7-1/4" 80-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR ALUMINUM & NON-FERROUS METALS
The Benchmark Abrasives 7-1/4" 80-Tooth TCT saw blade is designed for smooth, precise cutting of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Its high 80-tooth count and TCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry prioritize edge quality, making it an excellent choice for finish-sensitive cuts where minimizing burrs and secondary cleanup matters.
Built for compatible corded and cordless circular saws, this blade combines durable tungsten carbide-tipped teeth with a 0.075" kerf for controlled cutting through aluminum sheet, extrusion, bar stock and similar non-ferrous materials. A 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout provides fitment flexibility for compatible saws using either arbor configuration.

Materials & Applications
Best For
Aluminum
Aluminum extrusion
Aluminum sheet
Aluminum bar
Aluminum profiles
Brass
Copper
Bronze
Other similar non-ferrous metals
The higher 80-tooth count makes this blade especially useful for fabrication, installation and finish-sensitive work where a smooth cut edge and reduced post-cut cleanup are priorities.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 7-1/4" corded and cordless circular saws that accept a 5/8" arbor or compatible diamond knockout configuration.
Always verify your saw's blade diameter, arbor configuration and operating RPM before installation. The saw must be designed to accept the blade and must not exceed the blade's 5,800 RPM maximum rating.
Choosing the Right Tooth Count
With 80 teeth on a 7-1/4" blade, this is the more finish-focused option when smoother edges take priority over maximum cutting speed.
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 5,800 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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
This blade is designed for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, including brass, copper, and bronze. It is well suited for aluminum sheet, extrusion, bar, and profiles where a clean finished edge is important.
A higher tooth count generally produces a smoother finished edge than a lower-tooth-count blade of the same diameter. The 80-tooth configuration makes this blade particularly useful for finish-sensitive aluminum cutting where minimizing burrs and cleanup is a priority.
Choose the 60-tooth blade when you want a balance of cutting speed and edge quality for general-purpose aluminum cutting. Choose the 80-tooth blade when a smoother finished edge is the higher priority.
Higher tooth counts are generally better suited to thinner material and finish-sensitive cuts because more teeth remain engaged with the material during cutting. For thicker stock or applications where faster cutting is more important, a lower-tooth-count blade may be the better choice.
TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth geometry alternates cutting profiles to distribute the cutting action across the teeth, helping provide controlled cutting, good edge quality, and tooth durability in aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
The blade has a 5/8" arbor with a diamond knockout. The knockout allows the arbor opening to be adapted for compatible saws that use a diamond-shaped drive configuration. Only remove the knockout when required by the saw manufacturer.
No. This blade is designed for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Use a Benchmark Abrasives TCT blade specifically designed for steel/ferrous metal when cutting steel.
The blade is designed for compatible 7-1/4" corded and cordless circular saws that accept its 5/8" arbor or diamond knockout configuration and operate at or below 5,800 RPM. Always verify blade diameter, arbor fit, and machine RPM before installation.
Lubricant is not required for every application, but saw blade lubricant or cutting wax can help reduce aluminum buildup on the teeth and maintain smooth cutting performance during demanding applications.
Slower cutting, increased cutting effort, or declining edge quality can indicate a dull blade. A structurally sound blade may be professionally sharpened. Replace any blade that is cracked, warped, or has damaged or missing teeth.
