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.
