   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.

   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.

   I received the Milwaukee 6-1/2 in. x 54 Carbide Teeth Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade to review for free. This blade has carbide teeth and will work with a circular saw to cut specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals like aluminum, brass, copper, plastic and fiberglass. It’s designed to work without a lubricant and reduce heat. It’s also designed to cut burr free.

   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!

   This Milwaukee non-ferrous metal cutting circular saw blade cuts through items like butter! I actually used it to cut through 1-1/2″ PVC piping and it was so fast and easy to complete my project. The only thing I will say to be aware of is that it has a 20mm arbor which isn’t compatible with some of the circular saws out there. I have a Ryobi 18V circular saw and had to use an “adaptor” that was made by a friend and it worked fine but I would probably buy a blade that is actually made for my saw.This Milwaukee blade is high quality and cuts really well. I’ve used a lot of tool accessories by Milwaukee and have found them to last longer and perform better than other brands. This blade is made for aluminum, brass, copper, plastics and fiberglass. Just an FYI that the 5-7/8″ blade will not work on the Ryobi 5-1/2″ circular saw as it hits the safety shield. I had to install it on my 6-1/2″ circular saw so it would rotate properly without any safety worries. Remove the blade from it’s packaging by just cutting down about an inch from the top and sliding out the blade. You can then reuse the packaging to store the blade safely. I highly recommend this brand of blades.

   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.

    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.

    The blade is definitely sharp. The first cut was my finger nail as I tried to install the to my cordless circular hand saw. I was able to test it out by cutting a fiberglass to size. The cut was clean thanks to the 50 teeth. There was not too much vibration as I was cutting the fiber glass. I plan on cutting some copper using the blade and I am confident that I will also have a nice clean edge. The blade is strong and should last a myriad projects.

    I own a lot of Milwaukee tools, and like the others, this one does not disappoint! I received this to cut through some aluminum for an outdoor project. I assumed it would work based on the Milwaukee name, but this was GREAT! It cuts through aluminum like butter! The blade did not “junk” up or anything with the cutting despite quite a bit of use on this project. The edges were very smooth following the cut. Save yourself the trouble and order this blade for your aluminum, cooper, and plastic projects. It is well worth it! Oh, as a bonus- the packaging of this blade is far better than others I have received!

    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.

    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 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.

    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 8″ metal cutting blade definitely will get the job done. I use this blade in a Milwaukee m18 cordless metal saw, and I’m impressed with how smooth the cut is. The blade definitely lasted a good amount of time as long as you dont force it through the cut. The last thing you want to do is to increase the heat the blade gets from cutting so let it do the work.

    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)
