The Freud 500mm Medium to Thick Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped cutting disc designed for professionals who demand clean, reliable results when working with aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl. With a generous 500mm diameter, a 120-tooth count, and a 50mm arbor, this non-ferrous metal cutting blade is built for demanding stationary applications where accuracy and blade longevity matter. The flat-triple chip grind geometry and positive hook angle work together to deliver smooth, burr-reduced cuts through solid drawn products, making it a dependable choice for fabricators, metalworkers, and tradespeople cutting material between 2mm and 10mm thick.

Key Features

• Flat-triple chip tooth grind (TCG) with a 10 deg. positive cutting angle - this geometry is optimized for non-ferrous metals and plastics, reducing chipping and producing cleaner cut edges on aluminum, brass, and copper profiles.
• 120 carbide-tipped teeth on a 500mm diameter blade body - the high tooth count delivers finer, smoother cuts and reduces the amount of finishing work needed after each pass through your workpiece.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating on the blade surface - this coating prevents material build-up on the blade and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner during extended cutting sessions, extending the usable life of the tooth edges.
• 4mm kerf with a 3.2mm plate thickness - the kerf-to-plate ratio provides blade stability during cutting while removing a controlled amount of material, reducing waste and helping maintain straight, accurate cuts.
• Designed to cut solid drawn products with a thickness between 2mm and 10mm - this clearly defined usage range means you can match the blade to your actual workpiece dimensions with confidence, avoiding the risk of using an under-specified blade.
• Compatible with Miter Saw, Stationary Table Saw, and Double Miter Saw - broad machine compatibility means this blade can move between workshop setups without needing a separate blade for each tool.
• Tri-Metal Brazing process bonding the carbide tips to the blade body - this technique, which uses copper sandwiched between two layers of silver alloy, creates a stronger and more impact-resistant bond, reducing the risk of tip separation under the stresses of cutting hard non-ferrous metals.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for medium to thick non-ferrous materials - rated specifically for solid drawn products from 2mm to 10mm thick, this blade is correctly specified for aluminum extrusions, brass bar, copper pipe, and similar profiles rather than being a general-purpose compromise.
• Multi-material versatility in a single blade - the combination of TCG grind geometry and positive cutting angle makes this blade effective across aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl, reducing the number of specialist blades required in a busy workshop.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating for sustained performance - by actively preventing build-up and keeping the blade cooler during use, the coating helps maintain consistent cut quality over time, reducing downtime caused by cleaning or premature blade changes.
• Tri-Metal Brazing for impact-resistant carbide bonding - the copper-and-silver-alloy brazing process creates a more durable connection between the carbide tips and the plate body, giving the blade greater resilience when cutting harder non-ferrous metals like brass and copper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material thickness range is this blade designed to cut?

This blade is designed to cut solid drawn products with a thickness included between 2 and 10 mm. It is categorized specifically as a Medium to Thick non-ferrous cutting blade, so it is best matched to workpieces that fall within that defined range.

Which machines is this 500mm blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with a Miter Saw, a Stationary Table Saw, and a Double Miter Saw. Always verify that your specific machine accepts a 500mm diameter blade with a 50mm arbor before fitting the blade.

What does the Silver I.C.E. Coating do, and why does it matter for cutting non-ferrous metals?

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents build-up on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner during use. When cutting aluminum, copper, or brass - materials that can leave deposits on a blade - this coating helps maintain cutting efficiency and extends the intervals between cleaning or replacement.

What is Tri-Metal Brazing and why is it used on this blade?

Tri-Metal Brazing is a bonding process in which copper is sandwiched between two layers of silver alloy to join the carbide tips to the blade body. This method creates a stronger, more impact-resistant bond compared to simpler brazing techniques, which is especially important when cutting harder non-ferrous metals like brass and copper that can place significant stress on the carbide tips during each cut.
