I like the entire line of Milwaukee tools and accessories. Well made and commercial quality. This blade will not disappoint. It has an extra thick blade and made to withstand heavy sawzall use on thick metal (pipes, rebar, angle iron, etc). I tried it in my folding handheld sawzall blade tool (also from Milwaukee) and if fits perfectly (although due to the full length of this blade it won’t fold in, because it is designed for 6 inch blades). Know matter, I can use this in a pinch if I have to. Great product.

Another specialized blade for the ubiquitous reciprocating saw, the “Torch Nitrus Carbide” blade from Milwaukee will not disappoint! This 9 inch, 7 TPI blade quickly cuts through the workpiece while leaving a clean cut and little wear to the teeth of the blade. While I did not have any cast iron to try them on (the manufacturer claims three times the life of a standard carbide blade in cast iron), when used to cut trio of items (formed steel channel-0.120 in. thickness, #4 rebar and a 2 inch steel tube with 0.168 in. wall thickness)-see photos, the cuts were effected quickly and cleanly. Cutting through the rebar took less than 3 seconds per cut! Another good addition to the cutting inventory.

Milwaukee 9 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade (3-Pack) – a Home Depot Seeds Program ReviewI have vereral types of blades for my SAWZALL reciprocating saw. I have ones for wood, wood with nails, long ones, short ones, etc. I saw these Milwaukee 9 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blades and thought they might be an interesting addition. I don’t often have the opportunity to cut heavy cast iron pipe, which I think these were designed for, but it has happened. The blades are none inches long with seven teeth per inch and a pretty thick kerf so this isn’t a blade for precision work. For cast iron or, in my case, some ½ inch black pipe, the blades is great. The thicker kerf means less flex for the heavier metal. The teeth are coated with Milwaukee’s proprietary Nitrus Carbide so they don’t wear as fast. I’ve used other carbide blades and they really do last longer. In the case of these blades, Milwaukee documentation says there’s 25% more Nitrus Carbide per tooth. I have no way to verify this.In use, I found the blades did a great job of cutting. I had a piece of ½ inch black pipe from another project. I made several cuts and found the blade made quick work of the pipe and left a pretty good finish. Cutting through the pipe took seven or eight seconds and after a few cuts the only difference in the blade was some paint rubbed off. That sure beats the time it took with a hacksaw when I cut the pipe before. I couldn’t see any wear on the teeth when I was done and I don’t know how many cuts I would have needed to make in order to see any wear. I got the blades in a 3-pack which is probably a good idea so you’ll have spares if they do wear down too much.These Milwaukee 9 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade, like other Milwaukee SAWZALL blades are high quality at a pretty good price. The Nitrus Carbide should make these blades last for a considerable time. They cut fast and clean. I think they’re a good addition to my collection of blades.This is the manufacturer’s product page if interested:https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Accessories/Cutting/SAWZALL-Blades/SAWZALL-TORCH-with-NITRUS-CARBIDE

I don’t think there is to many things more annoying than not having the right tool to do the job you are trying to accomplish. Every once in a while I need to cut something using the old Milwaukee Sawzall and it drives me nuts when all my blades are shot or I don’t have the right one for what I’m trying to cut. These new 6 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Bladesfrom Milwaukee are phenomenal. They cut through angle iron like butter and I can only imagine how well they will work on cast iron or sewer pipe. Luckily I haven’t had any problems with sewer pipes lately since moving to my new house but should I have any this 3-pack of blades will be the first thing put to use. If you are trying to cut hard cast, soil pipe, stainless steel, thick metal or black pipe I would definitely use this type of blade first. They will cost you a little more but they will make up for it in how long they last and how well they cut. Lord knows I have been under the house multiple times over the years with a dull blade that will no longer cut and it’s miserable having to crawl back out just to change blades. With these new blades you won’t be having that problem.

These are strong blades for cutting anything metal, well actually anything that isn’t too thick. The spacing of the blades is small so it won’t quickly cut, but it will cut clean. I used these on some PVC tubing and they easily cut. I also like the fact that they are 9 inches. You can cut through larger diameter tubing in one pass rather than having to rotate around.

This is the first time I’ve used these MILWAUKEE 6 IN. 7 TPI TORCH NITRUS CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING SAWZALL RECIPROCATING SAW BLADES and it won’t be the last. First thing I noticed was these Milwaukee blades feel heavier and are a bit thicker than my old brand, which impressed me before I even attached it to the saw. I was cutting nailed studs, wood railings screwed to sheathing and 3 old water pipes in an older house and these blades certainly did the job really well and barely show any wear, other than the paint on one side was scratched. I will definitely get more use out of each of these blades than I did with my old brand. They cut easily through metal screws, the nails and metal pipe and went through the studs and wood rail like going through butter. I’m glad I tried these and will be purchasing these from now on.

I received the MILWAUKEE 6 IN. 7 TPI TORCH NITRUS CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING SAWZALL RECIPROCATING SAW BLADE (3-PACK) to test for Home Depot. I did not have any projects going on that I needed Sawzall for, so I just got some scrap copper piping to use for a test. It went through the copper like it was butter. No drag and a nice clean cut. These are superior to the average blades that I have been using.

Had to cut up the body of a car. The blades worked well through all ares we had to cut. would purchase them again.

Beast of a saw blade. Only tested it out briefly, but it tore through ductile iron pipe no problem. It’s a heavy duty metal saw blade for sure. Seems like it will hold up over time. If you have some thick metal to cut through this should do the job. Depending on what type of metal you are cutting or how much, a band saw might be better suited. I would recommend this though.

These blades are great. I got them mainly to cut some fairly thick metal fence posts, and they’ve been very effective; the phrase “hot knife through butter” comes to mind. I haven’t tried to cut anything heavier, but based on their performance so far, I have faith that they could handle it. They are a little pricey, but if you need to cut heavy gauge metal, these blades are well worth it.

Milwaukee 9 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade (5-Pack) review: Another fabulous tool attachment from Milwaukee! I received these thick powerful blades and installed one in my Milwaukee Sawzall. I did not have any cast iron tubes to cut (which is what these are designed for I presume) so I took them to cut a piece of fence pipe on my fence. I did not have a reference cut so the saw bounced around cutting the post. This was because I tried cutting the post at a 90 degree angle instead of having it in a horizontal position or clamped down. These blades are tough and showed no signs of wear. I then took a piece of 2X2 inch wood and it sliced right through it. Milwaukee tough! Really like these blades! There ya go!

Awesome Stability on Cutting Surface. Milwaukee’s 6 inch 7 TPI Torch Nitrus Carbide Reciprocating Saws All Blades Are The Best I’ve Ever used on Heavy Metal. A Wide Blade that doesn’t Dance around on the material your cutting. Once it starts the cut it goes through like cutting butter. I cut through a old galvanized pipe and couldn’t believe how easy it cut through. Great Blades!

Had to cut through a cast iron sewer pipe that was backed up, so I wanted to cut through fast. Turds were flying everywhere for the 10 seconds it took the torch to make it through the 4 inch pipe twice, then slapped on a fernco. Worked great!

Ok I really put this blade to the test and I think most people would be better served with a blade with more teeth to the inch – like Milwaukee Torch medium metal cutting blades. At 7 teeth to the inch these really are for thicker metals and are spec’d as such. I had to cut down some metal fence posts and while the 7 tpi went through the fence posts like butter in my corded Sawzall, the metal was a little thin for the 7 tpi blade and it would tend to grab. I was so impressed with the blades performance I decided to try the blade on piece of rebar using by 12 volt Milwaukee Hackzall. I have to say I was skeptical but this blade went through the rebar in just over a minute. Huge performance increase over traditional hack saw blades that seem to dull quickly and take forever. Well worth it – I’m sold.

I have an old Jeep that the tow hitch was rusted off on one side only, so I decided to cut the other side but the blades I had was only scratching the surface. Went to THD site to see what my local store had in stock. After reading the reviews I picked up to give them a try. I was quite surprised that it cut so fast, I didn’t put a stop watch on it but it couldn’t have taken more than 45 seconds. I was reluctant to spend this amount of money, but I’m glad I did. I don’t think I’ll have to purchase any metal cutting blades for some time. You can buy just 1 or a 3 pack and a 5 pack.

I got these to cut some cast iron pipe and they looked very beefy and different from some other blades. They really are different. They last longer and do hold up better. They are very good at cutting through cast iron pipe and you don’t have to change blades as often. This also works great on rebar and angle iron. I tried them out on a piece of stainless and they work well on that too. These will be my metal sawzall blades from now on. The others will stay in the drawer. These will fit any standard sawzall, they’re beefy and are a pretty neat design too.

No doubt in my mind… YES!!! I would recommend this product. I can’t believe how it cut through thick steal like it was butter. Saved me a great deal of time and a great deal of discomfort in my hands. I would normally use a pneumatic cut tool for this type of job. INCREDIBLE!!!! After cutting several pieces I inspected the blade and it doesn’t appear to have been used at all. Go Torch or you’ll have an exhaustive experience!

a few days ago I got the Milwaukee 9 in. 7 TPI TORCH Nitrus Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade (5-Pack). It is perfect for a lot of my jobs in my shop. I don’t do a lot of metal work but when I do I like the right tools and these blades help fill the need. I have been putting up Bluebird nesting boxes. We use sign post to hold them. I cut a wedge shape end so we can drive them in the ground. This blade help make it easier.

I’m not going to lie my expectations for this blade were that it would be slightly better at cutting metal than a normal reciprocating saw blade. Boy was I wrong. This blade cuts through thick metal really easily. I used it to cut off some bolts on a project car that I have. I couldn’t quite get a grinder in there and the area was sensitive enough that I didn’t want to use a torch. So I got this blade to get those hard to reach bolts and it just flew through them like they were nothing. I figured old rusty bolts it was probably just an easy cut so I grabbed piece of rebar and put the blade to the test. It took the blade with moderate pressure 6 seconds to cut through the rebar. I was floored, and the damage to the blade was minimal after doing it 4 more times to make sure the first time wasn’t a fluke. You can see the rebar and the wear on the blade from my pictures. Definitely a great blade, one that I will purchase again.
