Circular Saw Blade Drel 255 x 30 mm, 100T, carbide-tipped (aluminium)

Drel circular saw blade 255 x 30 mm, 100 teeth, carbide-tipped and designed specifically for cutting aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. The blade features fine-pitched carbide (widia) teeth that produce smooth, burr-reduced edges on sheets, panels and profiles. It fits table saws and miter (crosscut) saws with a 30 mm bore and is intended for precise, repeatable metalworking cuts where surface quality and minimal material deformation matter.

Advantages

The carbide-tipped teeth ensure extended cutting life and resist wear when working with softer metals. A high tooth count (100T) provides a fine finish and reduces the need for secondary deburring. The blade geometry and tooth distribution are optimized for aluminium to minimise chip welding and clogging, delivering consistent feed and reduced vibration during cuts.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium sheets and panels
• Working with non-ferrous metal profiles (e.g., brass, copper)
• Precision crosscuts and rip cuts on table saws and miter saws with 30 mm arbor
• Applications requiring clean edges for subsequent finishing or assembly

When it may not be suitable

This blade is not intended for cutting ferrous metals such as structural steel or stainless steel; using it on hard steels will accelerate wear and can damage the carbide tips. It is also not optimal for cutting wood, laminates or abrasive materials where tooth geometry and carbide grade differ; using the blade on inappropriate materials may reduce cutting quality and blade life.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 255 mm
• Bore (arbor) size: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 100
• Tooth material: carbide (widia) tips
• Primary use: aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• Suitable machines: table saws and miter (crosscut) saws with matching arbor

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw with a 30 mm arbor, ensuring correct mounting orientation and that flange faces and arbor are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate feed rates and low to moderate cutting speeds recommended for aluminium to avoid heat buildup. Secure the workpiece properly and use support or clamping to prevent vibration. If necessary, apply a suitable cutting lubricant for aluminium to improve chip evacuation and prevent gumming. Inspect the blade regularly for built-up material and clean carbide tips to maintain cutting performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your saw’s arbor diameter is 30 mm or use an appropriate reducer/adapter if compatible and safe.
• Ensure the blade’s tooth count and carbide tipping match your required finish and feed rates for aluminium.
• Verify that you will primarily cut aluminium or other non-ferrous metals, not ferrous or highly abrasive materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results with aluminium, run the saw at recommended RPM for the blade size, feed steadily without forcing the cut, and consider a light cutting lubricant to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Periodic cleaning of the carbide tips extends blade life and preserves edge quality.
