Freud 500mm Thin to Medium Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Saw Blade with Mechanical Clamping is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped circular saw blade designed for cutting aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous metals, as well as plastic and vinyl materials. Built with a 140-tooth configuration and a 32mm arbor, this large-format blade delivers smooth, controlled cuts in drawn products, tubes, and polymeric panels - making it a reliable choice for fabricators and machinists who demand accuracy and clean results on non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Flat-triple chip tooth (TCG grind) with positive cutting angle - the Triple Chip Grind geometry combined with a 5 deg. hook angle reduces cutting forces on non-ferrous metals and polymeric materials, resulting in cleaner edges and less burring on finished cuts.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating on the blade surface - this protective coating prevents material buildup on the blade and keeps it running cooler and cleaner during extended use, helping to maintain cutting performance and extend blade service life.
• Silent Sawblade design - engineered to reduce vibration and noise during operation, which improves cutting stability and creates a more controlled working environment, particularly during repeated or production-level cuts.
• 140-tooth count on a 500mm diameter blade - the high tooth count across this large-diameter blade produces fine, smooth cuts in aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and vinyl without requiring secondary finishing in many applications.
• 4mm kerf with a 3.2mm plate thickness - this combination provides sufficient clearance to prevent blade binding while minimizing material waste per cut, which matters when working with higher-value non-ferrous stock.
• Compatible with miter saws, double miter saws, and stationary table saws - broad tool compatibility means this blade can be used across multiple machine setups in the same shop without purchasing separate blades for each tool type.
• Rated for drawn products and tubes with a wall thickness of 2-5mm, and polymeric panels up to 20mm - knowing the exact material thickness range helps operators match this blade to the right job and avoid overloading the cutting edge.

Why This Product

• The Silver I.C.E. Coating actively prevents residue buildup that commonly occurs when cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, keeping the blade cleaner over time and reducing the need for frequent cleaning interruptions.
• With 140 teeth on a 500mm blade and a TCG grind geometry, this blade handles a wide range of materials - from thin aluminum tubing to copper profiles to plastic panels - with a single blade rather than requiring multiple specialty blades for each material type.
• The Silent Sawblade construction minimizes vibration, which directly contributes to cut accuracy and surface quality, particularly important when working with finished aluminum extrusions or precision plastic components where surface marks are unacceptable.
• Compatibility across three distinct tool types - miter saw, double miter saw, and stationary table saw - means this blade integrates into a variety of existing shop setups with a standard 32mm arbor, reducing the need for adapters or special mounting hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

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

Which machines is this blade compatible with?

This 500mm blade with a 32mm arbor is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws.

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

The Silver I.C.E. Coating prevents buildup on the blade surface and keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner during use. This helps maintain cutting performance over time and reduces the frequency of cleaning required when working with non-ferrous metals and polymeric materials.

What does the Silent Sawblade feature mean in practice?

The Silent Sawblade design reduces vibration and noise during cutting. Lower vibration contributes to more stable, accurate cuts and a quieter working environment - particularly beneficial during repeated or extended cutting operations on aluminum profiles and plastic panels.
