Austsaw ALYC1602060 160mm x 60T Aluminium Blade Triple Chip

The Austsaw Aluminium Blade Triple Chip is a circular saw blade for cutting aluminium, copper tube, plastics and wood, with a triple chip tooth grind and a hardened and tempered body (manufacturer-stated). This page lists 11 codes from 160mm to 350mm diameter.

Austsaw states that the triple chip design limits the amount of material cut by each tooth and makes the blade virtually impossible to over feed or grab (manufacturer-stated). Austsaw also states that lubricant must be used when cutting aluminium (manufacturer-stated). All codes have a -5° rake angle and a 16mm bush supplied with the bore.

The Austsaw catalogue groups the blades by saw type: the 160mm and 185mm sizes are listed for cordless saws, the 210mm to 235mm sizes for circular saws, and the 254mm to 350mm sizes for mitre saws. The maximum speed falls from 5,800 RPM on the smaller blades to 4,200 RPM on the 305mm and 350mm blades, so check the blade against the maximum speed of your saw.
