Product Specification

12" 80-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR ALUMINUM & NON-FERROUS METALS

The Benchmark Abrasives 12" 80-Tooth TCT saw blade is designed for efficient, controlled cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals on compatible low-RPM dry-cut saws. As the lowest tooth-count option in our 12" aluminum blade lineup, the 80T favors faster cutting while still delivering the clean edge quality needed for fabrication, production and general shop work.

Durable tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and TCG (Triple Chip Grind) geometry provide consistent cutting performance through aluminum extrusion, sheet, bar stock, profiles 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

• 80-tooth configuration favors efficient cutting while maintaining a clean finished edge.
• 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 80-tooth configuration is particularly well suited for fabrication, production cutting and general shop applications where cutting efficiency is important without sacrificing a clean aluminum edge.

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 80-tooth blade favors faster cutting, while the 100T and 120T options progressively favor a smoother finished edge.

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.
