10 in. x 60 Carbide Teeth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade & 10in. x 40 Tooth General Purpose Circular Saw Blade (2-Piece)

It was finally time to get a new blade for my track saw. The old blade was just not cutting it and would bog down. I use this saw mostly for cutting down doors. The blade cuts clean and lasts a good long while. I saw these go on sale and picked up 2 of them. Will buy again when I need.

I have been a builder and remodeler for 50 years, and as such I have had many occasions where I had to cut aluminum and plastics. But while I could use other blades like a wood blade or others, often it is better if I an just use the blades made to cut the material. For example, this MILWAUKEE 10 IN. X 80 CARBIDE TEETH METAL CUTTING CIRCULAR SAW BLADE. I recently used it to cut some aluminum and also some PVC trim, and it cuts cleaner and easier than a wood blade.

The Milwaukee ten inch eighty tooth aluminum cutting saw blade is specifically designed to cut nonferrous metals, cuts are high quality and speed right through the most demanding metal cutting applications ;no lubrication is needed as this blade is designed for cool running. The metal cutting circular saw blades have hardened alloy steel bodies, thus extending blade life and delivering high quality cuts. The teeth are carbide tipped and have alternating bevel grind to shear through metal delivering burr free, cool to touch cuts. This uses tungsten carbide to extend cutting life and has laser cut vibration dampening slots to minimize heat, sound and noise. Clean, cool and burr free cuts are the claim to fame of this blade.

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.

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 installed this Milwaukee 10" General Purpose Blade on our Delta 5 HP Unisaw. I then helped a friend cut some scrap plywood so that he could make some speaker boxes. The blade seems to cut very easily and leaves a nice smooth edge with little to no tear-out on the bottom edge of the cut. Even thought the material we were cutting was not furniture grade, the cuts came out great. Very impressed!

This is a first rate saw blade. With 60 teeth, it is most often thought of as a plywood blade. But I wanted to try it on maple, wenge, padauk, and purpleheart. I was making some end grain cutting boards and needed very smooth cuts on the edges for my glue ups. I had to cut just a bit off all the edges to straighten the boards, as shown in the photos. The blade performed very well. The cuts, even on the wenge (which is a very hard wood) was clean and crisp and allowed my glue ups to go without issue. Maple can also be a problem at times as I have had saw blades chatter when finishing the cut. That did not happen with this blade. Very smooth and very precise.

A nice fine finish blade that performs very well without gumming up thanks to the anti- friction coating. This 10 inch 80 tooth saw blade is well designed and high quality. I typically use the DIABLO Red saw blades from Freud America, Inc. for my ultra fine finish saw blade needs and also have used several construction series blades from Dewalt. This blade is a competitor for the Diablo 80 tooth blade but the Diablo does cut a little cleaner in my opinion. It has the same price point and cut the several project panel veneered plywood sheets with ease and cut a 2 1/2" butcher block top without bogging or any tear out. A little sanding with a finish sander and the table top was ready to go. As for the longevity of this blade I can only say that it is still as sharp as it was when installed on my saw and only time will tell but I do not see it getting dull any time soon.
