The Freud LU89M014 14" Thick Stock Aluminum Metal Blade is built for serious aluminum work. When you’re cutting non-ferrous metals, you want a blade that not only finishes cleanly but also lasts through demanding jobs. This heavy-duty design delivers just that—reliable performance, exceptional finish, and real value on every cut.

• Excellent finish on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals: engineered for smooth, ripple-free cuts that minimize post-cut deburring.
• Custom gullets to minimize chip build-up: engineered spacing keeps chips flowing away, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life.
• Specially formulated carbide for longevity: designed to resist wear while maintaining a sharp edge even after many cuts through thick stock.
• Practical lubrication guidance: Freud recommends a liquid lubricant during use—spray WD-40 or a comparable lubricant every 4 to 5 cuts—to maximize life and maintain a clean cut. Wax sticks are not recommended.

This blade is the go-to choice for professionals and serious hobbyists who regularly work with aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. It’s especially well-suited for fabricators and shops tackling thick-stock aluminum, heat sinks, extrusions, and automotive components where precision and finish matter as much as blade life.

Why this blade stands out

• Finish-first performance: the combination of blade geometry and carbide chemistry yields a polished edge that requires less finishing work downstream.
• Built for longevity: rugged construction and optimized tooth design stand up to repeated cuts in thick aluminum stock, reducing downtime for blade changes.
• Controlled cutting with less heat: efficient chip evacuation and reduced adhesion mean cooler operation and a truer cut surface.

Use cases and guidance

Ideal for making precise crosscuts and rip cuts in thick aluminum stock, whether you’re fabricating a custom frame, trimming automotive panels, or producing components for cabinetry and metalwork. For best results, pair with a steady feed rate and secure clamping to prevent deflection. Use a light lubricant as recommended to maintain edge sharpness and finish quality over time.
