Freud's 550mm thin to medium aluminum and non-ferrous cutting blade is engineered for precision sawing of drawn aluminum products, tubes, brass, copper, vinyl, and polymeric panels on miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. With 148 teeth and a TCG (triple chip grind) tooth profile at a 5 deg. hook angle, this 550mm carbide-tipped circular saw blade delivers clean, accurate cuts through non-ferrous metals and plastic materials, making it a dependable choice for fabricators and tradespeople who demand consistent results from every pass.

Key Features

• 148-Tooth TCG Grind - the flat-triple chip tooth geometry with a positive cutting angle produces smooth, burr-reduced cuts through aluminum, brass, copper, and polymeric materials, minimizing post-processing cleanup.
• Silver I.C.E. Coating - this protective surface coating prevents material build-up on the blade and keeps it running cooler and cleaner during extended cuts, helping maintain cutting performance over time.
• Silent Sawblade Design - noise and vibration are dampened by the blade's construction, contributing to a more comfortable and controlled cutting environment during demanding applications.
• 5 deg. Hook Angle - the positive hook angle supports controlled feed rates through non-ferrous metals and plastics, reducing the risk of material grab or chipping on thin-walled tubes and drawn profiles.
• 4.2mm Kerf with 3.5mm Plate - the precise kerf-to-plate ratio optimizes blade stability and minimizes material waste when cutting thin to medium thickness stock between 2mm and 5mm, as well as polymeric panels up to 20mm.
• 32mm Arbor Bore - sized to fit a wide range of professional stationary table saws, miter saws, and double miter saws, making installation straightforward on compatible machines.
• Mechanical Clamping Design - supports secure blade mounting for consistent, repeatable cuts across high-volume production or workshop environments.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for cutting drawn products and tubes with a thickness between 2mm and 5mm, as well as polymeric panels up to 20mm - matching the blade's specification precisely to the task at hand reduces blade wear and improves cut quality.
• Compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws - this versatility means one blade can serve multiple machines in a shop, offering practical flexibility for varied cutting setups.
• The Silver I.C.E. Coating works to keep the blade surface clear of built-up aluminum and plastic residue, which helps sustain cutting efficiency without frequent interruptions for blade cleaning.
• At 550mm in diameter with 148 teeth, this blade is suited for larger-format cuts on professional-grade equipment, providing the reach and tooth count needed for consistent performance on non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

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

Which saws is this 550mm blade compatible with?

The blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and double miter saws. The 32mm arbor bore should be confirmed to match your machine's arbor specification before installation.

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

The Silver I.C.E. Coating is a surface treatment that prevents build-up on the blade during use and helps keep the blade running cooler and cleaner, which supports sustained cutting performance across longer work sessions.

What tooth geometry does this blade use?

The blade features a flat-triple chip tooth (TCG grind) with a positive cutting angle of 5 deg. This geometry is well suited for cutting non-ferrous metals and polymeric materials with reduced chipping and improved surface finish on cut edges.
