About Product Overview

Cutting aluminum, copper, or brass on a miter saw takes a different tooth geometry than wood, and this Diablo blade is built specifically for that job. The triple-chip grind (TCG) alternates flat and beveled teeth to shear through non-ferrous metals cleanly, while the -5 degree hook angle keeps the blade from grabbing or climbing as it cuts, which matters when you're working with softer metals and plastics that can snag a standard wood blade.

The 96 carbide teeth ride in TiCo Hi-Density Carbide, a coating designed to resist heat buildup and hold an edge through repeated cuts in aluminum extrusions, copper pipe, brass stock, and fiberglass panel. It's sized for 12-inch miter and slide miter saws, making it a fit for fabricators, HVAC techs, and metalworking shops doing regular non-ferrous cutting.

Price check

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to price-check us against Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Everybody does. Good — open all three tabs. We'll wait. Then look hard at what you're actually being handed over there.

On Amazon, start with these four questions before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Diablo. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

The big boxes don't care if your hardware store survives.

Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's are built to pull every hardware dollar out of your town. When the local shop can't keep the lights on, the counter where somebody actually knew which part you needed goes with it. We're built the other way: real brands so you're never stuck on a marketplace, and a straight answer to buy it down the street when that's the better call. Support independent hardware — it doesn't restock itself.

Why we tell you to shop local

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
