Pro-Tech Pt16060al Professional Saw Blade 160Mm 60T

The PRO-TECH PT16060AL 160 × 20 mm (or 30 mm bore) 60-tooth TCT blade delivers precision, mirror-finish cuts on aluminium extrusions, sheets, profiles, bars, and non-ferrous alloys. With ultra-thin kerf, high tooth count, and special triple-chip grind (TCG) geometry, it minimizes material waste, reduces burrs, and provides excellent chip clearance — a top choice for aluminium fabricators, window/door manufacturers, and metal workshops in South Africa.

Blade Specs — Diameter: 160 mm | Bore: 20 mm (standard) or 30 mm (some variants) | Kerf: ~2.0–2.2 mm | Teeth: 60 TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) with TCG (Triple Chip Grind) geometry — optimized for non-ferrous metals.

Material & Coating — High-carbon steel body with precision-ground carbide tips; often with anti-stick coating or laser-cut expansion slots to reduce vibration, noise, and heat buildup.

Cutting Performance — Produces clean, smooth, burr-free cuts on aluminium extrusions, sheets, profiles, bars, copper pipes, brass, and similar soft metals; also excellent on plastics, acrylics, composites, and laminated boards.

Recommended Use — Best for slow to medium feed rates with coolant/lubricant (wax stick or cutting fluid) for longest blade life and best finish; ideal for miter saws (chop saws), table saws, and portable saws.

RPM & Safety — Max RPM: ~9,000–10,000 (check saw rating); always use appropriate blade guard, push stick, and PPE (safety glasses, gloves, dust mask).

Durability — High-quality carbide and tensioning ensure long life with proper use and sharpening (can be resharpened multiple times by professional sharpening services).

Ideal For — Aluminium fabricators, window/door installers, metal workshops, sign makers, or DIY users in Phuthaditjhaba/Free State doing aluminium cutting (curtain rails, window frames, signage, boat fittings, etc.) — excellent value professional blade (often R400–R800 new at Adendorff Machinery Mart, Cash Converters, Builders Warehouse, or online tool shops; second-hand ~R200–R500).
