Circular saw blade Norton Clipper 255 mm x 30 mm, 80 teeth, for aluminium

The Norton Clipper circular saw blade 255 mm x 30 mm with 80 teeth is designed for precise cutting of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. With a 255 mm diameter and a 30 mm bore, this blade fits stationary and portable circular saws that accept these dimensions. The high tooth count and tooth geometry deliver smooth, burr-reduced cuts in profiles, sheets and extrusions commonly used in metalworking and fabrication.

Advantages

This saw blade provides high cutting accuracy and a fine surface finish due to its 80-tooth configuration. It reduces burring and the need for secondary finishing on aluminium components. The blade construction is optimized for heat management and chip evacuation when cutting non-ferrous metals, improving life span under normal use conditions. Compatibility with standard 255 mm x 30 mm saw arbors makes it suitable for a range of workshop saws.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium sheets, profiles and extrusions
• Precision trimming of non-ferrous metal parts
• Stationary bench saws and portable mitre or circular saws that accept 255×30 mm blades
• Metalworking and light fabrication tasks requiring fine-edge finishes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 255 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Tooth count: 80 teeth
• Material application: aluminium and other non-ferrous metals
• Intended use: stationary and portable circular saws compatible with 255 mm blades

How to use

Install the blade on a saw whose arbor and flange support a 255 mm diameter, 30 mm bore blade, ensuring proper orientation of the cutting teeth. Follow the saw manufacturer's instructions for safe mounting, tightening and guard positioning. Use recommended feed rates and blade speeds for aluminium to avoid excessive heat build-up; in many cases a moderate feed with steady pressure produces the best finish. Secure the workpiece and use appropriate clamps or fixtures to prevent movement during cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting lubricants or coolants where appropriate for thicker aluminium sections to reduce heat and extend blade life. Inspect the blade before each use for damage or dulling, and replace it if teeth are chipped or worn. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, and follow all safety guidelines for metal cutting operations.
