7-1/4" 52 Tooth TCT Saw Blade for Thin Steel & Ferrous Metals

I'm an electrician and I use the milwaukee circular metal cutting saw on a daily basis to cut mostly 3/4" Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT). The milwaukee blades cost more than twice as much as this blade so I thought it be a great idea to try these saw blades out. I installed a fresh blade Friday morning and proceeded about my day. The first 2 or 3 cuts of EMT went ok then I started noticing the blade was leaving a burr on the EMT a few more cuts and this blade was definitely getting worse. I took a look inspect the saw and found several of the teeth had broken off. This blade lasted me about 10 cuts and it was garbage. I took a picture of it next to my milwaukee blade that has been used for quite a while for comparison. I wouldn't recommend this blade.

I have the Milwaukee 8" metal saw. After making about 3 cuts through thicker steel (3/16" to 1/2") I already lost 2 teeth. I went slow and let the saw move me through, but it still lost teeth. By 6 cuts, I had lost a dozen teeth and it was throwing pieces of blade out. The teeth came off, and the teeth holders were wearing off. I have used about 10 different blades and this was the worst blade I have used so far.I really loved my Diablo blades. For the money, it lasts the longest, and with 3 teeth gone, it still cuts great. The Milwaukee blades are nice, but twice the price of the Diablo. I like other Benchmark products, but these blades are crap. I could tell on my first cut it was gonna be bad..... they have a tinny ring to them. Any blade with a tinny ring while cutting seems to get dull quick.

I have used multiple blades on my cordless metal saw and this one has shown the best value for the money. If used correctly and ensuring you are cutting STRAIGHT, this blade does great. Keep in mind, these smaller metal saws are not meant to cut long lengths, best to use a plasma or torch for the longer cuts. These are meant for tubing, cross cuts of flat stock, or metal studs, etc. These are a GREAT value for the money.

I tried cutting 26 gauge metal roofing..slings chunks of small shavings and was rough cutting the roofing metal.I was wearing my safety goggles as usual and thank God .Bits of metal flew against my goggles and that was it. Threw it in the trash and loaded up my metabo cut off wheel 6" and was done with 40 sheets in 15 min.This spits projectiles like shrapnel. Would not wish this blade on anyone. Been using my Metabo and Milwaukee cut off wheels for 45 years....if I live another 45...I will never buy this nasty , dangerous blade again. I will put the word out...very unsafe stay away

Used it for cutting 7 sheets of steel roofing and zipped through like cutting through butter.Really a good investment. would recommend for anyone needing to cut steel roofing panels.I used it in my cordless circular saw and cut easy enough that I didn't need to change batteries.
