Review on πŸͺš Oshlun SBNF-120120: Top-Quality 12-Inch TCG Saw Blade for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals by Tyrone Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This blade is crazy!

For the money this is a bargain. With this blade in my DeWalt miter box, I cut through what appeared to be a mile of aluminum U-profile, and it went right through. ONE IMPORTANT POINT: You must use a lubricant when cutting aluminum or the aluminum will melt and fuse with the carbide tips of ANY blade, quickly destroying it, including this one. The best and most practical lube I've found is wax. You can use Relton Stick-Kut, Castrol or Boelube wax stick. These types of lubricants are packed in gun barrels and applied to the sides and teeth of the blade about every twenty cuts. You can also use beeswax, paraffin or a candle. If you use these lubes, this blade should last forever. Another important point is that the work MUST be securely fastened. I made a mount using De-Sta-Co clamps for my miter box that held the aluminum channel I cut out very securely, making the whole process very secure. In short, a super blade at a super price.
