FAQs

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is specifically engineered for cutting aluminium. While it might cut some softer metals, its performance and durability are optimized for aluminium.

Can I use this blade on a corded saw?

While designed for cordless tools to leverage its efficiency, you can use it on a corded saw if it matches the blade's specifications (250mm diameter, 30mm bore) and RPM requirements for aluminium cutting.

How does the extra coating benefit performance?

The extra coating reduces friction, preventing heat buildup and protecting the blade from corrosion. This leads to smoother cuts and extends the blade's lifespan.

What does 'extra-thin kerf' mean for my cordless tool?

An extra-thin kerf means the blade removes less material with each pass. This requires less power, reducing the load on your cordless saw's motor and helping to conserve battery life.

How do I clean the blade after use?

Use a stiff brush and a suitable solvent to remove aluminium residue. Ensure the blade is dry before storing.

Will this blade leave burrs on the cut edge?

The sharpened fine carbide teeth are designed to make precise cuts with minimal to no burrs, reducing the need for rework.

What is the T78 designation?

T78 refers to the number of teeth on the blade (78 teeth). This tooth count is optimized for clean and efficient cutting of aluminium.

Troubleshooting

Blade not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blade is sharp and free from aluminium buildup. Check that the blade is mounted correctly and spins freely. Verify you are using appropriate cutting speed for aluminium.

Excessive heat generation

The anti-friction coating is designed to minimize heat. If excessive heat persists, check for binding in the material or ensure the blade's kerf is not too thick for the material thickness.

Blade causing excessive vibration

Ensure the blade is properly balanced and securely fastened. Check for any damage or warping on the blade.

Reduced cutting speed

Clean the blade of any residue. Ensure your saw is operating at the correct RPM for cutting aluminium. Check if the battery on your cordless saw needs recharging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability for cutting aluminium.
  • Provides precise, burr-free cuts.
  • Reduces friction, extending cordless tool battery life.
  • Anti-friction coating protects against heat and corrosion.
  • Minimizes rework needed after cutting.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for aluminium; may not perform optimally on other materials.
  • Higher initial cost compared to general-purpose blades.
  • Requires a compatible cordless circular or mitre saw for optimal use.
  • Specific tooth count (T78) is optimized for aluminium, not general wood cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the blade is securely mounted to your cordless circular saw or mitre saw, using the appropriate reduction ring if necessary for the arbor size. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines for blade installation.

Compatibility: This blade is specifically designed for cutting aluminium. It is compatible with most standard cordless circular saws and mitre saws that accept a 250mm blade with a 30mm bore. Always check your saw's specifications.

Care: After use, clean the blade to remove any aluminium residue. A stiff brush and a suitable solvent can be used. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid using the blade for materials other than aluminium to maintain its optimal cutting performance and longevity.
