When cutting acrylics and plastics, "chip-welding" – a melting of the material is a concern, but not with these Non-Melt blades. With a modified triple-chip grind and a -2° hook angle (except PC-620), they produce less heat than a standard blade, leaving a crisp and smooth edge in acrylic sheets, corrugated polypropylene, HDPE, Lexan™, Plexiglas™, polycarbonates, Teflon™, Coroplast™, High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO), Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG), plastic laminate flooring and other plastics.

Ask a Question-
Hi Will this non melt blade work in a small chop saw ? My chop saw is more accurate than my table saw and i will be cutting smaller pieces of nylon bar stock. Thanks Alex Gray / paradox mtn. strings
It should because both Chop saw/Miter blades are 0° to -5° hook angles and No Melt blades are -2° hook angle blades. So Yes they should. But don’t forget the no melt have a Modified TCG. But we have never had anyone we know of use it on nylon bar stock.
