Freud DS0408CF3 Carbide Reciprocating Blade 8 Tpi 3 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS0408CF3 is a 3-pack of 4-inch, 8 TPI carbide-tipped reciprocating blades built for extreme metal cutting. Sold under the Diablo Steel Demon line, these blades are engineered to cut high-strength alloys, cast iron, and stainless steel where standard bi-metal blades fail. Carbide construction delivers up to 50 times longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal blades in thick metal applications. The increased blade body height promotes straighter cuts and reduces vibration during use, making these a practical choice for demanding metal fabrication and demolition work.

These blades are suited for cutting thick metal stock ranging from 3/16 inches to 1/2 inches in thickness. Typical applications include structural steel, heavy-gauge stainless steel, cast iron pipe, and high-strength alloy materials encountered in commercial construction, plumbing rough-in, and industrial service work. The 4-inch blade length fits standard reciprocating saws used by plumbers, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general contractors. The 3-pack format supports continuous workflow on multi-cut jobs without frequent blade changes.
