Freud D0748CFA Cermet Circular Saw Blade 7-1/4 in 48T

Product Description

The FREUD D0748CFA is a 7-1/4 inch, 48-tooth cermet circular saw blade engineered for metal cutting applications. Cermet teeth combine ceramic and metallic compounds to deliver high heat tolerance and increased hardness, extending blade life in demanding ferrous and non-ferrous cutting scenarios. A triple chip tooth geometry reduces sparks and produces burr-free finishes that require no rework. The blade features a laser-cut thin kerf design that minimizes resistance and heat buildup, making it well suited for licensed tradespeople, metal fabricators, and mechanical contractors cutting conduit, strut, pipe, and sheet metal on the job site.

This blade is designed for use in residential and commercial trade applications where clean, accurate cuts in metal are required. It fits circular saws with a 5/8 inch arbor and is packaged in bulk quantities of 5 blades per unit. Advanced laser-cut stabilizer vents trap noise and vibration for maximum blade stability, keeping the blade cool and tracking straight through material. The Perma-Shield non-stick coating protects the plate against gumming and corrosion, while a laser-cut arbor reduces vibration and premature wear during extended use.

Key Features

• Cermet ceramic-metallic teeth provide high heat tolerance and superior wear resistance
• Triple chip tooth design reduces sparks and delivers burr-free, no-rework finishes
• Laser-cut thin kerf reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup for accurate cuts
• Advanced laser-cut stabilizer vents minimize noise and vibration for maximum stability
• Perma-Shield non-stick coating resists gumming and corrosion on the blade plate
• Tri-metal shock-resistant brazing secures teeth under high-stress metal cutting loads
• Laser-cut arbor design reduces vibration and premature wear for true blade rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for circular saws accepting a 5/8 inch arbor and accommodating a 7-1/4 inch blade diameter, intended for metal cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the circular saw manufacturer's safety guidelines. Always disconnect power or remove the battery pack before changing blades. Use the correct arbor wrench and follow blade-direction markings on the plate to ensure proper tooth orientation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when cutting metal.
