Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II Saw Blade for Medium Metal - 14" x 72-Teeth

I have an Evolution metal cutting saw that I purchased recently. In the past I have always used a grinder or chop saw with an abrasive blade to cut metal but I was introduced to cold saws about 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with them. They cut quickly, don't make sparks, dust and a mess like abrasive blades do and you can handle the steel immediately without worrying about burning your hand. The biggest drawbacks to these cold cut saws are the blades as they are much more expensive than an abrasive blade and if not used correctly can dull rather quickly. The blade that came with my saw was a multi-material blade which worked fairly well but became dull rather quickly after I cut some stainless steel. I was going to replace it with another Evolution blade that was specifically designed for ferrous metals but in looking around on YouTube found a guy on who had tested many blades and this Diablo came out as one of the best for overall performance. I've used Diablo blades in the past for wood working and was always happy with their performance so I decided to try this one. I've only made about a half dozen cuts so far (on 14 gauge square tubing) but the blade cut quickly, accurately and generated very little heat so so far so good. The biggest question, however, is the one I can't answer yet which is longevity. Will this blade be junk 10 cuts from now or is it going to last for a while? I'll have to reserve commenting on this till I use it more and then update my review but at this time I'm quite pleased.

Best blade around. Stays sharp and the teeth dont fall off like cheap blades. I cut a lot of stainless and tubing, no issues after thousands of cuts.

I bought a pre-owned Morse chop saw and only got a handful of cuts through stainless before the teeth broke away on the oem blade. I didn’t wanna spend the money on high dollars ones so I bought this one. I must say, it’s cuts just as good as the Morse blade if not better! So far no damages teeth on the blade and I’ve probably made over 10 cuts through stainless steel!! Impressed so far and good for the money, will buy another one if I ever wear it out!

I thought I would not go back to abrasive discs in my chop saw. This blade cuts fast. It makes larger sparks because its cutting out chips so you really do need to pay attention where they are going if your saw is used in many locations. With a lower power saw you need to apply minimal pressure or the blade will stop the motor. Once you get used to that its fine. Yes, its expensive. The quality and speed of the cuts make up for the cost until it gets dull. I cut 6 pieces of 2x2 square tube and some 3/4" threaded rod, blade is done... Not worth the cost.

I have an evolution cut off saw that is meant to have a non abrasive blade. This works great, very minor de-burr work required after cuts. We have used two of these in 2 1/2 years without any issues while building custom cars, so it get used a lot. Anyone who says they dull out in short order is probably using this blade on a saw who's RPM is way too high. The abrasive type saws work at a higher speed, so replacing an abrasive wheel with this is a terrible idea and I hope that you are wearing a flak jacket and a face shield if you do.

The blade dulled incredibly fast! Made 3 cuts through 2 7/8 oil pipe and it was done. No teeth were chipped or broken, it just stopped cutting. Looks like I’m going back to using Evolution blades…

Great product

El producto se ve de muy buena calidad, teníamos muchas ganas de probarlo ya que no lo recomendaron muchoz tristemente no funcionaba para mi cortadora y tuve que regresarlo, el vendedor debería escribir sobre la foto la advertencia de máximo de rpm =(
