Milwaukee 10 in. x 72 Carbide Teeth Aluminum Cutting Circular Saw 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.

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 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.

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.

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. 

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 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.

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.

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.
