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.

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.

Once I finally “liberated” the MILWAUKEE CIRCULAR SAW BLADE from it excessive packaging, everything else was easy-peasy!The blade installed easily. Of course, I did install the blade backwards on my saw. Thank goodness for the arrows, huh?The blade cuts well. It replaces a Milwaukee 60-tooth blade, so I did notice cleaner cuts when I used it on wood and aluminum.

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.

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.

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 attempting to cut plastic panels with the 40t ‘construction’ blade that came with my saw. I knew better from the start but it was worth the experiment. In the first few inches you could tell the edges were going to be rough and chipped and just not great. Fortunately this blade showed up shortly after and the difference was night and day. Quick, clean cuts. Much smoother edges. All around a great experience. I’ll be really curious about aluminum or copper performance, but so far so good.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
