The Diablo D1080N 10 in. x 80-Tooth Medium Aluminum Saw Blade is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade built for cutting medium non-ferrous metal and plastics. This is a circular saw blade designed for clean, controlled cutting in aluminum, copper, brass, fiberglass, plastics, melamine, and similar materials. Model Number: D1080N. If you run a 10 inch miter saw, sliding miter saw, or table saw and need a blade for cleaner finished cuts in non-ferrous stock, this is the right kind of blade for that job.

What separates this blade from a general-purpose wood blade is the tooth design and the way Diablo built it for these materials. The 80-tooth layout and triple chip grind tooth geometry are aimed at producing a smoother edge with less burr formation, which is exactly what you want when you are cutting aluminum trim, copper pipe, brass plate, plastic sheet, or fiberglass panels. The super-thin kerf design also helps the blade move through the cut with less effort, which can make feed feel smoother and reduce drag on the saw.

Diablo backs the cutting edge with TiCo high-density carbide, and that matters because non-ferrous cutting is hard on teeth. The blade also uses tri-metal shock-resistant brazing to help the carbide tips handle impact and stay attached under tough conditions. Add in laser-cut stabilizer vents for reduced vibration and lower noise, and you get a blade that is built to stay more accurate and hold up better over time, especially when you are making repeated cuts in aluminum extrusions or plastic stock.

Heat and material buildup are common problems when cutting plastics and non-ferrous metals, so the Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating is not just a cosmetic add-on. It helps resist heat, gumming, and corrosion, which can keep the blade cutting more consistently and make cleanup easier. For users doing finish-sensitive work, that combination of coating, grind, and stabilization is a big part of why this blade is a better choice than a basic framing or rough-cutting blade.

On the fit side, the Diablo D1080N 10 in. x 80-Tooth Medium Aluminum Saw Blade has a 10 inch diameter, a 5/8 inch arbor, and a maximum speed rating of 7,000 RPM. That makes it a practical match for many 10 inch miter saws, slide miter saws, and both portable and stationary table saws that accept this blade size and arbor. It is a single-purpose accessory in the best sense: not a do-everything blade, but a blade built to do this kind of work better.

This blade makes the most sense for metal fabricators, finish carpenters working with aluminum profiles, sign installers, remodelers cutting plastic trim or sheet goods, and serious DIY users who want cleaner cuts from the saws they already own. If your work involves non-ferrous metal cutting, plastic cutting, or burr-free finish work where edge quality matters, this is the kind of blade worth buying instead of trying to make a wood blade do a job it was never meant to do.

Diablo D1080N 10 in. x 80-Tooth Medium Aluminum Saw Blade for Cleaner Finish Work

This is the blade you buy when edge quality matters more than just getting through the cut.

• Who it's for: Anyone cutting aluminum trim, copper, brass, plastics, fiberglass, or similar non-ferrous materials on a 10 inch miter saw or table saw.
• Why it stands out: The 80-tooth triple chip grind setup, TiCo carbide, stabilizer vents, and non-stick coating make this a purpose-built non-ferrous blade instead of a compromise blade.
• Worth knowing: This is a specialized cutting blade, not a general framing blade. If your main goal is clean non-ferrous and plastic cutting, that specialization is exactly why it works so well.
