This Freud 400mm 96-Tooth Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade is engineered for cutting drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm, making it a go-to choice for fabricators and machinists working with aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic. Featuring a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and Silver I.C.E. Coating, this carbide-tipped blade is designed to deliver clean, precise cuts on non-ferrous metals and plastic materials across miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. Sold individually, this 400mm blade with a 50mm arbor is built in Italy to exacting standards for demanding medium-to-thick material cutting applications.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - the flat-triple chip tooth form with a negative hook angle of -6 deg. reduces the risk of blade grab and chipping when cutting non-ferrous metals and plastics, resulting in smoother, safer cuts on demanding materials.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, meaning less downtime for blade cleaning and longer intervals between blade changes.
• 96 Carbide-Tipped Teeth - a high tooth count across a 400mm diameter blade delivers finer surface finishes on aluminum, brass, copper, and plastic workpieces, reducing secondary finishing work.
• 3.5mm Kerf with 3mm Plate - this precise kerf-to-plate ratio minimizes material waste and heat buildup during cuts, helping extend blade life when processing thick tubes and drawn profiles.
• 50mm Arbor - sized to fit a wide range of professional miter saws and stationary table saws, providing secure, wobble-free mounting for accurate, repeatable cuts.
• Designed for Medium to Thick Material (exceeding 5 mm) - the blade's geometry and tooth configuration are optimized specifically for drawn products and tubes above 5 mm thickness, so you get consistent performance where lighter blades may struggle.
• Compatible with Miter Saws, Stationary Table Saws, and Double Miter Saws - broad tool compatibility means this single blade can serve multiple machines in a shop, reducing the need to stock multiple specialized blades.

Why This Product

• The Silver I.C.E. Coating actively prevents resin and metal residue build up on the blade surface, keeping the blade running cooler and cleaner cut after cut - directly reducing maintenance time in high-volume cutting environments.
• With a -6 deg. hook angle and TCG grind, this blade is purpose-built to handle aluminum profiles, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic with controlled, smooth cutting action rather than aggressive biting, which reduces the chance of workpiece damage.
• At 400mm in diameter with 96 teeth and a 50mm arbor, this blade fits professional-grade stationary table saws and miter saws while delivering the tooth count needed for quality cuts on medium-to-thick drawn products and tubes.
• Freud specifies use with the sawblade over the workpiece to be cut, giving operators a clear, verified setup recommendation that supports safe and effective use right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is verified for use on plastic, vinyl, aluminum, brass, and copper. It is specifically designed for aluminum and non-ferrous metals in the medium-to-thick range, including drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5 mm.

Which tools is this blade compatible with?

This 400mm blade with a 50mm arbor is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. Always confirm your machine accepts a 400mm blade diameter and 50mm arbor before mounting.

What is the recommended orientation when using this blade?

Freud recommends using this sawblade with the blade positioned over the workpiece to be cut. Following this setup guidance supports safe and effective cutting performance on medium-to-thick drawn profiles and tubes.

What does the Silver I.C.E. Coating do, and why does it matter?

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents build up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner. In practical terms, this helps reduce friction and heat during cuts on aluminum and other non-ferrous materials, which can extend the usable life of the blade and reduce the frequency of cleaning between uses.
