Freud D053830FMX Ferrous Metal Saw Blade 30 Tooth

Product Description

The FREUD D053830FMX is a 5-3/8 inch, 30-tooth ferrous metal circular saw blade engineered for fast, accurate cuts through steel studs, steel pipe, and steel sheet. Built under the Diablo Steel Demon line, it features a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth design that produces clean, burr-free cuts and extends blade life. A laser-cut thin kerf design reduces material waste and speeds up each pass. The Perma-Shield permanent coating resists gumming, limits corrosion, and reduces heat buildup during continuous cutting operations. This blade is intended for professional tradespeople working with ferrous metals on-site or in fabrication settings.

This blade is best suited for cutting mild steels under 1/8 inch thickness. Typical applications include framing work involving steel studs, mechanical and plumbing rough-in involving steel pipe, and light sheet metal work. The 20 mm arbor fits most compact circular saws and specialty metal-cutting saws that accept 5-3/8 inch blades. It is sold in a package of 3 units, making it a practical choice for contractors who go through blades on active job sites. Laser-cut stabilizer vents reduce vibration during the cut, improving accuracy and operator control.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or experienced operator with the saw fully powered down and unplugged before beginning. Confirm the saw arbor size matches the 20 mm bore before mounting. Use the appropriate blade wrench and follow the saw manufacturer torque guidance for the arbor nut. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye and face protection when cutting ferrous metals, as sparks and metal chips are generated during the cut.
