Freud D0604DHA 6.5 Inch 4T Pcd Fiber Cement Blade

Product Description

The FREUD D0604DHA is a 6.5-inch, 4-tooth PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) tipped circular saw blade engineered for cutting fiber cement siding and related cementitious materials. This blade carries co-branding as the only approved fiber cement blade recommended by James Hardie Building Products. The PCD Triple Chip tooth geometry delivers cutting life rated at up to 60 times longer than standard carbide-tipped blades. A laser-cut thin kerf body reduces dust output and material waste on every pass. The anti-vibration body design minimizes noise and stabilizes the blade during operation, while a non-stick Perma-Shield coating controls heat buildup at the cutting edge.

This blade is suited for residential and light commercial siding installation work involving fiber cement planks, panels, and trim. It is the standard tool-of-choice for James Hardie siding installers who require both cut precision and dust reduction on the job site. The blade fits standard 6.5-inch circular saws and is sold in a pack of 5 units, making it practical for crews running multiple saws or high-volume siding projects. The PCD tip construction makes it appropriate for any fiber cement substrate, including pre-primed and pre-finished products.
