Product Specification

12" 100-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR ALUMINUM & NON-FERROUS METALS

The Benchmark Abrasives 12" 100-Tooth TCT saw blade is designed for clean, controlled cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals on compatible low-RPM dry-cut saws. Its 100-tooth configuration provides a strong balance of cutting efficiency and smoother edge quality, making it a versatile choice for fabrication and shop work where finish matters.

Durable tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and TCG (Triple Chip Grind) geometry help produce consistent cuts through aluminum extrusion, sheet, bar stock and similar non-ferrous materials. The 0.118" kerf and 1" arbor are designed for compatible 12" saws operating at or below the blade's 2,000 RPM maximum speed.

Product Specifications

Product Features

• 100-tooth configuration provides a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and smoother edge quality.
• TCG tooth geometry is designed for controlled cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
• Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a durable cutting edge for repeated use.
• 0.118" kerf provides a stable cutting path through aluminum extrusion, sheet, and stock.
• 1" arbor fits compatible 12" low-RPM dry-cut saws.
• 2,000 RPM maximum speed identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

• Aluminum
• Aluminum extrusion
• Aluminum sheet
• Aluminum bar
• Aluminum profiles
• Aluminum die castings
• Brass
• Copper
• Bronze
• Other similar non-ferrous metals

The 100-tooth configuration is well suited for fabrication, installation and finish-conscious shop work where a cleaner edge is important without moving all the way to the highest tooth-count option.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 12" low-RPM dry-cut saws that accept a 1" arbor and operate within the blade's maximum speed rating.

Always verify your saw's blade diameter, arbor size and operating RPM before installation. The saw must be designed to accept a 12" blade with a 1" arbor and must not exceed the blade's 2,000 RPM maximum rating.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

Within Benchmark's 12" aluminum blade lineup, the 100-tooth blade is the balanced choice, providing a smoother finished edge than the 80T while maintaining more cutting efficiency than the 120T.

Tips for Better Blade Performance

• Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
• Use a steady, controlled feed rate and allow the blade to do the cutting.
• Keep aluminum chips clear of the cutting area.
• Inspect the blade before use for damaged, missing, or excessively worn teeth.
• Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines.
• Saw blade lubricant or cutting wax can help reduce aluminum buildup on the teeth during demanding applications.
• Never exceed the blade's 2,000 RPM maximum operating speed.

Safety

• Use only on saws designed to accept this blade diameter and arbor configuration.
• Never install the blade on a machine that exceeds the blade's maximum RPM.
• Keep all factory guards installed and properly functioning.
• Inspect the blade before every use. Do not use a cracked, warped, or damaged blade.
• Secure the workpiece before cutting and maintain control throughout the cut.
  
• Wear appropriate eye, hearing, and respiratory protection for the material and application.
• This blade is designed for aluminum and non-ferrous metal cutting. Use a Benchmark TCT blade specifically designed for steel/ferrous metals when cutting steel.
