Freud 8 in. Plastic Cutting Saw Blade is engineered specifically for cutting plexiglass and a wide range of plastics, delivering clean, smooth results on materials that are prone to melting or chipping under ordinary blades. Featuring a 64-tooth configuration, a Modified Triple Chip Grind (MTCG) tooth design, and Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Plastic Blend tips, this specialty blade is built for professional-grade performance on miter saws, radial arm saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws alike. Whether you are working with acrylic sheet, polycarbonate panels, laminate, or chipboard, this 8 in. circular saw blade provides the precision and material control that demanding cutting applications require.

Key Features

• Premium TiCo HI-Density Carbide Plastic Blend tips - delivers maximum cutting performance and extended edge retention when working through demanding plastic and laminate materials.
• Modified Triple Chip Grind (MTCG) tooth design - enables the material to remain cool while cutting, directly eliminating the melting that commonly occurs when cutting plastics with standard blades.
• Negative hook angle of -3 deg. - produces a superior finish by preventing the blade from grabbing the material, resulting in cleaner edges and improved control during each pass.
• Silver Ice Coating on the blade plate - actively resists corrosion and pitch build-up, helping maintain consistent cutting performance and extending the usable life of the blade.
• 64-tooth count with a.110 in. kerf - provides the fine cutting geometry needed to produce smooth, crisp edges on plexiglass and plastics across a depth-of-cut range of 1/4 in. to 1 5/8 in.
• 5/8 in. arbor size - offers broad compatibility with miter saws, radial arm saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws that accept this standard arbor.
• Thin.087 in. plate - reduces material waste at the cut line and contributes to the reduced heat generation that keeps plastic edges crisp and clean.

Why This Product

• The MTCG tooth design combined with a -3 deg. negative hook angle works together to keep plastic materials cool and controlled during the cut, solving the two most common problems when sawing plexiglass - melting and chipping.
• Compatibility with four saw types - miter saw, radial arm saw, stationary table saw, and portable table saw - means this single specialty blade can move between different machines in a shop or on a job site without requiring a separate blade for each tool.
• The Silver Ice Coating protects the blade plate against corrosion and pitch accumulation, reducing maintenance downtime and keeping the blade cutting accurately over repeated use.
• A depth-of-cut range of 1/4 in. to 1 5/8 in. gives this blade practical flexibility across a wide variety of plastic cutting tasks, from thin sheet stock to thicker laminate and chipboard panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this blade use a Modified Triple Chip Grind instead of a standard tooth grind?

The Modified Triple Chip Grind (MTCG) tooth design is specifically engineered to allow plastic materials to remain cool during the cut, eliminating the melting that occurs when plastics are cut with conventional blade grinds. This makes it well suited for plexiglass, acrylic, polycarbonate, and similar thermoplastic materials that are heat-sensitive.

What is the depth-of-cut range supported by this blade?

This blade supports a depth-of-cut range of 1/4 in. to 1 5/8 in., making it practical for a variety of plastic sheet thicknesses and laminate panel applications.

Which saws are compatible with this blade?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, radial arm saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws that accept a 5/8 in. arbor. Always confirm your saw's arbor size and blade diameter capacity before mounting any blade.

What materials can this blade cut beyond plexiglass?

In addition to plexiglass, this blade is rated for cutting plastic, laminate, and chipboard. It is a specialty blade designed for these categories and is not intended as a general-purpose wood cutting blade.
