The Freud 500mm Medium to Thick Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade is a premium carbide-tipped cutting blade engineered for demanding metalworking and fabrication tasks. Featuring 120 teeth and a 30mm arbor, this Italian-made blade is purpose-built to cut drawn products and tubes whose thickness exceeds 5mm, making it a reliable choice for professionals working with aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic stock. The Triple Chip Grind tooth geometry and Silver I.C.E. Coating work together to deliver cleaner cuts, reduced heat buildup, and extended blade life across a range of stationary and miter saw setups.

Key Features

• Flat-triple chip tooth with positive cutting angle - the TCG grind geometry is specifically suited for non-ferrous metals and plastics, producing clean, precise cuts with reduced chipping or burring on the workpiece.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - prevents material buildup on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner, which helps extend cutting performance and reduces the need for frequent cleaning during heavy use.
• 120 teeth at 500mm diameter - the high tooth count across a large-diameter blade translates to smoother, finer cuts through medium to thick aluminum and non-ferrous stock, ideal for precise fabrication work.
• -6 deg. hook angle - the negative hook angle provides greater control and a safer cut when working through aluminum tubes and drawn profiles, reducing the tendency for the blade to grab or self-feed.
• 4mm kerf with a 3.2mm plate thickness - this combination balances material removal efficiency with structural blade rigidity, helping maintain consistent cut accuracy during stationary and miter saw operations.
• Compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws - broad tool compatibility means this blade integrates into a wide variety of professional shop setups without the need for additional hardware.
• Sold as a single blade (Pack Quantity: 1) - each listing includes one complete saw blade, so you get exactly the unit you need for your application.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for drawn products and tubes with a thickness exceeding 5mm, this blade addresses a precise cutting need that general-purpose blades are not optimized to handle, giving fabricators a dedicated tool for medium to thick non-ferrous stock.
• The Silver I.C.E. Coating actively resists the gummy, adhesive buildup that aluminum and copper are known to cause on saw blades, helping maintain cut quality over longer production runs without constant blade maintenance.
• The TCG grind paired with a -6 deg. hook angle is engineered for safer, more controlled cutting of aluminum, brass, copper, vinyl, and plastic - reducing the risk of aggressive blade engagement and improving operator confidence during cuts.
• With compatibility across miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws, this blade offers flexible deployment across multiple machine types, making it a practical investment for shops running varied equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can this blade cut?

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

What is the recommended orientation when using this blade?

The product usage guidance states that it is recommendable to use the sawblade over the workpiece to be cut. This over-the-workpiece positioning is the advised technique for optimal results when cutting drawn products and tubes exceeding 5mm in thickness.

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

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents buildup on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner. This is especially valuable when cutting non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper, which can deposit soft, sticky material onto the blade during use.

Which saws is this blade compatible with?

This 500mm blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. It has a 30mm arbor, so verify your machine's arbor size matches before installation to ensure a proper fit.
