7-1/4 in. x 24-Tooth Wood Cutting Framer Circular Saw Blade

The Milwaukee blade is an overall good 7 1/4 inch blade, especially for framing. It holds up well and stay sharp.

I’ve been using this Milwaukee 5-3/8" Metal Cutting Blade on my M12 circular saw, and it’s a total game-changer. If you’re still using those old-school abrasive wheels that throw sparks everywhere and wear down in five minutes, you need to switch. The first thing I noticed is how incredibly clean the cuts are. I’ve been running it through EMT conduit, strut, and even some stainless, and it leaves a burr-free edge that’s actually cool to the touch. You don't have to spend forever filing down the ends before you can use them. The thin kerf makes a huge difference, especially on the M12 platform. Since it's a smaller saw, you need all the efficiency you can get, and this blade doesn't bog down the motor at all. I’m getting way more cuts per battery charge than I expected. It’s also surprisingly quiet and doesn't "walk" or vibrate when you start a cut. It’s definitely pricier than a cheap abrasive disc, but it lasts so much longer that it pays for itself pretty quickly. Just make sure you’re using it on the right materials—don't try to force it through super thick plate steel or you'll dull the carbide tips. For electrical and HVAC work, this is the only blade I’m keeping in my bag.

To be upfront I got this saw blade free from the Milwaukee trials program. I wanted to leave an unbiased review so I’ve waited 2.5years and had this ultra fine blade in my table and miter saws. It is perfect in my miter saw as it should be. I liked it so much I bought the Milwaukee 100tooth ultra fine finish blade for my 12in miter saw. When used correctly it doesn’t burn and can leave a slightly polished/burnished edge to some materials. Used it to cut pvc trim, mdf, treated lumber, cedar, hardwood flooring, pvc sched40 pipe, 2by lumber, and xps trim. This blade is perfect for mdf and pvc trim and worked really well on the soft cedar. I had slight burning on some hardwood flooring cuts but that could’ve been from my careless fast cuts. Seldomly did I have any tear out or rough edged cuts. To abuse it..I used it in the table saw to cut a 2x6 down to roughly 5/8x6. Ran a few passes and obviously it burned and didn’t have the gullets to eject enough chips and cool. Since that I’ve used it to cut window trim without issue. Also cut nail embedded old wood down with this and hit nails and fasteners multiple times.. it ended up chipping 2 of the carbide teeth, but I still use it and it’s great. Only issue I had was after all this I cleaned it with dawn dish soap only once and afterwards it seemed to have noticeably more friction on deeper cuts could be the anti friction coating is gone at this point. Overall it’s such a good blade I bought more to me it feels on par or better than it’s red competitor

I love these blades! They cut smoothly, stay sharp, and are surprisingly quiet. I grew up in an era when everything made ear bleeding noise and somehow the folks at Milwaukee found a way to make a saw blade that seems to never get dull and is quiet. AMAZING!

This is a long-term review of the Milwaukee 12" 80-Tooth saw blade. I put through its paces on several jobs. This is a solid choice for anyone looking to make clean, precise cut. The blade design minimizes tear-out, leaving smooth edges on materials like plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods perfect for projects where appearance matters. While it’s pricier than some competitors, the durability and quality make it worth it for serious DIYers or pros. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-performing blade that delivers on its promises.

Quality blades and a good price when on sale

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cuts very smooth as it should. Ive made a lot of cuts and still no signs of it going dull. I expect this blade will last a while for me. Made of the highest quality. I also love the colors Milwaukee uses so that is part of why I love Milwaukee, and the reliability and durability is top notch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the 10" 80T blade on 2 projects, which included weather treated boards, plywood, hardwood, and soft wood material. The blade makes a smooth cut and seems to hold a sharp edge. When this blade wears out, I will replace with another Milwaukee blade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These blades work great for wood cutting. I use them on a daily basis for my roofing/framing work. Although If I had to compare, I feel the Diablo blades cut a little smoother. If I’m not buying Diablo, I’m definitely snagging these!! Thank you for selecting me to review your products.
