M.k. Morse 102704 Metal Cutting Saw Blade 8 in 42T

Product Description

The M.K. MORSE 102704 is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade engineered for cutting steel in wet or dry operating conditions. Measuring 8 inches in diameter with a 5/8-inch round arbor hole, this blade features 42 solid carbide teeth arranged in a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) pattern. The TCG tooth geometry alternates flat and chamfered cutting edges, reducing burring and extending tooth life when cutting ferrous metals. With a kerf width of 0.079 inches and a blade body thickness of 0.063 inches, it removes minimal material while maintaining a clean, controlled cut. This blade is suited for metal fabricators, pipe fitters, and sheet-metal tradespeople who need consistent performance on steel stock.

This blade is designed for metal cutting applications on steel workpieces using stationary or portable circular saws and cold saws that accept an 8-inch, 5/8-inch arbor blade. It performs in both wet (coolant-assisted) and dry cutting setups, making it adaptable across shop environments. Typical applications include cutting steel bar stock, structural steel, and tubing. This part replaces SKU 55049365.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth pattern reduces burring and prolongs blade life on ferrous metals
• Solid carbide teeth withstand the heat and friction generated during steel cutting
• Compatible with both wet coolant-fed and dry cutting saw setups
• 0-degree hook angle provides a stable, controlled cut and reduces blade grab on metal
• 0.079-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Round 5/8-inch arbor fits a wide range of stationary and portable saw spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel in wet or dry cut saws accepting an 8-inch diameter blade with a 5/8-inch round arbor. Replaces SKU 55049365.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworker or tradesperson familiar with circular saw blade changes. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing or installing the blade. Confirm the saw arbor diameter and blade rotation direction match before securing the arbor nut. When using in wet cutting applications, verify coolant lines are clear and flowing before beginning the cut.
