This Milwaukee Metal Cutting Saw blade actually needed to list Non-Ferrous Blade in its listing. As for its cutting ability it is actually very good for aluminum, copper, brass, fiberglass and most plastics. For a 14-inch blade with a 1-inch arbor it will fit a chop miter saw or a powered cut-off saw. The cut-off saws now come in gas or battery powered units. If you are working in an aluminum fabrication shop this would be a must have because the cuts are that clean, needing no additional preparation to go to the TIG welder. The other materials are generally cut by miter saws only in pre-fab home construction on a demanding basis that would call for this blade. In my case using a blade like this with such a narrow material base does not compare. There are too many blades in this size range that will cut all of these materials PLUS ferrous metals (iron & steels), along with woods. The pictures below would have shown a complete comparison of the blade cuts; however, my neighbor took his Aluminum and Copper blocks that were cut back before I hand a chance to get the picture, due to a call back to work. The cuts were however, extremely clean for both saw blades. This blade is an excellent choice for the fabrication professionals who do not use wood or ferrous metals. For that reason and those areas only would you find this blade an excellent choice.

I have been a builder and remodeler for 50 years, and as such I have had many occasions where I had to cut aluminum and plastics. But while I could use other blades like a wood blade or others, often it is better if I an just use the blades made to cut the material. For example, this MILWAUKEE 10 IN. X 80 CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING CIRCULAR SAW BLADE. I recently used it to cut some aluminum and also some PVC trim, and it cuts cleaner and easier than a wood blade.

Milwaukee 8 in. x 60 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade is designed to cut non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper, etc.), plastic, fiberglass and thin metal up to 3/32-inch. It has cobalt infused tungsten carbide tipped teeth that runs cooler. It is substantially for softer materials without high iron (ferrite) content. Other more common blades are for ferrous metals. This blade has more teeth than the ferrous metal cutting blades and gives a cleaner cut in softer materials. With ferrous blades, feeding the material too fast can jam it and damage a tooth or send plenty of metal shavings flying. With plastic and fiberglass material this isn’t the same problem, the more teeth will result in a cleaner cut. It states on the package it is clog free, and has thin slots you can see in the photo’s to dampen vibration. I tried this blade out and had no problem, still very new. Milwaukee makes good saw blades so this should last when used with care and avoid the harder materials.

So far so good. I’m not used to using a carbide tooth blade to cut metals. Usually I use the old style abrasive blades or wheels. But I’m definitely liking the carbide tooth blade mush better. Milwaukee made some pretty good blades here. I used the blade to cut some copper pipe, aluminum sheeting and some fiberglass panels and all worked out great. For the copper it was really fast and the metal stayed cool. It didn’t heat up or spark like crazy. The aluminum sheeting cuts were perfect also. Actually surprised how there wasn’t many burrs if any at all when I had a good straight line going. I also cut some thin metals on some blinds to cut the track to size and it sure beat using a hacksaw. I really like how clean this blade cuts with no burrs or burn marks. Definitely wear eye protection because little flakes of metal can jump around depending on the saw. I used it on my Milwaukee 6 1/2 saw and the rpms suited it well. All the carbide teeth are still there after me using it and still sharp. Definitely looking forward to using this style blade now to cut metal. Hopefully Milwaukee makes some 1/8” thickness metal cutting blades in the future for some softer steel. Definitely good quality carbide material used in this blade.

I received the MILWAUKEE 9 IN. X 72 CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING CIRCULAR SAW BLADE to test for The Home Depot. I used it with my sliding miter saw to cut standing seam roofing for my pergola and it worked great! Ran through the pieces like butter. What i really liked is the packaging. It is perforated for opening so that it can be used for storage as well. Simple but a great idea.

The Milwaukee Brand, 7 in. x 54 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade is designed for cutting soft metals and plastics. My interest in trying this blade on my metal cutting circular saw was to cut aluminum as aluminum is a very difficult metal to machine cleanly. If ever having used a file on aluminum, the file teeth will load and plug almost immediately. Plastics I have cut successfully with a standard circular saw and a fine-tooth carbide wood cutting blade. And Pipe I use for plumbing, I prefer to cut with a pipe or tubing cutter to avoid getting chips inside the pipe. Milwaukee’s 2-3/8 in. Ratcheting Pipe Cutter, Cuts PVC, CPVC, PEX, Rubber Hose, ABS cleanly and squarely with amazing ease and speed. However, be sure to check the rotational speed of any circular saw before installing this metal cutting blade on it as the blade has a maximum safe speed rating of 4,500 RPM. Most circular saws not designed for cutting metal have speeds well in excess of 5,000 RPM. I do not have any aluminum projects going at this time, yet I did try the blade on some aluminum I had in the workshop and it cut or rather machined, the aluminum as clean as a whistle. Perhaps not as polished as steel cutting saw blades achieve, yet beautifully clean and finished non the less. The 7-inch blade produced cuts though aluminum as deep as 2-inches on my metal cutting circular saw. However, other saws may cut deeper with this blade as my saw accepts blades larger than 7-inches. The package the blade comes in is designed, if carefully opened from the back to be used for storing the saw blade when not using it on the saw. I thought that packaging usefulness on Milwaukee’s part is just one example of the refinement that goes into all the tools and products Milwaukee make.

This saw blade is excellent for cutting metal or plastic. Fine enough teeth to make a super smooth cut. No buts to clean on plastic pipe or aluminum. Put it in my Milwaukee circular saw and made several cuts to see how it worked. None better than this. I tried it on sheet metal and it worked great. I am going to use it to cut 8 foot sections down to 4 foot. So much better than turning a wood blade around backwards to cut sheet metal. I hih hoy recommend this excellent quality blade!

I love these 8 inch blades. This 58 tooth gives you smooth, fast cuts in aluminum, plastics, fiberglass, copper and brass. It’s excellent for cutting sheets of aluminum or fiberglass, as it cuts cleanly and doesn’t heat up like some. With more plastics being used, this works great for making smooth accurate cutting there too. The teeth are ‘cobalt infused tungsten carbide’ and no lubrication is needed. It didn’t clog up with material like some I’ve used in the past. This is perfect for my 8 inch metal saw. If you have an 8 inch metal saw, why not use an 8 inch blade? If you haven’t tried these newest blades, give them a try. They perform flawlessly and save time too.

I ordered this blade to cut a number of different materials including plastic pipe. In the past I’ve done it with just a regular carbide blade with good results. In this case, I needed to get a better cut for my current project, not actually plumbing but building a drone, so I ordered this 10 inch metal cutting blade to use on my compound miter saw. It really allows for a precise cut even on larger diameter pipe.One word of caution, using this blade on any material generates a large amount of very fine dust. I was shocked @ how much floats around during the cutting process; wear good safety glasses.

The Milwaukee 7-1/4 in. x 56 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade makes short work of cutting aluminum flashing. I am using the used flashing for some lawn edging and needed to cut a few inches off a piece. This blade cut it off as it was nothing. As with a lot of tasks, the prep and cleanup was way more time consuming than the task at hand. When I selected this blade, I had hoped to use it on some steel roofing sheets. When it came, the first thing I saw was “ALUMINUM” in big letters. Only slightly disappointed. It will get plenty of use on other aluminum and possible cement board siding provided it is suitable for that.

I needed to cut some aluminum shower door hardware as part of a bathroom upgrade. Due to the size of the pieces and type of cuts to be made, I used this blade in my 10-inch table saw. This blade is for a saw with a one-inch arbor – but since my saw has a 5/8-inch arbor I had to use a brass adaptor.This blade seems to be top quality. The carbide-tipped teeth have an alternate top bevel grind, and there are numerous laser cut vibration dampening slots to minimize heat buildup and noise. It is designed to cut without any water or oil lubrication, which eliminates the hassle and mess.This blade worked flawlessly on the parts I cut and produced a fairly smooth finish. I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of this blade.

The Milwaukee seven and a quarter inch (7 ¼”) by fifty-six (56) tooth carbide metal cutting circular saw blade is capable of cutting brass, aluminum, fiberglass, copper , vinyl, and any nonferrous metals up to a quarter inch (1/4”) (6.4 mm) thick. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES! as this does throw minute shavings. One note is that the cut material is not hot to the touch after cutting and no oil is required during cutting operation.

This Milwaukee 9” diameter 72 tooth aluminum cutting blade powers through 3/16” aluminum like cutting through wood. The resulting kerf is precise, clean and smooth. I also cut a piece of 3/8” Plexiglas. The cut was as precise and clean but with a minor amount of spalling along the edge on one side. It is possible that a slower feed might reduce that. I do not own a hand held saw with a one-inch arbor or for that matter a hand held saw that can accommodate a 9” blade. I used this in a corded 10” bench saw with a 5/8” to 1” adapter to clean up some scrap to try it out with great results. In the past I have used either a jigsaw or reciprocating saw to make these cuts and then had to clean them up by filing or grinding. Very difficult to get a long smooth straight cut that way. This is a very nice and welcome addition to my workshop. One negative is the packaging. It definitely protects the product – with vigor! It would have been nice if the packaging could be more easily reused for storage between uses. It is very difficult to initially remove the blade from the package and getting the blade in and out through the opening made in the back of the package is difficult when using it for storage.
