5-3/8" 50-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR ALUMINUM & NON-FERROUS METALS

The Benchmark Abrasives 5-3/8" 50-Tooth TCT saw blade is designed for clean, controlled cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Its 50-tooth configuration and TCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry make it a strong choice when cut quality matters, helping produce smoother edges with less finishing work than a coarse-tooth general-purpose blade.

Built for compatible compact circular saws, this blade combines a thin 0.063" kerf with durable tungsten carbide-tipped teeth for efficient cutting through aluminum sheet, extrusion, bar stock and similar non-ferrous materials. A 20 mm arbor with included 5/8" and 10 mm bushings expands machine compatibility while allowing the blade to be properly matched to the saw.

Product Specifications

Product Features

• 50-tooth configuration provides a balance of efficient cutting and a cleaner finished edge.
• TCG tooth geometry is designed for controlled cutting of aluminum and non-ferrous materials.
• Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a durable cutting edge for repeated use.
• 0.063" thin kerf removes less material during the cut and helps reduce cutting resistance.
• 20 mm arbor with 5/8" and 10 mm bushings provides multiple mounting options for compatible saws.
• 4,200 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

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

This blade is particularly useful for fabrication, installation, repair and shop applications where a cleaner cut in aluminum is preferred over the rougher edge typically associated with more aggressive cutting methods.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 5-3/8" and certain 5-1/2" circular saws that accept the blade diameter, arbor configuration and operating speed.

Verify the grinder manufacturer permits a toothed saw blade; confirm the required guard, flange/mounting hardware, 7/8" arbor fit and direction of rotation. The grinder's no-load speed must not exceed 13,500 RPM.

Common compatible machine brands may include:

• Bosch®
• DeWalt®
• Makita®
• Panasonic®
• Skil®
• Ryobi® 5-1/2" saws

Always verify your saw's blade diameter, arbor size and operating RPM before installation. The saw must be designed to accept the blade and must not exceed the blade's 4,200 RPM maximum rating.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

For aluminum and non-ferrous cutting, tooth count influences both cutting speed and edge finish.

With 50 teeth on a compact 5-3/8" blade, this blade is well suited for applications where a controlled cut and clean edge are important.

Tips for Better Blade Performance

• Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
• Allow the blade to cut at a controlled feed rate rather than forcing the saw through the material.
• 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.
• A saw blade lubricant or cutting wax can help reduce aluminum buildup on the teeth during demanding applications.
• Never exceed the blade's 4,200 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 and maintain control of the saw throughout the cut.

• Wear appropriate eye, face, hearing, and respiratory protection for the material being cut.

• 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.
