   My husband freaked when he saw that I got him this blade for his saw. He’s been wanting it for a long time. The carbide tips on the blade make it perfect for cutting steel… So I am told! He said it cut cleanly with no metal burrs left behind soeso ha happy guy! Also he said this one is special since there’s no lubrication needed and the cuts stay cool.

   I tried this blade on an aluminum gutter downspout and on a piece of one inch thick plastic. It worked well on both applications. I had to use a hub spacer to compensate for the hole diameter of the blade. It was 1/8 inch larger than the hub on the saw I was using. Both cuts were quick and easy with good results. I did have burrs on the aluminum downspout but I used a soft wire wheel to clean up the cut. This blade definitely speeds up the cutting process when doing things like gutter installs or repairs. The plastic cut clean and smooth with minimal burr issues.

   I ordered this blade to cut down some old metal picture frames myself instead of taking them to a picture frame shop & spending almost as much money as the price of this blade. Seems that I can now do this myself with near professional results. More than likely I’m the only one that could tell it wasn’t done professionally. 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 ten inch eighty tooth aluminum cutting saw blade is specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals, cuts are high quality and speed right through the most demanding metal cutting applications ;no lubrication is needed as this blade is designed for cool running. The metal cutting circular saw blades have hardened alloy steel bodies, thus extending blade life and delivering high quality cuts. The teeth are carbide tipped and have alternating bevel grind to shear through metal delivering burr free, cool to touch cuts.This uses tungsten carbide to extend cutting life and has laser cut vibration dampening slots to minimize heat, sound and noise. Clean, cool and burr free cuts are the claim to fame of this blade.

   Milwaukee 14 in. x 80 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade – Like most guys I cut aluminum on either a framing chop saw or a finishing compound mitersaw. Stuff like aluminum closet door track, angle iron for brackets, or aluminum railing. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a blade dedicated to cutting aluminum, brass, copper and plastics to keep my finishing saw blade sharper and last longer.I mounted the new blade in an old metal cutting chop saw and it works great. It cuts aluminum and copper very cleanly with minimal deburring required. I’ve also cut white PVC trim-lumber and PVC electrical conduit with very good results.The packaging says it can cut thin steel (up to ¼”) but, I haven’t tried it yet.

   9 in. Carbide Tooth Metal Circular Cutting Saw Blade. Designed for softer metals, aluminum, brass, copper and plastics / fiberglass. Fairly thin blade. I’ll use mine to do some wood cutting. This blade has 72 teeth. Arbor size (center hole) is 1 in. I’ll need a 1 in to 5/8 in. adapter to use it on my saw. If you are going to store the blade, I’d modify the original plastic packaging and store the blade in that. Will protect your hands from the sharp teeth.

   I can use this 9″ blade on my table saw with no problems. It cuts thru the aluminum all day and never seems to get dull. It doesn’t get clogged up with the shavings and runs cool and clean. I like how it cuts a clean edge with little or no effort. On the job site I dont have to keep changing the blade to cut the different metals that we are using. The blade doesn’t burn up like some cheap blades and it lasts all day. This is a great blade and has multiple uses on the site, Good choice.

   I was extremely impressed by the quality of 12 inch circular saw blade. The cobalt infused tungsten carbide cutting tips cuts real well into almost any kind of metal, plastics and fiberglass. I use it to cut pvc piping and will probably last my lifetime. It also works extremely well on cutting fiberglass that I use on my shower wall. What makes this blade special is that there is no vibration because of the vibration slots placed strategically into the blade. I have one picture showing these holes with the use of a pencil. No need to worry about heat buildup because this blade cuts very cool. I got the blade with this many teeth because there are no/little burrs so I don’t have to bother with sanding. Excellent value if you use this type blade often.

   This Milwaukee blade is designed to be used in their metal saw and in eight inches in diameter and has 58 teeth (note the product description implies 60 teeth which is not correct). The arbor is 5/8 inch. This blade is specifically designed for aluminum, brass, copper, plastic and fiberglass. Milwaukee claims it is clean cutting and for the most part I found that true. For some of the metal I cut through there were some burs left at the end of the cut but that could have been the result of how I had the metal supported as I cut through. I felt no vibration as I performed multiple cuts. Even thought the Milwaukee metal saw has a chip catching mechanism, I did find the saw blade threw some chips a good 3 feet from the work area. Although I have not yet had an opportunity to cut plastic with the blade I am looking forward to doing so. Usually plastic items require my reciprocating saw which is a long tedious process. This blade in the metal saw should make quick work of cutting plastic.

    Great blade for thin metal, aluminum, copper, brass, and plastics. Okay for medium metal (1/8″ – 1/4″). My use will be primarily for plastics and it cut smoothly with no apparent heating, leading to a smooth edge. Fits my non-Milwaukee saw just fine and has absolutely no wobble or vibration, I guess the laser cut vibration slots assure that. The rear of the package has great information as to appropriate uses and features of the blade. Don’t let the light weight throw you off, the teeth are cobalt infused tungsten carbide which produces a superior cut and longer life.

    Robust 80 Tooth, 12-inch metal and plastic cutting blade with a 5000 RPM limit (that’s high enough to use with a conventional wood working chop saw or miter saw). I used it in my 12-inch sliding compound miter saw to cut some 1/8″ aluminum bar stock and it did great. Very smooth cuts.1-inch arbor fit my saw perfectly. The package says it is recommended for thin metal (up to 3/32″) and medium metal (1/8″ to 1/4″) but NOT for thick metal (over 1/4″).It is NOT recommended for stainless steel, but the package says nothing about plain steel. Since it spins so fast, my feeling is it should not be used for plain steel either. Wish they would list that specifically on the package to avoid any confusion.It is recommended for Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Plastic and Fiberglass.Max RPM is 5000Arbor is 1″ (25.4 mm)

    I have cut some stuff that is way beyond what it supposed to be used for.

    If you need a quick method for cutting soft metal like copper, aluminum, medium metal 1/8 to 1/4 inch and plastic or fiberglass this is the blade. I would recommend wearing eye protection and even long sleeve shirts and pants as the blade can throw small bits off when cutting the materials mentioned. I obtained to cut fiberglass roofing on a patio and am waiting on cooler weather to use. The blade cut thru the copper like it was butter so I know it will handle the fiberglass with ease.

    I had to install a Plexiglas shield at a service counter which required cutting aluminum trim and Plexiglas panels. I purchased a Milwaukee cordless metal cutting saw to go with this blade and it did the job. The blade works well with the Plexiglas with just a little gumming up from the heat and friction. It handled the aluminum trim pretty easily and was a lot easier cutting than with a hacksaw. This is a good quality blade.

    Cuts very clean on metal roof panels and trim. I love the blade and the saw. This system saves so much time!

    I installed this blade in my Milwaukee battery miter saw. As expected, the 5/8” arbor size was correct for my saw but there is no other option. I tested the 48-40-4360 10” blade and the chart on the back of the package lists the recommended and acceptable uses, plus unacceptable materials. This blade is only recommended for thin metal up to 3/32” and medium metal (1/8”-1/4”), aluminum, copper/brass, and plastic/fiberglass. Not recommended for thick steel (1/4”-1/2”) or stainless steel. There is no recommendation for wood, but it cut select pine cleanly. I tried cutting thin steel channel and the blade cut cleanly through. I also tried PVC pipe with similar results. I did not have the other materials to test. When cutting the thin metal there were some sparks thrown off so it would be best to stay clear of flammables while cutting metal. The 70 tooth blade tips are cobalt infused tungsten carbide for long life. Laser cut groves in the body of the blade help prevent blade warping during repeated use. The blade mounted with the printing on the opposite side of my original blade. Be sure to check the proper rotation with the blade arrow when mounting the blade. The back indicates the blade should be used with cordless miter saws.

    So I ordered this new blade for my metal cutting saw since it says “metal cutting circular saw blade” I use a heavy duty metal cutting blade for cutting STEEL. Glad I looked closely at the blade. Afraid to try it on steel so I used it for cutting a 1″ round stock aluminum rod. It cut nicely but I am just going to save it for the occasional cutting of soft metals. Milwaukee should re-name it ‘SOFT METAL CUTTING BLADE” I cut 100 pieces of steel for every aluminum or brass piece I cut. Nice blade, just not what I thought it was.

    The Milwaukee 7” 54 tooth saw blade is sweet! I wasn’t sure what I had until I tried it, and wow! This blade will cut brass, copper, plastics, fiberglass, and aluminum! It cuts clean (like butter), cuts cool, and dry with hardly any vibration! Load it into a 7” circular saw and you’re good to go. The teeth are cobalt infused tungsten carbide. It definitely needs to be a part of your saw blade arsenal.
