12-Inch 100 Tooth TCG Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metal Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor

Used to cut some basic 4040 Aluminum Extrusion with a Dewalt Mitre Saw. The blade made clean cuts with not much pressure required. I’m very happy with this blade.

I have a Makita saw that was made for cutting metal. This blade worked perfectly for me in cutting the aluminum bars I use for making my product. Very little burring, nice smooth finish. I could not ask for more.

I was pleasantly surprised with this saw blade. It fit perfectly on my miter saw. I used it to cut 2020 extruded aluminum to multiple sizes for a build project I'm doing. Every single cut was very smooth and burr free. It cut through the aluminum with ease, no problem at all. I probably made between 50 and 60 cuts in the first three hours of having it on the saw. I highly recommend this blade, it proved itself right off the bat.

Purchased this 12 inch saw blade to mount on Dewalt 12 inch chop saw. Need to shorten a by pass door track fit in a doorway. Made sure the teeth of the blade were mounted in the correct orientation. Also made sure that the track was secured to the chop saw table while cutting.....very important. Started the saw and slowly cut through the aluminum extrusion. No problem. Cut was smooth and I was very pleased with result. Will need to cut through several other tracks in the near future. I don't plan on using this blade in a production unit, or for an extended period of time, but for the tasks that I needed to get done, this blade did what I need for it to do. Well worth the money.

Bought this to cut some handrail aluminum tubing - small DIY project so didn't want to spend a lot on a blade for my miter saw. This blade worked great and ran smoothly - well balanced. I saw a few reviews stating it cut poorly and teeth broke off quickly, which sounded like people mounting the blade backwards, so I discounted those reviews in my mind and bought the blade. After receiving the blade, I'd be willing to wager that the blade being installed backwards was exactly the case in the bad reviews. The blade is only printed on one side, and that printing is on the back side, opposite of the side most blades are printed. Intuitively, many will think the printing is supposed to face them as they tighten the nut, but that's wrong in this case. Also the direction of rotation could be more clearly indicated on the side that is printed. There is an arrow, but it's a larger design that looks more like part of a logo, and there's no printed text stating "rotation". I've deducted one star for making it so easy to mount the blade backwards due to the above reasons.

As with most of the reviews, I can't comment as to longevity. However, the cutting I've done with it so far has been very good for the price. I am cutting 3 1/4" x 1" aluminum extrusions that have another aluminum extrusion and rubber seal on the inside. I also tried cutting some plywood with it and it worked well. Not the fastest of course, but it was a clean and easy cut. It arrived quickly and was well packaged in a reusable container which is nice since this blade likely won't spend much time on the saw since I primarily use it for cutting wood rather than aluminum.

I order this for my fence contractor to cut 4x4 aluminum post that are 1/8” thick. This thing cut thru all 45 posts like butter! See picture of the posts… the cuts are clean, low vibration, and hold up well. I end up also doing two small decks - and the blade also got that job done. For those say the quality isn’t good…. I’m pretty certain are user error. 1) you have to have a quality miter like a Dewalt or Mikita. A junk miter would not run fast enough for the blade to cut thru. 2) don’t just drop the blade the second you press the button on the miter. As with all cutting, let the blade run for few seconds and then put it down. If the blade slow down, take it easy. For the money of the blade, it’s worth every penny even if it’s just got these two jobs done. Im certain I’ll get more done with it in the years to come! I’m keeping this blade on my machine! Best $$ spend!

I used the blade to cut some aluminum fence posts. Cut like butter, very impressed.
