Precision-Engineered for Aluminium. Built to Outlast the Job.
The IDEAL TCT Blade [Aluminium] is a 355mm (14") mitre saw accessory engineered specifically for cutting aluminium and non-ferrous metals. Featuring 100 Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) teeth, a 35mm bore, and a maximum cutting speed of 4000 RPM / 80 m/s, this blade delivers ultra-fine, burr-free cuts with professional-grade consistency, built for tradespeople who demand precision on every pass.

- 100-Tooth TCT Geometry for Flawless Aluminium Cuts: The blade's 100 finely spaced Tungsten Carbide Tipped teeth are specifically ground for non-ferrous metals. This high tooth count reduces the chip load per tooth, producing an exceptionally smooth cut surface on aluminium profiles, flat bar, and extrusions — minimising the need for secondary deburring or filing.
- 355mm (14") Diameter with 35mm Bore — Wide Compatibility: The 355mm blade diameter is the industry-standard size for heavy-duty cold-cut and mitre saws used in metal fabrication. The 35mm bore ensures a secure, centred fit on compatible machines, eliminating vibration and maintaining cut accuracy across extended use.
- 4000 RPM / 80 m/s Maximum Cutting Speed — High-Throughput Performance: Rated to operate at up to 4000 RPM and 80 metres per second, this blade is designed for professional-grade machines running at full capacity. The high-speed rating means faster cycle times per cut without sacrificing surface quality — critical for production environments and busy trade sites.
- Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) Construction — Long Service Life: Each tooth is tipped with Tungsten Carbide, one of the hardest commercially available cutting materials. TCT teeth resist heat build-up, abrasion, and edge chipping far better than standard HSS blades, making this an economical long-term investment for regular aluminium cutting operations.
- Engineered for Minimal Burring — Cleaner Results, Less Rework: The blade's tooth geometry and cutting angle are optimised to shear aluminium cleanly rather than tear it. The result is a cut edge that requires little to no post-processing, saving time on every cut and delivering a professional finish that meets the standards of architectural metalwork, window fabrication, and structural installations.
The IDEAL TCT Blade [Aluminium] is supplied ready to mount. It is CE marked and manufactured to relevant safety standards for TCT circular saw blades, ensuring compliance for professional use across the GCC and international markets. The blade arrives individually packaged with protective blade guard to preserve tooth integrity during storage and transport.
General Purchase & Comparison Queries
Is this blade compatible with my mitre saw?
The IDEAL TCT Blade [Aluminium] has a 355mm (14") diameter and a 35mm bore, which is the standard specification for most heavy-duty cold-cut and mitre saws designed for metal cutting. Before purchasing, verify that your saw accepts a 355mm blade diameter and has a 35mm arbor. If your machine uses a different bore size, reduction rings may be available separately — consult your saw's manual for compatibility details.
How does this TCT blade compare to a standard HSS blade for aluminium?
Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blades significantly outperform High-Speed Steel (HSS) blades for aluminium cutting in several ways. TCT teeth are harder, retain their edge far longer under heat and friction, and produce a much cleaner cut surface with minimal burring. While HSS blades are cheaper upfront, they dull faster and require more frequent replacement. For professional or regular use, the IDEAL TCT blade offers a lower cost-per-cut and a superior finish quality.
Can this blade cut materials other than aluminium?
This blade is specifically engineered for aluminium and non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, and certain plastics. It is not designed for cutting ferrous metals (steel, iron) or wood. Using it on ferrous materials will rapidly damage the TCT teeth and may create a safety hazard. For best results and longest blade life, use it exclusively on the non-ferrous materials it was designed for.
Product-Specific and Usage Queries
What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?
The IDEAL TCT Blade [Aluminium] is rated to a maximum cutting speed of 4000 RPM and 80 m/s. Never exceed this speed rating. Always check that your mitre saw's no-load RPM does not exceed the blade's maximum rating before mounting. Operating a blade beyond its rated speed is a serious safety risk and will void any applicable warranty.
Do I need to use cutting fluid or lubricant when using this blade on aluminium?
For light to medium cutting tasks, the 100-tooth TCT geometry of this blade is designed to cut aluminium cleanly without mandatory lubrication. However, for heavy-duty, continuous, or high-volume cutting, applying a suitable aluminium cutting fluid or wax lubricant to the blade is recommended. Lubrication reduces heat build-up, prevents aluminium from welding to the carbide tips (a phenomenon known as "chip welding"), and extends blade life considerably.
How do I know when the blade needs to be replaced or resharpened?
Key indicators that your blade needs attention include: increased cutting resistance requiring more feed pressure than usual; rough or torn cut edges with excessive burring; visible chipping or rounding of the carbide teeth; or burning or discolouration on the cut material. TCT blades can often be professionally resharpened multiple times before full replacement is needed, making them a cost-effective long-term tool investment.
Problem/Solution-Oriented Queries
The blade is leaving rough edges or burrs on my aluminium cuts — what should I do?
Rough edges are typically caused by one of three issues: a dull or damaged blade, incorrect feed rate, or unsupported workpiece vibration. First, inspect the TCT teeth for chips or wear. If the blade is in good condition, slow your feed rate — pushing aluminium through too quickly overloads the teeth. Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped and fully supported on both sides of the cut. Applying a light cutting lubricant can also improve surface finish significantly.
Aluminium is sticking or welding to the blade teeth during cutting — how do I fix this?
Aluminium chip welding to carbide teeth is caused by excessive heat and friction, usually from too slow a feed rate, a dull blade, or dry cutting at high volumes. The solution is to apply a suitable cutting wax or aluminium cutting fluid to the blade before and during use. Increase your feed rate slightly to reduce dwell time per tooth. If build-up has already occurred, carefully clean the teeth with a carbide-safe solvent and a brass brush — never use steel tools on TCT teeth as they can cause micro-chipping.
The blade vibrates excessively during cutting — what could be causing this?
Excessive vibration during cutting usually points to one of the following: incorrect bore fit (the 35mm bore must match your saw's arbor precisely — use the correct reduction ring if needed); a warped or damaged blade (inspect the blade plate for flatness); loose blade mounting (ensure the arbor nut is torqued correctly per your saw's specification); or an unbalanced or worn saw spindle. Always mount blades on a clean, undamaged arbor flange and ensure the workpiece is fully clamped before cutting.
