I use these on a Milwaukee M18 deep cut bandsaw mainly for cutting mild steel. I’d been using the coarser tooth blades but I have to say I like the smoother edge I get with these. Of course they fit the saw well. One thing I noticed out of the box is the welds at the blade joints. I included a picture which can only illustrate so well but one thing you notice when you run a finger across the weld is how smooth it is on both sides. The finish is very good. I cant say the same for all the blades I have tried. I used some lenox blades (mainly because I broke one and needed one fast and they were 10 minutes away) and they are not bad blades but I don’t think they had quite the quality at the joint that these do. It just bespeaks an attention to detail. Anyway these hold up well and will give you a lot of cuts as long as you don’t do something that would break any blade like try to rush a cut and bind a blade.

These blades were a perfect fit in my saw. I am very happy with the quality and number of cuts they provide before wearing out. I do many home projects myself and have not found any blades in this price range that were any better. Some things I do recommend though are: # 1 When purchasing your blades order them according to the job you are doing. The TPI makes a huge difference on what the blade is designed to cut. #2 Let the saw do the cutting and don’t put excessive pressure on it.

Great saw blades. Will cut thru a large hunk of steel, 5″x 5″, no problem.Much easier than my Oxy/Acet. torch, and cleaner too,

High quality saw blades as all Milwaukee products I’ve used before. I really like the company because their instruments can use any DIY person reaching good results. Say true, I don’t need to cut a lot of metal and I don’t do it too often. So I cannot tell how long it will last for a professionals, but for me it will work forever. It’s easy to install and it makes nice cuts. I am impressed by the cutting speed and easy operation.

The 10 TPI ate through the 5/8″ rebar like buttah. We will buy more when the ones we got go dull.Jarhead

Very nice blades, well made, and heavy duty, and, they are made in the U.S.A.! If you have a deep cut, portable band saw, and you need to cut thin metal, these 44 7/8 inch high speed steel bands are the blades you need, and when you buy the three pack, you save money! Tgey are best used for stainless steel pipe, sched 10 and 40 pipe, copper pipe, ridgid and EMT conduit, Inistrut, and Ducting.

The blade that I needed to cut heavy steel, rigid pipe, and angle iron.

These blades are awesome. I purchased these blades to cut Unistrut. I was using a Dewalt blade that came with my Dewalt saw that was a 18 tooth per inch blade. It cut well but was slow. I bought these and what a difference I set my saw on speed 3 and it takes just a few seconds to cut through the strut. definitely worth the money. The blades seem to last longer also.

May be it’s my mistake, but I use it cutting soft and hard plastic pipes too and it performs perfectly. Big thanks to the company from DIY people like me.

This is a great blade! Fast and smooth. First off, I’ve seen some confusion regarding which blades fit which saws. This 44-7/8″ blade is for the M18 Fuel deep cut band saw. It won’t fit the old brushed saw (a great tool in it’s own right). This blade excels when you need to cut thicker metal. It’s super fast with all cuts, but it’s not as smooth and clean on emt conduit for example. This blade absolutely blows me away on thicker metal cuts though. 3/16″ mild steel is not even noticeable. The motor doesn’t lag, the cut is amazingly fast. I think the 8TPI sections clean out the cut so the 10TPI sections can get to work. You won’t regret buying these blades or this saw. Highly recommend. I’ll be using these blades for metal fabrication from now on!

Cut right through the steel like butter

I have been using the 10/14 TPI to cut pipe. The 8/10 not only cuts the pipe faster it last about double the amount of cuts.

Works great in my Milwaukee portable bandsaw. Cuts through metal with ease. Tin and other thin metals will cut, but you have to go very slow. Very little flex while cutting with these blades. Excellent quality compared to some I have used. As long as you keep the correct tension on these blades they should last quite a while. I highly recommended blades.
