Freud Mitre Saw Blade - 305 x 30 x 80T

Perma-SHIELD Protection is a non-stick, anti-corrosion coating that reduces friction, prevents resin buildup, and provides thermal insulation. This leads to longer blade life, less downtime for cleaning, and more durable cutting performance.

Yes, it can cut softwood, but its 80-tooth count is optimized for smoother finishes in harder materials. For very rapid, rough cuts solely in softwoods, a blade with fewer teeth might be faster, though potentially less clean.

Use a dedicated blade cleaner or a mild degreaser with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid abrasive materials. Ensure the blade is dry after cleaning to prevent rust.

'80T' refers to the 80 teeth on the blade. A higher tooth count generally results in a smoother, cleaner cut, especially on harder materials and for finish work.

Yes, this Freud Multi-Material blade is designed to cut materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, along with wood, plastics, and composites.

The bore size of this blade is 30mm.

The premium steel body provides strength and durability, while the special rolled-in tension ring ensures maximum stability, accuracy, and blade flatness, leading to precise and clean cuts.

Ensure the blade is sharp and free from buildup. Verify the tooth count is appropriate for the material (80T is best for harder materials). Check saw speed and ensure the blade is securely mounted and not warped.

Confirm the blade is correctly installed and tensioned. Ensure the expansion slots are clear of debris. Check that the saw's arbor is clean and the blade is not damaged. Use the correct RPM for the material being cut.

Clean the blade immediately after use with a suitable blade cleaner. The Perma-SHIELD coating helps reduce buildup, but regular cleaning is still necessary, especially with plastics and composites.

Verify the saw's alignment and ensure the blade is running true on the arbor. Check that the blade is not dull or damaged. Make sure the material is securely clamped to the saw's fence and table.
