The Freud Difference
Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. By overseeing the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, Freud guarantees some of the highest quality, most advanced products in the industry.
About Freud's Avanti Blades
Freud's Thin Kerf (TK) Series of blades provide precise, quality cuts for most every application. The advanced thin kerf design removes less material -- thereby reducing the strain on your equipment and increasing the life of your saw. The slim design requires less cutting power from both you and the saw, making it ideal for underpowered saws. A Silver I.C.E. coating on all Freud TK blades helps reduce friction, heat build-up and gumming, thus extending the life of the blade by as much as 50 percent.
About this Non-Ferrous Metal Cutting Saw Blade
The Freud 10-inch 80-tooth non-ferrous metal and plastic cutting saw blade is an ideal blade for on-the-job cutting of nonferrous metals such as copper pipe, aluminum extrusions, and brass plate. For easy use and added precision, the blade features an anti-kickback design and Tri-Metal Brazing for impact resistance. The blade has expansion slots that are strategically placed to allow for blade-body expansion from centrifugal force and thermal expansion during actual use. The slots are used to prevent air turbulence and eliminate vibration as well.
Applications
Use this blade to cut through non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, and lead up to 1/4-inch thick. Also, this blade is ideal for cutting plastic materials such as PVC, vinyl, acrylic, and polycarbonates.
