   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.

   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.

   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 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.

   I opted for this blade to cut vinyl siding. A regular blade tends to shatter the edges and hoped this one would not. As you will see in the pictures it is almost perfect. I also tried this blade on several other materials i.e. pvc pipe, aluminum railing for mulling strips, and copper tubing. I anticipated a jerk or difficulty cutting through the aluminum and copper but it was smooth and effortless to cut through both. I will definitely purchase another one when this one gets dull.

   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.

   I used to cut aluminum square bar stock. Worked very well. Fast, burr free, very clean cuts.

   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.

    Excellent blade for cutting brass/light metals. This blade ripped through brass pipe with ease and without sharp edges – barely had to sand it down. Zero vibration while cutting! No heat or hot shards flying out – keeps it “cool” when cutting. 54 teeth provide this blade with smooth cutting and very few shards flying. Not recommended for 18-20v power tools, but with corded saw – this blade is a dream to cut light metal. It’s made in China, but with professional grade and according to Milwaukee standards. High level of confidence that this product will last. This blade is intended for light metals AND plastic/fiberglass. A perfect tungsten/carbide blade for one’s tool box! RECOMMEND!!! A+

    This is a high-quality Milwaukee 5-7/8 in. x 50 Teeth Non-Ferrous Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade for cutting aluminum, brass, copper, plastics, or fiberglass. This carbide blade can cut medium thick material 1/16 to ¼ inch thick. It can be used with the Milwaukee cordless handheld circular saw. It has cobalt infused tungsten carbide teeth and laser cut vibration slots.

    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.

    “Metal” Cutting?For SOFT METALS, this blade works well. I tested it on an aluminum threshold. Not only did it cut cleanly, (see photo) but the aluminum was cool-to-the-touch afterwards.Later I tested it on PVC pipe and PVC stair balusters. It cut those soft materials easily, as you would expect. Although I recommend faster feed-speed for plastic materials because slow-feed can cause plastic to melt. This blade is thin. That’s why it can claim to be “optimized for cordless” saws. The idea is simple; A thin blade requires less force to cut stuff, and therefore, uses less battery power. However, cutting SOFT metals is not very demanding. It’s often LESS demanding than cutting wood. You’d have to cut a LOT of thick aluminum before depleting any decent battery. Therefore, the “optimized for cordless tools” meme is largely irrelevant. That brings me to the only criticisms I have, which are NOT about the blade itself, but the WAY it is described on the HD website and the blade. Instead of saying it is a “metal cutting blade,” the product description should say “for SOFT metals,” or say “for NON-FERROUS metals.” But it DOES NOT say that in the description. That only says, “Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade.”To be fair, if you look VERY closely on a LARGE monitor, it says “Aluminum” right on the product photo, AND in some tiny side-bar photographs.But if you only read the product description you would NOT know this is ONLY for SOFT NON-FERROUS metals. And if you quickly viewed these product photos on a small phone, you could easily be led astray.I offer that information to help others avoid mistakes.Another point of contention is the advertising statement: “Optimized for cordless AND corded performance.”That makes NO sense. There ARE ONLY TWO types of power saws: 1-corded, and 2-cordless. It cannot be “optimized” for BOTH. That is as silly as saying, [This heater is] “…ideal for large AND small rooms.” Although a thin blade may require less power to use, it cannot make electric current from your outlets last longer. It can “be optimized” for one, or the other, but NOT both. That’s what “optimized” means!But to say it is “optimized” for BOTH types of tools is a confusing corruption of language and logic. Likewise, there is no need to say these are “professionally” made in China. The term “professional” means work is done to earn wages. ALL commercial products are made “professionally” in that sense. Adding that unnecessary term does NOT fool intelligent readers into believing these are inherently better than other blades that simply and honestly say, “Made in China.”It would serve Milwaukee well to hire advertising people who don’t confuse customers with silly illogical statements, or deceptive superfluous verbiage. After all, we KNOW that the appearance of a product package is important for favorable marketing images. So you KNOW that many people had to READ those words before the final design was approved. Yet apparently nobody noticed these glaring illogical statements. Hire anyone who reads English at a fourth-grade level to proofread your ad copy and product descriptions. Get someone to view these webpages on a modern mobile device so they can SEE what customers might see. Apart from the misleading product description, the light grey lettering on a white blade against a white background which is hard to see on a small screen, and that nonsensical advertising fluff, I can recommend this blade for SOFT NON-FERROUS metals like Aluminum, Copper and Brass. This blade could be used for PVC plastics in a pinch, but there are other blades specifically designed or “optimized” for those materials because they prevent melting. In fairness to Home Depot and other Chinese blades, you should search the normally excellent Home Depot website for “aluminum cutting circular saw blade.” There you will find other SOFT METAL cutting blades that are not only labeled correctly, but cost much less.

    My impression of this saw blade is excellent. I received this and put it into my portable saw, which worked as the blade is 6 1/2,” and my saw is made for a 7 1/4″ saw blade. I wanted to see if the battery saw would cut through a steel door. The advertising on the package states this blade will cut brass, copper, plastics, fiberglass, and aluminum! What is doesn’t say is it will cut steel. Well, they missed that when they printed the label because I installed a new door for a customer and decided to try to cut her old steel door so it would fit in her trash can. It cut like butter, with a beautiful smooth cut line. Word of warning, though, wear goggles because it will spray metal shavings at you. I expected some shavings but not as much as was sprayed at my face and chest. Do not attempt this without face protection. This is my new go to metal cutting saw blade.

    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.

    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 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.
