Milwaukee’s wood cutting, ultra-fine finish blades provide a smooth finish and cutting efficiencies to improve your productivity. A High-ATB tooth pattern provides a superior finish with minimal 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. 12 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 cuts as well as more cuts per charge when using a cordless tool.

The saw has definitely met my expectations.

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.

very clean cuts.

The fine teeth on this blade made cutting trim perfect, using my battery operated portable saw!

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.

Great saw blade, used it to cut panel. Smooth, no tear clean cut.

I needed new blades for my small cordless circular saw and thought the Milwaukee blade would be worth a try. The description of a fine finish 36 tooth blade made me wonder about the “fine finish” performance that this blade would produce. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. I immediately bolted it onto my saw and tried it on some scrap pieces of trim that I had. These pieces were already finished, so I thought that would be a good test for the “fineness”. On the ¾” quarter round, it did a nice job but there were some very small splinters chipped out. You really had to look to see them and they could have been covered with a little stain and would never be noticeable. Next I tried the blade on a piece of 5” baseboard that was also finished. The same for this piece, small pieces splintered out. I then did what I frequently do with this type of wood and taped the line where I was going to cut with painters tape. That took care of the splintering issue and the pieces looked great. The saw went through it smoothly and easily.I then thought I would try it on a 2” X 4”. It went through the board very easily and left a very nice cut. There was also a little soft wood splintering on the end. It didn’t matter on this piece, as it was going into framing for a wall. I was very happy with this cut also.I love these little cordless saws, as I frequently need to cut only a piece of two, and dislike dragging out a long extension cord for the bigger power saw and really don’t like getting out my miter saw on a stand if I don’t have to. A lot of my work is at remote locations anyway and there may be electrical service nearby, or there may not be. This little blade does the trick and I will definitely buy more of them.

No. I needed a 3in blade.

Came faster than expected. Works great.
Grace Tremblay (verified owner) –
I did not use this yet but it looks as though it is well designed with a narrow width for smother cutting. That’s all I have for now.
Veronica Von (verified owner) –
Very clean cut with extremely low vibration and noise.
Jackie Yost (verified owner) –
Good
Dorian Wintheiser (verified owner) –
Top notch quality; working at my expectations.

I have used 40 tooth 6.5″ circular saw blade from several manufacturer’s. This one certainly ranks as good as any of the ones that I have purchased. It installed on my saw without difficulty. It tracked very well. Even without some blue tape, the initial cuts were very smooth. I don’t recall seeing these blades for sale at Home Depot. I hope that they start carrying them. I like Milwaukee accessories very much. I have too much invested in other brands of cordless tools to make the switch at this point. There are times that I wish that I would have started with Milwaukee.

Great blade – cuts easily and leaves smooth surfaces. Perfect for the new M18 table saw.
Lisa Terry (verified owner) –
works like a hot knife thru butter. Very smooth cut without splintering.
Amani Stark (verified owner) –
Extremely smooth cuts on detailed trimwork. So much better than the stock blade.

A nice fine finish blade that performs very well without gumming up thanks to the anti- friction coating. This 10 inch 80 tooth saw blade is well designed and high quality. I typically use the DIABLO Red saw blades from Freud America, Inc. for my ultra fine finish saw blade needs and also have used several construction series blades from Dewalt. This blade is a competitor for the Diablo 80 tooth blade but the Diablo does cut a little cleaner in my opinion. It has the same price point and cut the several project panel veneered plywood sheets with ease and cut a 2 1/2″ butcher block top without bogging or any tear out. A little sanding with a finish sander and the table top was ready to go. As for the longevity of this blade I can only say that it is still as sharp as it was when installed on my saw and only time will tell but I do not see it getting dull any time soon.

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.
