Milwaukee’s wood cutting, fine finish blades provide cleaner cuts and cutting efficiencies to improve your productivity. An ATB tooth pattern minimizes tearout in the cut material. An anti-friction coating keeps the blade cool while cutting and resists corrosion and gumming. Laser cutting technology creates the blade from 100% sheet steel to ensure a stable blade that increases cutting accuracy. 10-1/4 in. blades are ring tensioned to further stabilize the blade. Laser cut vibration slots minimize wobble and warping during use. A thin kerf design delivers faster, more efficient cuts.

The saw has definitely met my expectations.

Used this thin kerf blade for putting up some shiplap siding. It was a stained shiplap to so I wanted to insure chipping was minimal. A thin blade and many toothed blade helped to insure the wood didn’t chip or splinter. After a wall; probably 60-80 cuts the blade is still as sharp as when it came out of its package. So I expect the blade to last a long time.

Cuts clean. Hot knife through butter

I have several saw blades with different tooth counts for cutting different types of material. My blade for cutting finished plywood and other thin woods was worn out. I’ve been having good luck with Milwaukee products lately and this saw blade is no exception. It cuts very easily and leaves as smooth a cut as you could expect. There is no binding to the wood and no extra load on the motor. It’s like cutting butter. If it lasts a while, which it appears it will, I’ll be very happy.

Full disclosure, I’m not an expert however I’m a big fan of Milwaukee stuff. It basically just couldn’t cut 3/4 thick red oak boards (M12 system saw). No worries Mil, I’ll try again.

Cut through 3/4″ prefinished maple leaving a clean edge.

Nice blade, but did not fit my Milwaukee, to small arbor.

Very clean cut with extremely low vibration and noise.

works like a hot knife thru butter. Very smooth cut without splintering.

This blade was easy to install on my miter saw and cut like butter! The price was reasonable (better than some other blades), only time will tell if this lasts as long as a pricier blade. I’ve used it on pine and oak so far and would plan to use this for “finish” cuts if it continues to perform like this. I also think this would work great on my next flooring installation project (laminate or vinyl plank).

This is the Milwaukee 48-40-1228, 12” by 100-tooth (Ultra Fine) standard kerf (1/8”) saw blade (note that the package nowhere states the kerf—I measured it. It’s strange that the Home Depot website calls it a “Thin kerf blade” in the description, which usually refers to a kerf less than 1/8”). It has an anti-friction coating and the vibration slots are filled with a polymer, supposedly to reduce vibrations even more than using just the slots. The tooth pattern is ATB (alternate-tooth bevel). Milwaukee claims that the blade can be used with softwoods, hardwoods, melamine, MDF, veneered plywood, paneling and moldings.It’s worth noting that the blade comes in an easy-open package. In Photo 1 you can see the perforations (in the plastic and cardboard) allowing you to open the package from the back quite easily.Before installing the blade on my 12”, non-sliding miter saw, I check it for flatness. Out of the package it was perfectly flat all across the blade. I installed the blade in my 20+ year-old miter saw (see Photo 2)—nothing makes an old saw work like new like a new blade. I was not disappointed, in fact, I came away quite impressed. I tested the blade on some very hard 2×6 White Oak. I hate to use that over-used phrase, “like a hot knife through butter,” but there’s no other way to describe it. And the cuts were clean. I really like this saw blade.

The blade is great. It fit perfectly on my m12 circular saw. It cuts great.
