Trend Aluminium/Plastic Circular Saw Blade 160mm x 20mm x 52T CSB/AP16052

When you are cutting aluminium trims, plastic extrusions or non-ferrous profiles, control matters just as much as sharpness. The Trend CSB/AP16052 is designed for users who need a blade that cuts cleanly, runs smoothly and stays dependable in demanding materials where ordinary wood-cutting blades are not suitable. Whether you are working on window and door extrusions, fascias and soffits, checker plate or sheet material, this blade is built to give a safer and more precise cutting experience.

The blade features a 52 tooth Triple Chip Ground profile with a -6° hook angle, a combination designed to eliminate self-feeding and promote a clean, controlled cutting action in aluminium, plastics and other non-ferrous metals. This geometry is especially valuable when accuracy and finish quality are important, helping reduce grabbing during the cut while producing a neater result on hard and sometimes brittle materials. The high tooth count also lowers feed aggression, supporting a smoother, finer finish across repetitive cutting tasks.

Trend equips the blade with microgranular tungsten carbide tipped teeth for strong edge retention and reliable long-term performance. These precision-ground tips are made to withstand repeated use while maintaining cut quality, making the blade a practical choice for professional installers, fabricators and workshop users. The precision ground alloy steel plate helps maintain flatness, while the hardened and tempered body reduces deflection under load for improved cutting accuracy and consistency.

Expansion slots are built into the blade body to reduce vibration and noise while improving heat dissipation during use. This helps the blade run more smoothly, protects cut quality during longer sessions and reduces the risk of heat-related distortion. A reamed 20mm bore ensures precise spindle fit, supporting stable performance on compatible machines. Trend also notes that a wax lubricant should be used when cutting aluminium, such as TRENDIWAX, to help improve cutting performance and blade life.

With a 160mm diameter, 20mm bore, 2.2mm kerf, 1.6mm plate thickness, 52 teeth and a maximum speed of 7,500rpm, the CSB/AP16052 is a specialist blade designed for accurate, safe and refined cutting in aluminium, plastic, copper and other non-ferrous materials. It is well suited to circular, plunge, table and mitre saw applications where finish quality, operator control and blade durability all matter.
