Circular Saw Blade Norton Clipper 250mm 30mm 80T for Aluminum (2.8/2.0) N70184608138

The Norton Clipper 250mm circular saw blade with a 30mm bore and 80 teeth is designed for cutting aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. The blade specifies a plate and kerf thickness of 2.8/2.0 mm, a geometry that balances rigidity and a thin cut to deliver accurate, burr-minimised results in aluminium profiles, sheets and sections. It is intended for use on compatible manual and table circular saws and is made by Norton Clipper, a manufacturer known for metal cutting solutions.

Advantages

This 250mm Norton Clipper blade offers a high tooth count (80T) that provides fine, precise cutting lines and reduced chipping on aluminium edges. The 2.8/2.0 mm plate/kerf specification helps to limit material waste while maintaining blade stability during cuts. The combination of tooth geometry and appropriate carbide tips yields smoother finishes and consistent performance when cutting non-ferrous alloys.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium profiles and extrusions
• Trimming aluminium sheets and panels
• Working with non-ferrous metal sections such as brass and copper
• Use in manual circular saws and table saws with a 30mm arbor

When it may not be suitable

This blade is optimised for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals and is not intended for cutting ferrous steels or hardened materials. Using it on steel or abrasive materials will accelerate wear and can damage the carbide tips. It may also produce slower cutting rates on very thick sections compared with blades specifically designed for heavy-duty metal cutting.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 250 mm
• Bore (arbor): 30 mm
• Tooth count: 80 teeth
• Plate / kerf thickness: 2.8 mm / 2.0 mm
• Material focus: aluminium and other non-ferrous metals
• Recommended machine type: manual and table circular saws compatible with 250 mm blades

How to use

Install the blade on a circular saw with a 30mm arbor ensuring correct mounting direction and secure fastening according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions. Use appropriate feed speed and steady, even pressure to avoid overheating the blade and workpiece. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant if recommended for the specific aluminium alloy to reduce heat and improve finish. Allow the blade to cool between long cutting runs and inspect carbide tips regularly for wear or damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your saw accepts a 250mm diameter blade and a 30mm arbor.
• Check that the blade is suitable for the specific aluminium alloy and thickness you will cut.
• Ensure your saw’s speed (RPM) falls within the safe operating range for this blade diameter.
• Consider whether a different tooth count or blade geometry is better for very thin or very thick material.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting aluminium with the Norton Clipper 250mm 80T blade, use a steady feed rate, moderate cutting speed, and apply light lubrication on alloys that tend to gall. Keep the blade clean of built-up material and replace the blade when tooth wear degrades cut quality to maintain safe and precise operation.
