Meet the Freud LU89M015 15" Thick Stock Aluminum Metal Blade—built for serious non-ferrous cutting with a finish that stands up to inspection. Designed for thick aluminum stock, this heavy-duty blade delivers consistent, precise cuts and a superb edge on every project.

Key advantages that set this blade apart

• 15" blade optimized for thick stock aluminum—perfect for demanding aluminum workpieces, from extrusions to panels.
• Non-ferrous performance—engineered specifically for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals to produce a smooth, clean finish.
• Custom gullets for efficient chip clearance—designed to minimize chip build-up, reducing heat and maintaining cut quality over longer runs.
• Carbide formulated for longevity—a tough carbide bond that stands up to the abrasiveness of aluminum and similar alloys.

Use and care for best results

For optimal performance, Freud recommends using a liquid lubricant during cutting. Apply a light spray of WD-40 or another compatible coolant every 4–5 cuts to minimize heat buildup and extend blade life. Avoid wax sticks, which don’t provide the same cooling and lubrication benefits.

Ideal applications and who benefits

• Shops and professionals cutting thick aluminum stock, extrusions, or panels.
• Fabricators prioritizing a high-quality edge and reduced post-cut deburring on aluminum projects.
• Any saw setup that accepts a 15" blade and requires durable, long-lasting performance for non-ferrous metal work.

Why choose the LU89M015 for aluminum work

This blade isn’t just about cutting metal—it’s about delivering a repeatable, premium finish while resisting wear in abrasive aluminum cuts. The combination of a robust 15" form factor, optimized chip gullets, and a carbide formulation translates to reliable performance, fewer interruptions, and a finish that requires less touch-up work after cutting.
