Diablo's next - gen aluminum saw blades are a game - changer. They're great for cutting thin (up to 1/8”), medium (3/32” - 1/4”), and thick (3/16” - 7/16”) aluminum metals. These blades are built with Diablo TiCo™ Super - Density Micro - Grain Carbide. This special carbide offers an extremely long cutting life and clog - free cuts. It can withstand impacts, reduces wear, and outlasts standard carbide in metal cutting jobs. The Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry boosts the blade's life, speed, and durability, resulting in clean, burr - free cuts. No more rework! The Tri - Metal Shock Resistant Brazing allows the blades to slice through metal materials while handling extreme impacts for top - notch durability. They also feature Laser - Cut Stabilizer Vents to trap noise and reduce vibration, ensuring accuracy and a long lifespan. The Perma - SHIELD® Non - Stick Coating protects against heat, gumming, and corrosion. Ideal for cutting thin aluminum, plastics, copper, brass, and fiberglass, these blades work well with both corded and cordless saws for non - ferrous metals like aluminum extrusions, copper pipes, and brass plates. Technical specs: Arbor 1', Diameter 12', Hook Angle - 5°, Kerf.091', Plate.071', Teeth 120, Max RPM 5000.
Using this saw blade is easy. First, make sure your saw's arbor size matches the blade's arbor size (1'). Then, carefully install the blade on your saw, following the saw's manual for proper installation. When cutting, start with a slow speed and gradually increase it. This helps prevent the blade from overheating and ensures a clean cut. Remember, these blades are great for cutting aluminum, plastics, copper, brass, and fiberglass, but don't use them on ferrous metals. Safety is important. Always wear safety goggles and gloves when operating the saw. Also, keep your hands away from the blade while it's in motion. For maintenance, after each use, clean the blade with a soft brush to remove any debris. You can also use a non - abrasive cleaner to remove any gumming or residue. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If you notice any damage to the blade, like chipped teeth or bent plates, stop using it and replace it immediately.
