Industrial Thin Stock Non-Ferrous Metal Blades
Cutting Thin Aluminum And Other Non-Ferrous Metals
This blade produces a smooth, burr-free finish when cutting thin aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metal extrusions. A high tooth count with a 5-degree hook angle allows the teeth to slice efficiently through the material without binding. The requirements on the cutting edge greatly differ with nonferrous metals than with cutting wood. With this in mind, Freud formulated a special carbide with high impact strength for this blade. Freud recommends use of a liquid lubricant when cutting non-ferrous materials. This can be accomplished with a spray of WD-40 or other similar type of lubricant every 4 or 5 cuts. Wax sticks are not recommended.
"
- Positive Hook Angles produce a smoother cut with less materialdistortion and burr free cuts
"
- Freud-Made TiCo Carbide specifically designed to cut non-ferrous metals extends tooth life and withstands impact
To determine if the metal you wish to cut is non-ferrous, hold the metal next to a magnet. If it attracts the magnet, it is a ferrous metal and should not be cut with a non-ferrous blade.
