Freud 8" Medium Stock Aluminum Blade is a specialty non-ferrous metal cutting blade engineered for clean, precise cuts through aluminum, brass, and copper. Built around a 60-tooth configuration with a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) and a -5 deg. hook angle, this 8" circular saw blade is purpose-built for medium non-ferrous material applications where finish quality and tool longevity matter. Whether you are working with a miter saw, a stationary table saw, or a portable table saw, this blade delivers the cutting performance needed for wall thicknesses up to 1/4 in. Maximum.

Key Features

• Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Non-Ferrous Blend for Maximum Performance - Freud-formulated TiCo carbide is specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals, meaning the cutting edges stay sharper longer and extend overall tooth life compared to general-purpose carbide blends.
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) - This specialized grind pattern is optimized for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper, producing a cleaner, more consistent finish on each cut and reducing the risk of chipping or grabbing.
• Thin Kerf at.091" - A thinner kerf removes less material per pass, allowing for a faster feed rate and reduced waste, which translates to more efficient cuts and lower material cost over time.
• Silver Ice Coating - This protective coating resists corrosion and pitch build-up on the blade body, helping the blade stay cleaner during use and maintain consistent performance over its service life.
• -5 deg. Hook Angle - A negative hook angle is intentional for non-ferrous metal cutting because it reduces the tendency of the blade to grab or self-feed, giving the operator greater control and a smoother cut.
• 60 Teeth - A higher tooth count on this 8" blade means more cutting edges contact the material per rotation, resulting in a finer finish that is well suited to medium stock aluminum and other soft metals.
• 5/8 in. Arbor - A standard 5/8 in. arbor size ensures broad compatibility with miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws commonly found in woodworking and metalworking shops.

Why This Product

• Freud-made TiCo carbide is specifically formulated for nonferrous metals - not a generic carbide blend - so the blade is engineered from the ground up for cutting aluminum, brass, and copper rather than adapted from a wood-cutting design.
• The combination of a thin.091 in. kerf and a 60-tooth count means you get both faster feed rates and a finer finished surface, reducing the need for secondary finishing work on cut edges.
• Silver Ice Coating actively fights corrosion and pitch build-up, helping the blade maintain its cutting geometry and appearance over repeated use in demanding non-ferrous cutting environments.
• Compatibility with three tool types - miter saw, stationary table saw, and portable table saw - makes this a versatile choice for shops and job sites that use different saw setups for non-ferrous metal fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is rated for cutting aluminum, brass, and copper - all non-ferrous metals. It is specifically designed for medium non-ferrous material applications with a wall thickness of 1/4 in. Maximum. It is not intended for ferrous metals or wood.

What saws is this 8" blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws equipped with a 5/8 in. arbor. Always confirm your saw's arbor size and maximum blade diameter rating before installing.

What does the TCG grind mean for my cuts?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This grind pattern is specifically suited for non-ferrous metal cutting. It helps produce a cleaner finished edge on materials like aluminum, brass, and copper compared to grind styles designed for wood or ferrous metals.

Why is a thin kerf important when cutting non-ferrous metals?

This blade features a.091 in. kerf, which is thinner than standard full-kerf blades. A thin kerf removes less material per pass, allowing for a faster feed rate and reduced waste. This is especially beneficial when working with costlier non-ferrous metals like copper and brass where minimizing material loss matters.
