Freud D0648CFA Metal Cutting Saw Blade 6.5 in 48T 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD D0648CFA Steel Demon Cermet II saw blade is a 6.5-inch, 48-tooth circular saw blade engineered for cutting mild and stainless steel. It uses Cermet II tooth material — a cermet formulation with high heat tolerance and increased hardness compared to standard carbide — to deliver extended service life and cleaner cuts in metal fabrication and construction applications. A triple chip grind tooth geometry and Perma-Shield non-stick coating reduce heat buildup, minimize sparks, and produce burr-free cuts. This blade is sold in a 5-pack, making it a practical supply for trade crews running repetitive metal cutting tasks. Licensed contractors, ironworkers, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users.

The D0648CFA is designed for use with 6.5-inch circular saws in both residential and commercial construction environments where structural steel, metal framing, conduit, and stainless steel components are cut regularly. The dual-material capability — mild steel and stainless steel on a single blade — reduces the need to carry separate dedicated blades to the jobsite. The 5-pack quantity suits multi-crew operations or high-volume cutting environments where blade rotation and replacement are part of normal workflow.

Key Features

• Cermet II tooth material provides high heat tolerance and increased hardness versus standard carbide-tipped metal cutting blades
• Triple chip grind geometry produces precise, burr-free cuts in both mild and stainless steel
• Perma-Shield coating reduces friction, heat buildup, and spark generation during cuts
• Rated for up to 5 times longer service life compared to standard carbide-tipped metal cutting blades
• Single blade handles both mild steel and stainless steel, eliminating dedicated blade changeovers
• Sold as a 5-pack for jobsite or shop supply stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use in 6.5-inch circular saws configured for metal cutting applications. Confirm arbor size and saw RPM rating compatibility with the saw manufacturer before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes should be performed by a qualified tradesperson with the saw fully powered down and unplugged or battery removed before any blade work. Verify the saw's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the blade RPM rating before use. Use appropriate blade guards and personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, when cutting metal. Follow applicable OSHA and tool manufacturer guidelines for abrasive and toothed metal cutting blades.
