Produces Smooth, Quiet Cuts with Laser-Cut Kerf
The Freud D1296N's clean-cutting design means that you can enjoy the comfort of smooth performance. The thin 0.091-inch kerf between the blade's 96 TCG (triple-chip grind) teeth is laser cut to provide ease of feed, so you have more control over the blade's position. This helps maximize both the accuracy of the cut and the efficiency of your work, so you enjoy a job well done and the ability to complete more tasks in less time.

An added bonus, the blade's laser-cut stabilizer vents reduce noise and vibration during operation, keeping your work environment more relaxed and your hands more in control. This feature also reduces friction and warping, helping to extend the blade's cutting life.

Features Shock-Resistant Carbide for Long-Lasting Precision
So you can count on it over the long term, the Freud D1296N is designed for durability. The blade's hardy teeth are protected by Freud's exclusive shock-resistant TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formula, which helps fight wear and tear and maintains blade sharpness up to four times longer than standard carbide. And protecting the blade is Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating that provides resistance to heat and corrosion.

Fits Miter Saws
The Freud D1296N is a great addition to your workshop because it's designed with the versatility to fit a variety of miter saws, including sliding miter saws.

This review is from: Freud D1296N Diablo 12-Inch 96 Tooth TCG Non-Ferrous Metal and Plastic Cutting Miter Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor (Tools & Home Improvement)

Needed to cut a bunch of aluminum fencing. The instructions with the fencing just said use an electric miter saw. Nothing about what kind of blade. That would have been a catastrophe, as googling will tell you. And I didn't want to damage my 12" Makita sliding Compound Miter Saw, imo the best miter saw available at that radius or smaller. So I bought this blade and am very glad I did. Still, I went fairly slowly through the complex extrusion, and if there was any play against the fence, there was a tendency for blade grab. It has to be rock flush to the fence. Not the glass smooth cut that the stock Makita blade makes in wood, but that can not be expected. Cutting flexible plastic rail lining was more dicey, and some chipping of the plastic even with very slow feed occured. I doubt there would have been any trouble with more rigid plastic, such as pipe. A cutoff bonded carbide blade can really mess up your wood saw, thus this is the blade to get for non-ferrous. Hasn't seem to dull in hundreds of cuts. Very tough carbide, very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Saw Blade for Cutting Aluminum & Non-Ferrous-Metal, October 17, 2008

This review is from: Freud D1296N Diablo 12-Inch 96 Tooth TCG Non-Ferrous Metal and Plastic Cutting Miter Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor (Tools & Home Improvement)

Bought this blade to use with a DeWalt DW716 12" compound miter saw. I have a lot of jigs, fixtures, and miscellaneous shop equipment that I build from 1"x1" extruded aluminum tubing. This blade cuts through them like a hot knife through butter. Very pleased with the purchase, and I anticipate getting many years of use out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good blade... aluminum beware., November 5, 2011

I used mine to miter railing and other complex (aluminum) extrusions for an Ikea hacking project. Like another reviewer said, it really does slice through effortlessly. If you take your time with the cuts, the edges do come out like in machined, factory cuts. And yes, it makes super smooth cuts in pine (i.e. high tooth count). This is my second Diablo; love em.
