Triple-Chip Tooth Grind for Precise Metal Saw Cuts
Built to make quick, exact work of trimming and reshaping
aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous metals, this blade
features teeth with a triple-chip grind. In this configuration,
each flat-top tooth is followed by a trapezoidal tooth that's
slightly higher. The trapezoidal tooth delivers a precut slot
that's narrower than the final kerf, so the flat-top teeth can
leave a finish that's clean and true.Also offering custom
designed gullets that minimize chip buildup, this blade is
designed for optimal performance when cutting metal walls that
are less than 1/4-inch thick. It has a 1-inch arbor and produces
a 0.142 kerf.
Freud recommends that you use a liquid lubricant, like WD40, when
cutting metals with this blade.
Well-Balanced, Anti-Vibration Design
This Freud blade is precision balanced and pretensioned for truer
cuts under heavy loads. It also features laser-cut,
anti-vibration slots that reduce chatter for a cleaner finish,
longer blade life, and reduced noise while you work. And because
the entire blade is laser cut from high-strength steel, you can
trust that it will stay stable, flat, and true, even after
prolonged use.
High-Density Carbide for Maximum Cutting Performance
This thick-stock saw blade's 100 teeth are finished with tips
made from Freud's application-specific TiCo high-density carbide
"non-ferrous blend." Formulated to extend tooth life in the face
of demanding metalwork applications, this blend is extra
impact-resistant--due to including more cobalt than other TiCo
blends--and it still offers the mix of improved strength,
density, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance that you
expect from TiCo.
With teeth that start out sharper and deliver improved edge
retention, the blade can go longer between sharpening, and will
hold up longer--saving you time and money.
Silver I.C.E. Coating Resists Corrosion and Heat Buildup
This blade is finished with Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating, which
resists corrosion for improved performance over time. This unique
coating also resists heat buildup, protecting your saw and your
work surface and preventing the blade from warping. Its non-stick
surface also helps prevent unwanted buildups. All this translates
to less drag on the motor of your saw, which means longer tool
life and longer blade life.
This industrial saw blade is backed by Freud's limited lifetime
warranty.
