Freud Diablo D0506CH 5″ x 6 Tooth Carbide Tipped Circular Saw Blade for Fibre Cement Cutting

The Freud Diablo D0506CH is a purpose-built 5-inch circular saw blade engineered for fast, accurate cutting in fiber-cement siding, trim, and backer board. Its 6-tooth triple-chip grind (TCG) resists the abrasive silica in cementitious materials, while Freud’s abrasion-resistant TiCo® carbide maintains edge life over long runs. A laser-cut thin-kerf body reduces drag so smaller saws keep speed under load, and stabilizer vents help control noise and vibration for a smoother feel in the cut. Diablo’s Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating limits heat, pitch, and corrosion to keep the blade running true and clean.

Designed to fit 5/8″ arbors and recommended for James Hardie® fiber-cement products, this blade delivers the clean edges siding crews expect with noticeably less airborne dust compared to standard wood blades. Whether you’re trimming factory edges or ripping plank to length, it provides predictable, job-ready performance with minimal rework.

Mechanics of the triple-chip grind and the thin-kerf plate make this blade a practical choice across these groups. Siding crews get straight, chip-free cuts that help seams close tight and corners align. Remodelers benefit from the 5-inch format on compact saws when working from ladders or staging. Maintenance teams appreciate predictable performance on occasional repairs without switching to larger equipment. For training programs, it provides a clear example of proper blade geometry, safer dust control practices, and fitment for fiber-cement work—useful lessons students can take directly to the jobsite.
