FOXBC 10 Inch Metal Steel Cutting Saw Blade 52 Teeth, 1" Arbor

The FOXBC 10 Inch Metal Cutting Saw Blade is designed for clean, fast metal fabrication without the intense heat and mess of abrasive wheels. Equipped with 52 Triple Chip Grind (TCG) teeth made from fine-grain ceramic and metallic carbide, this blade targets steel cutting tasks across job sites and metal shops. It fits standard metal-cutting setups requiring a 10-inch blade with either a 1-inch arbor or a 5/8-inch bore via the included bushing.

In daily operation, thermal management and cut speed stand out. The blade produces cuts up to 50 times cooler than standard grinding discs, which can raise metal temperatures by up to 500 degrees and permanently discolor steel surfaces. It also cuts up to 10 times faster than grinding discs, finishing passes up to 60 seconds faster in metals and stainless steels. The ceramic carbide construction offers superior wear resistance and high heat tolerance, delivering up to 25 times the life of standard abrasive alternatives.

To maintain clean results, the blade incorporates an optimized geometry with a .0787-inch kerf that reduces metal deflection and wandering. Advanced laser-cut stabilizer vents absorb noise and suppress vibration. This steady operation keeps the cut straight and true, minimizing the need for secondary clean-up or re-work on finished edges.

Keep in mind the operating boundaries before mounting this blade. It has a strict maximum rating of 3000 RPM, meaning it cannot be used on high-speed wood saws or standard high-RPM abrasive chop saws. It also requires adherence to specific material dimensions: tubing walls must be between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch, solid plates between 1/4 inch and 1 inch, and solid rods between 1/2 inch and 2 inches.

Verdict: The FOXBC 10-inch 52T blade is an excellent pick for metal fabricators and contractors who need clean, cool, and precise cuts through studs, angle iron, conduit, and solid steel stock. It is a solid upgrade over abrasive grinding discs if your saw operates within the 3000 RPM limit.

• Blade Diameter: 10 inches
• Tooth Count: 52 TCG
• Kerf Width: .0787 inches
• Arbor Size: 1 inch (with 5/8-inch bushing included)
• Maximum Speed: 3000 RPM
• Tooth Material: Ceramic carbide (ceramic and metallic)
• Tubing Capacity: 1/8-inch min to 1/2-inch max wall thickness
• Plate/Bar Capacity: 1/4-inch min to 1-inch max thickness
• Solid Rod Capacity: 1/2-inch min to 2-inch max diameter

A great fit if you:

• Cut steel studs, angle iron, EMT conduit, pipes, or threaded rods regularly
• Want cool-to-the-touch cuts that prevent heat discoloration on stainless and carbon steel
• Need faster cutting speeds than traditional abrasive grinding wheels can deliver
• Own a compatible metal-cutting saw that runs at or below 3000 RPM

Consider something else if you:

• Need to cut sheet metal thinner than 1/8 inch or solid bars thicker than 1 inch
• Have a saw that exceeds the 3000 maximum RPM rating

What saw arbor sizes does this blade fit?
It comes with a standard 1-inch arbor hole and includes a 5/8-inch bushing for saws with smaller arbors.

What is the maximum operating speed?
The blade is rated for a maximum speed of 3000 RPM.

What metal thicknesses can this blade cut?
It is rated for studs and tubing with wall thicknesses from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch, solid plates and bars from 1/4 inch to 1 inch thick, and solid rods between 1/2 inch and 2 inches in diameter.

How does this blade compare to standard grinding discs?
It provides up to 50 times cooler cuts, up to 10 times faster cutting speeds, and up to 25 times longer working life compared to standard grinding discs.
