Step 2: What Material Are You Cutting?
Now that you've selected your saw type, choose the material you're cutting. This will direct you to the best blade options for your exact application.
-
Aluminum
Aluminum requires blades with negative or neutral rake angles and wider gullets to prevent chip buildup. For cold saws, use high-tooth-count HSS blades. For dry-cut saws, use carbide-tipped blades designed for non-ferrous metals.

Mild / Carbon Steel
This is the most common application. Blade choice depends on wall thickness and feed type. Manual saws can use M2 black oxide, while production saws should upgrade to M35 with TiAlN for heat resistance.

Stainless & High-Alloy Steel
Stainless and exotic alloys are tough on blades. Use M35 cobalt blades at reduced speeds. TiAlN coating is highly recommended. Cermet-tipped blades are ideal for CNC saws in high-production settings.
