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!

The fact that these band saw blades bear the Milwaukee name should almost make a review completely unnecessary. I have been using my Milwaukee deep cut band saw for years and I have over time tried several brand of blades from bargain to other name brand. As usual, you get what you pay for and if you don’t feel like having a blade let you down in the middle of a cut, then stick with what you know is best and cut for hours without changing a blade. Highly recommend and would buy again and again.

This is a 25 pack of 44-7/8 inch Bi-Metal 12/14 TPI Variable pitch metal cutting bandsaw blades.The area where the blade is welded together is one of the more important areas on a bandsaw blade. Milwaukee did a fine job making sure that these blades are uniform in thickness and alignment (See photo). These blades run smoothly without any interruption when the welded section passes the cutting area and blade guides.The 12/14 TPI (Teeth Per Inch) confuses many people. The blade is a variable pitch which means teeth of the blade are 12 TPI in some places, and 14 TPI in others. This creates sections with teeth of two different sizes, and gullets. This is done to reduce harmonics, vibrations and chatter, and is most noticeable when cutting pipe or tubing. When you cut a pipe, the blade has more surface contact when cutting the top section and bottom portion of the pipe, but only has a small surface contact area when cutting the middle of the pipe where it is just cutting thru the two thin walled sides of the pipe. A variable pitch blade can accommodate cutting both thin and thick cross sections without changing out the blade.This 44-7/8 inch size blade is used on many different brands of small and portable bandsaws, and is often listed in metric which would be a length of 1139mm or 1140mm.With a 12/14 TPI blade, these are better suited for cutting thin material. You would want a courser blade (8/10 TPI) for cutting thick materials which Milwaukee also makes.These blades are Made in the USA.

Milwaukee portable band saw blades 44-7/8 in. 8/10 TPI Metal Deep Cut Portable Extreme Band Saw Blade (25-Pack). These Milwaukee portable band saw blades are hardworking blades. Please be aware they is a break in procedure to ensure the blades last for a long time. The first 100 linear inches cut should be cut at half speed. After the saw has cut 100 inches of material the saw can be moved up to full speed for the material that you are cutting. These Extreme Metal blades have a variable pitch design that should give you approximately three times longer life that the other blades. Fewer blades changes equals more actual work or production time since you are not changing blades. These Milwaukee blades cut material leaving very smooth and straight cuts. Typically, the 8 /10 Tooth Per Inch is recommended for cutting ¼” to ½ inch thick material. The fewer teeth per inch should also be used at a lower speed when cutting vs maybe 12 to 14 TPI blades. They worked great for cutting 2 3/8 inch, 2 7/8 inch and 4-inch steel pipe for fencing and gate posts. Home Depot offers the standard duty blades in two packs in the store. Please go to Home Depot.com to order these blades in large packs. There is a 3 pack and a 25-pack available with free shipping to your local Home Depot store. As you can see in the photos attached the blade cuts extremely smooth with leaving any burrs and very slight markings on the cut metal ends. The 8/10 TPI leaves just a little bit more scratches on the metal cut edge vs the 12/14 TPI. Both without burrs and extremely smooth. Metal cut and half speed.Very impressive cutting blades.

These blades are invaluable and well worth the investment. If you need a portable band saw the Milwaukee brand are great and their warranty matches any other product out there. Their blades stand up to a lot of cutting. I’d recommend ordering several tooth patterns and several packs because they do wear out and it’s important to have some spares and different blades for different tasks.

I used these high quality blades to cut 1/8 mild steel angle iron and they did a great job. The tooth count is made for cutting thinner metals and they cut the angle like it was butter. I was making several brackets and had a over a dozen cuts to make and the blade was just as sharp on the last cut as it was on the first. Buying in volume save you just over a dollar per blade so if you do a lot of fabrication like I do volume is the way to go.

High quality saw blades as all Milwaukee products I’ve used before. Say true, I don’t need to cut a lot of high quality 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. 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.

These portable bandsaw blades will fit any portable bandsaw that accepts 44 7/8″ blades. Which is good because my Miwaukee M18 bandsaw dissapeared and I had to use a corded version. They cut fine, especially on fine, thin metal, such as conduit and other thin metals. It cuts aluminum very well, too. I used it to cut a section of thin aluminum angle stock that would bend easily and it cut it without binding.Plus, this is a high quantity package with 25 blades, That reduces the cost per blade considerably. And these blades dispense from the package with no fuss!

These blades were ordered through Home Depot. They arrived in perfect shape. These blades fit a work very well on my 6232 Milwaukee Deep Cut Band Saw, I use these medium tooth blades to do demolition rough cuts on just about everything, and finer cuts on wood. I’m still on the first blade but it’s nice to have spares! Good job Milwaukee! I recommend these! I got the 24 TPI blades as well.

The 44-7/8 in. 8/10 TPI Metal Deep Cut Portable Extreme Band Saw Blade (25-Pack) is a great deal from Milwaukee and comes in a convenient card board packing that also doubles as a storage case for the blades with a cutout in the middle to take blades out and also easy to hang on walls or lay flat.The blades cut great and are very durable I have made at least a 100 cuts in 1/8 square tubing and still cutting strong.

I RECOMMEND for fence building!!!These blades are super sharp an cut through steel like BUTTER I SAY, BUTTER WOW!!!!
Suzanne Cassin (verified owner) –
These blades replaced my old ones with a vast improvement on cutting strength and accuracy. Metal and I do not get along well as I’m always cutting myself even with gloves, but these blades have kept me safe through several necessary pipe cuttings and stayed sharp throughout. No bucking or kickback on the blade. A pack will last me a long time at this rate.

Cutting saddles for single rail pipe fence and was able to cut over 100 posts compared to 20 or 30 with the regular blades.

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.
