Crescent Circular Saw Blade CSBAM-1296 12 Inch 96T TCG Carbide Active Shield Coating Bare Tool (Aluminum Brass Copper Plastic Cutting Tool)

Crescent CSBAM-1296 12-Inch 96-Tooth Non-Ferrous Carbide Circular Saw Blade Bare Tool

The Crescent CSBAM-1296 12-Inch 96-Tooth Circular Saw Blade Bare Tool executes burr-free cuts in non-ferrous metals and synthetic materials. Engineered with High Velocity tungsten carbide teeth in a Triple Chip Grind geometry, this blade maintains structural cutting edges across aluminum extrusions, copper tubing, and thick plastic sheeting. The Active Shield non-stick finish reduces friction-induced heat, protecting against material gumming and pitch corrosion during continuous miter saw operations.

Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

• Aluminum Framing Fabrication: Cutting clean, burr-free miter angles in heavy aluminum extrusions and window channels.
• Non-Ferrous Pipe Sizing: Executing smooth perpendicular cuts through brass fittings and copper piping.
• Plastic & Composite Sizing: Crosscutting dense PVC schedules, acrylic panels, and fiberglass sheets without edge melting.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• High Velocity Carbide Tips: Premium tungsten carbide formulation extends tooth longevity during high-friction alloy crosscuts.
• 96-Tooth TCG Profile: Triple Chip Grind layout alternates flat and trapezoidal tooth geometries to prevent grabbing in soft metals.
• Active Shield Non-Stick Finish: Protective coating guards against gumming, resin build-up, and thermal deformation.
• Thin Kerf Design: Minimizes swarf volume and reduces draw on corded and cordless saw drive motors.
• Laser-Cut Vibration Slots: Dampens blade resonance and thermal expansion to ensure straight, chatter-free cuts.
