As is known to all, it is important to choose different saw blades for cutting different raw materials such as solid wood, metal, panel and aluminum. This is the right article about this topic.

Generally speaking, the TCT circular saw blade can be used to cut aluminum material, during the TCT circular saw blade manufacture process, there is alloy tool bit which was inlaid on it. Because be careful that if there is no such tool bit, and only with steel plate. It would not be the saw blade. When talking about the types of cutting aluminum saw blades, it is can be divided into rough cutting requirement and fine cutting requirement, for example, if it is used to cut radiator, the cutting requirements would be higher and it is needed to take fine cutting, on the other hands, if it is used to cut ordinary aluminum materials, the cutting requirements would be relatively lower.

As you know, there are different saw teeth shapes such as right-left saw teeth, high-low saw teeth, reversed ladder-shaped saw teeth and so on. When choosing TCT circular saw blade for Aluminum material, it is recommended to use high-low saw teeth.

Sometimes, ...
... people want to cut Aluminum material with HSS saw blade, at the time, you should be careful that whether the using working table is HSS working table or the Aluminum material working table.

If you are likely to use circular saw blade to cut super thin Aluminum pieces, it is better to choose saw blade with 100 T or 120 T, meanwhile, if you want to cut thick Aluminum pieces or just slotting, the number of saw teeth should be less, for example, saw blade with 40T, 60T or 80T would be better.

In addition to these common using tips, sometimes people would have some questions about circular saw blade or cemented carbide saw blade. Here are two common questions and meanwhile I give the answer for them.

Question number one, can you tell me the difference between alloy and cemented carbide? Or they are the same thing but with different appellations.

Answer for this question, Yes, they are in fact the same thing but with different appellations. Sometimes it is named as the TCT circular saw blade.

Question number two, I don’t know why sometimes the Aluminum material can not be cut with HSS saw blade?

Answer for this question, in fact, the answer is given above because of different working table.
