with confidence.

Why This Product

• The Silver I.C.E. Coating and TCG grind work together to keep the blade surface clean and the cutting edges sharp, meaning fewer blade changes and more consistent results when processing aluminum, copper, or brass stock.
• With compatibility across miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this single blade can serve multiple machines in a shop, reducing the need to stock separate blades for different tools.
• The Silent Sawblade construction addresses both noise reduction and vibration damping, which directly contributes to straighter cuts and a better surface finish on thin-walled tubes and drawn aluminum profiles.
• The defined usage range - drawn products and tubes from 2mm to 5mm thick, and polymeric panels up to 20mm - gives you a reliable reference point for matching the blade to your specific material thickness before you make your first cut.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Freud 250mm blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is suited for drawn products and tubes with a thickness between 2 and 5 mm, as well as polymeric panels up to 20 mm thick.

Which saws is this blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. The 30mm arbor and dual pinhole configuration (2/9/46.4 and 2/10/60) support fitment across a range of these machine types.

What does the Silver I.C.E. Coating do?

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents material buildup on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner during operation. This helps maintain cutting performance and reduces the frequency of cleaning or blade changes.

What is the tooth grind type and why does it matter for non-ferrous cutting?

This blade uses a TCG (triple chip grind) tooth form with a positive 5 deg. hook angle. The flat-triple chip tooth geometry is well suited to non-ferrous metals and polymeric materials because it manages cutting forces in a way that limits chipping and produces a cleaner cut edge compared to standard alternate-top-bevel grinds used on wood blades.
