How the points were given
The Shop Score weighs performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on the How We Pick page. No pick states a safety certification or a warranty term, so safety and warranty score zero across the list, and the ranking rests on performance, build and value from the stated specs.
| Product | Shop Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evolution 14in Blade | 9.6 | 30 | 21 | 21 | n/a | 0 |

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Safety counts only for powered gear or where the listing states safety features; where it does not apply, the score is taken over the remaining 90 points.
What the listings tell you
Five listings were compared. All five state diameter, tooth count and arbor size. Two state a maximum RPM, and four state a kerf figure. Tooth counts run from 80 to 120, diameters run from 10 inches to 14 inches, and arbors are 5/8 inch or 1 inch. Every listing names aluminum, and several also name plastic, copper pipe and brass plate.
Buying guide: the best cold saw blades for aluminum
Match diameter and arbor to your saw
Diameter decides which saw the blade fits, and arbor decides whether it mounts at all. The diameters here are 10 inches, 12 inches and 14 inches, and the arbors are 5/8 inch or 1 inch. Check both figures on the saw before ordering, since a 12 inch blade with a 1 inch arbor does not fit a saw built for a 10 inch blade with a 5/8 inch arbor.
Tooth count and grind for aluminum
Higher tooth counts give a finer finish on aluminum, and every blade here uses a triple chip grind, listed as TCG, except the Evolution blade, which lists 80 carbide teeth. The TOYAKI blade lists 120 teeth for fine finish work, the FOXBC blades list 100 teeth and 96 teeth, and the MAZING blade lists 100 teeth. For clean, burr-free cuts on aluminum, a TCG tooth shape is the pattern the listings describe.
Kerf and material thickness
Kerf is the width of the cut, and the listings state .094 inch, 0.095 inch and 2.9mm across these blades. The FOXBC listings describe cutting thin aluminum up to 1/8 inch, medium aluminum from 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, and thick aluminum from 3/16 inch to 7/16 inch. Match the thickness range to the stock on the bench, not just to the blade diameter.
RPM limits
Two listings state a maximum RPM, and that limit matters for a blade meant for low speed saws. The Evolution blade lists a maximum of 1600 RPM and is designed for use with Evolution saws or other low RPM saws. The MAZING blade lists a maximum of 5000 RPM. Where a listing states no maximum RPM, the saw manual is the place to check before the first cut.
Use rated jack stands on solid ground, wear eye protection with power and air tools, keep fuel-burning equipment out of a closed garage, and follow the manual for every tool. Read our Safety Disclaimer.
Garage Fit Check
- Check diameter and arbor against the saw: 10 inches, 12 inches and 14 inches here, with 5/8 inch or 1 inch arbors.
- Check the maximum RPM where stated: 1600 RPM for the Evolution blade and 5000 RPM for the MAZING blade.
- Check material thickness against the FOXBC ranges: thin up to 1/8 inch, medium from 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, and thick from 3/16 inch to 7/16 inch.
- Store blades flat and dry, and keep the arbor size for each blade with the blade so the next swap is quick.
FAQ: garage tools
What is a cold saw?
A cold saw cuts metal at low speed with less heat than a high speed abrasive cut, and the Evolution blade here is designed for Evolution saws or other low RPM saws. The blades in this list are circular, miter and table saw blades for aluminum, not a dedicated cold saw machine.
What size blade fits my saw?
Match the diameter and the arbor to the saw. The blades here are 10 inches, 12 inches and 14 inches in diameter, with 5/8 inch or 1 inch arbors.
How many teeth do I need for aluminum?
Tooth counts here run from 80 to 120, with a triple chip grind on the TCG blades. The TOYAKI blade lists 120 teeth for fine finish work, while the Evolution blade lists 80 carbide teeth for aluminum cutting.
What thickness of aluminum can these blades cut?
The FOXBC listings describe cutting thin aluminum up to 1/8 inch, medium aluminum from 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, and thick aluminum from 3/16 inch to 7/16 inch. Other listings name aluminum plate, aluminum bar, aluminum extrusions, copper pipe and brass plate without giving a thickness range.
