12 in. Cut-Off Saw Blade, 40T TCG

Description

For crosscutting non-ferrous metal, solid surface, PVC trim board, fiber cement, and composite materials on 12 in. saws, triple chip grind geometry outperforms ATB. This 40-tooth TCG blade on a 1 in. bore covers the non-wood cutting tasks that would chip or crack a standard crosscut blade. Triple chip geometry positions alternating flat-topped trapper teeth alongside chamfered raker teeth that scrape rather than shear — the action that prevents brittle fracture and edge chipping in dense composites and non-ferrous metal. At 40 teeth, deeper gullets between teeth maintain useful chip clearance when cutting materials that produce fine powder or stringy debris rather than wood shavings. The 1 in. bore fits large sliding table saws and production crosscut saws in the 12 in. class. Carbide tips are ground to TCG geometry to handle abrasive materials through production-level use. Shops processing mixed material streams — cutting aluminum extrusions, plastic sheet, and composite building materials alongside wood on the same saw — benefit from keeping a 12 in. TCG blade dedicated to non-wood operations, preserving ATB blade edge life for finish wood crosscutting.
