The 12-inch Freud LU90M012 Thin Stock Non-Ferrous Metal Cutting
Saw Blade delivers smooth, burr-free finish when cutting thin
aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Featuring 120 teeth with
TiCo high-density carbide tips and Freud's Silver I.C.E. coating,
which helps reduce heat buildup and prevent corrosion, this
thin-stock blade is built to stand up to the demands of frequent
use and tough metalwork applications.
High Tooth Count and Triple-Chip Grind for Burr-Free Finishes
Built to make quick, exact work of trimming and reshaping
thin-wall materials crafted from aluminum, copper, or other
non-ferrous metals, this blade features a large proportion of
small teeth finished 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. Each tooth also
features a positive 5-degree hook angle, which enables the blade
to move efficiently and without binding.Also offering custom
designed gullets that minimize chip buildup, this blade is
designed for optimal performance when cutting metal walls that
are less than 1/16-inch thick. It has a 1-inch arbor and produces
a 0.118 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 thin-stock saw blade's 120 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--once again, 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.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Looking to size down those aluminum window frames without
damaging them? The LU90M series blades are designed specifically
for this task. They quickly and smoothly cut thin, nonferrous
metal extrusions without damaging delicate profiles. A multitude
of specially designed micrograin, carbide tips, along with a
positive hook angle enable these blades to slice quickly and
cleanly through material without binding. Tri-metal brazing means
more impact resistance and longer blade life. With laser cut
blade bodies and expansion slots, this blade offers all the
quality that professional cabinetmakers have come to expect from
Freud.
FEATURES
* Laser cut blade bodies and expansion slots for a cooler, faster
blade
* Kickback reducing design for smoother, more accurate cuts and
no marring
* Thick Micro-Grain carbide tips can be sharpened several times
* Tri-metal brazing for optimal durability
