Milwaukee 6-1/2 in. x 48 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade Love these tool replacements from them. I totally burnt up my last blade on my battery operated power saw on a previous job or two. Found this one which had multiple serious cutting teeth that actually fit on my saw. This is truly a universal blade and top quality as well. Makes short work of my cutting projects. Just make sure the circumference matches you saw dimensions and it bolts right up and ready for use.

This is a great metal-cutting blade for any circular saw. I used it to cut sheet metal for a pole barn I am building, and this blade (in combination with my Milwaukee cordless circular saw) was definitely up for the job. It cut through the sheet metal with ease, and left a nice clean edge on the sheets of steel. As with any metal-cutting job, make sure to wear gloves and eye protection, because this blade produces a lot of hot shavings (as expected). Also be careful to not throw away the arbor adapter that comes with the blade. The 20mm arbor hole was too large for my saw, so I had to dig through the trash to find the clear arbor adapter that was included.

We have had a lot of square metal channels to cut and doing it by hand with a hacksaw was wearing my husband out. We decided to see if we could find a way to use one of our existing power tools to cut them faster and better. We found this specialized and fairly rare blade nine inches in diameter with a 1 inch arbor. Commercially, we sense that the blade is primarily used with a high end cut off saw. We are now using this blade to cut all our metal projects, and we could not be more pleased. It cuts so easily. The cut is extremely smooth. And most shocking to us, the metal and the blade stay cool. Based on the number of cuts we have already made, along with looking at the condition of the blade, we are predicting that it will stay sharp and cutting smooth for a long time.

The Milwaukee brand is absolutely wonderful. What an awesome blade! My husband wears the other brands out much more quickly than these. They seem to last so much longer and he says that they stay very sharp for a really long time.You can’t go wrong with this blade as it is exactly what is advertised. Strong, sharp and fits the saw perfectly!

I received the MILWAUKEE 6-1/2 IN. X 48 CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING CIRCULAR SAW BLADE to test for The Home Depot. I used it with my circular 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 10 inch 50 carbide teeth metal cutting circular saw blade is well made and designed to get the job done. It is rated for cutting steel and aluminum in medium 1/16 to 3/16 thickness. I found it to adequate for the job and easy to work with. I especially liked the packaging that provides easy removal from the plastic sleeve and easy storage after use.

This will come in handy when we start installing metal sheeting under our deck for a closed overhang. We have a Milwaukee circular saw with the 7″ blade and will use this one for our project. We like the Milwaukee brand, it has been reliable and easy to use for both myself and my husband. This should be good to use for dry metal cutting. The blades feature Carbide-Tipped Teeth with Alternate Top Bevel grind enabling users to shear through metal delivering you burr-free, cool-to-touch cuts.

The Milwaukee 7 1/4 inch x 48 carbide teeth metal cutting circular saw blade with 20 mm arbor appears to be a heavy duty quality saw blade. My husband could not use it because of the 20 mm arbor. It doesn’t fit any of his Ryobi circular saws. He stated that if he had a grommet, he probably would have been able to use it. My suggestion is to pay attention to the arbor sizes when purchasing saw blades.

I discovered after I received this blade that it is rated for use with a saw having a maximum rotational speed of 2000 RPM. I had planned to mount it on my miter saw and to use it to cut 1/8” steel angle for a project I’ve started. Unfortunately, my saw has a no-load rotation speed of 3200 RPM, which exceeds the maximum recommended speed by 50%. I looked at the specs on several miter saws, both corded and battery powered, and all of them had rotational speeds in the 3000-4000 RPM range. And its diameter is too large for use on my table saw, which can be operated at speeds below 2000 RPM. I contacted Milwaukee customer support and I’m waiting to hear if they have a recommendation for a miter saw that can be used with the blade. §In the meantime, I can report that this is a beautifully crafted saw blade. The kerf is 3/32”. I appreciate that the product package can be used as protective storage for the blade when it’s not in use. §Professionally made in China.

A hand-tensioned, hardened alloy steel body extends blade life and delivers the highest quality cuts available. Carbide tipped teeth with Alternate Top Bevel grind shear through metal leaving burr-free, cool-to-touch cuts. Designed for use with the M18 Cordless 5-3/8 in. Metal Saw, these blades feature a thin kerf that reduces the amount of drag and resistance while cutting, resulting in more cuts per charge.

I must confess while I have used a circular saw to build my garage storage shelves, I don’t know much about the different size blades that are available. When I ordered this 6-7/8 inch blade, I expected it to fit what I considered a normal sized consumer saw, I was wrong. After going through three different brands of saws, including a cordless, I had no luck mounting the blade. As my neighbor mentioned it doesn’t say on the packaging what type of saw you need for this blade. The packaging does say 6-7/8 inch with an arbor (center opening) of 20 mm. We both thought it would replace a 7 inch blade. Maybe he and I are the only ones that think that way, I surely hope so.What I can tell you about the blade is that it comes in an easy to open blister pack. As it does not include any kind of tooth guard you’ll need this blister pack to store your blade. Despite being a 36 tooth blade the packaging claims it will cut plastic and fiberglass. Usually these material require a blade with 50 to 60 tooth. It includes 4 laser cut vibration slots, and the Colbalt infused tungsten carbide tip allows for cooler running. A close inspection of the blade reveals nicks and scratch marks behind most of the blade tips varying from almost non-existent to heavy. I would not expect this to have any impact on cutting but was surprised at the randomness of the markings. The packaging claims it is a metal cutting blade, but it is only stated on the back side that this blade is not recommended for stainless steel. It is also only on the back that it states for “use with cordless handheld saw”. Approved metals for cutting include aluminum, copper, brass and medium metal (1/8″ – 1/4″).Before purchasing, make sure you know exactly what blade size and arbor your circular saw accepts.

Be Careful with this blade! Max 2000 RPM limit! Excellent blade for the correct (slower) saw.Most 12-inch wood working miter and chop saws and abrasive cut off saws run from 3500 to 4000 RPM. That is WAY too fast for this blade. If you have the correct saw for this blade (12-inch, 1-inch arbor, running below 2000 RPM), it is an awesome tool. Teeth are beautifully polished. Seems a shame to cut metal with it. ha ha.The package says it is recommended for medium (1/8 inch to 1/4 inch) and thick (1/4 inch to 1/2 inch) metal. The front of the blade says it is for Steel, Aluminum, Strut, AllThread, and Angle Iron.It IS NOT recommended for cutting Stainless Steel.It has a 1″ (25.4mm) arbor

I used this blade to cut a steel 1/2 inch pipe. The blade made a straight and accurate cut with a little debris coming of the blade. Recommend glasses and ear protection since the blade is throwing pieces when cutting through steel. I placed the blade on a circular saw and my only suggestion is that they put a notch so it sits better on the saw. The blade is rated for thin through thick metal, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and fiberglass. I wish they made this in the USA, not China.

I only use MILWAUKEE 7-1/4 IN. X 48 CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING CIRCULAR SAW BLADE for any medium to heavy metal cutting job I have. The cobalt infused tungsten carbide has laser cut vibration holes (see closeup photo of blade) that keeps the blade from wobbling and warping. I really like the fact that these blades don’t get as hot as others tend to do and they last much longer than any other brand I’ve tried. I highly recommend these. TIP: wear proper eye protection when cutting metal.

The Milwaukee 7-1/4 inch metal blade is an absolute pleasure to use.I am mending some gutters that have become worn and was using a hack saw to cut the gutters.This metal cutting blade is a godsend. Slices through aluminun gutters like butter!I am using the Milwaukee metal blade in my Ridgid cordless circular saw and the blade leaves a very clean cut. Now I’m only cutting through thin metal right now, and so far I’m extremely pleased with the cut quality of the blade.This blade is rated to slice through angle iron and metal up to half an inch thick. Holy moly, can’t wait to use this blade on my other projects at the farm house! I’ll probably use it cut down some iron rods to shape a barn door stop rod I’ve been meaning to make for ages!I am very pleased with this blade.HIghly recommended.

This Milwaukie carbide saw blade is really nice. It cuts clean and says it cuts cooler, although I hadn’t noticed either way on that. This blade is recommended for cutting 1/4″ – 1/8″ medium metal. It has a longer blade life compared to previous generations of Milwaukie circular saw blades. Instructions are written in English, Spanish and French. Recommended use for hand held circular saws. Made in China.

The MILWAUKEE 7 IN. X 48 CARBIDE TEETH metal cutting circular saw blade is designed to cut stainless steel, aluminum, and steel with a clean and smooth cut. Until we got this blade we were cutting metal with a jig saw or Sawzall, even tin snips, and this blade makes cutting metal smooth, cool, quick and consistent. Use it in a chop saw or circular saw.

Cuts 1/8” aluminum well, fits nicely on a Ryobi 7” brushless circular saw. My tools are Ryobi, with all my batteries, so I wanted this blade on my existing saw. The Ryobi has a smaller mounting hole than this saw blade, but luckily provides a beveled washer/arbor to accommodate different hole sizes. The blade cut both aluminum 1/8 sheet and 3/16” angle easily enough. I would recommend this for cutting at a job site or for oversized items that can’t easily fit into a bandsaw. Compared to my 10” cross-cut saw, this has a thinner kerf. My video shows how to change the blade on a Ryobi saw (many other brands operate the same way) and demonstrate an actual aluminum plate cut.

It might seem crazy that you can actually cut metal by using a carbide blade and not a fiber blade. But yes, you can with these blades. The types of blades leave a cleaner cut than regular fiber blades, and tend to cut cooler. You have to allow the blade to cut as you feed and not push the blade through as you would cutting wood or plastic. the blade leaves a fine finish that needs little dressing. I prefer this type of blade over fiber.
