Milwaukee 48-00-1610 Rough in Sawzall Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-1610 is a 5-pack of 7-3/8-inch rough-in reciprocating saw blades engineered for plumbing and framing rough-in work. Each blade measures 7.375 inches long, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.062 inches thick. The low blade profile is sized to cut 2-1/8-inch diameter holes, which is the correct clearance for 1-1/2-inch PVC pipe. The 7-3/8-inch length gives the blade enough reach to cut through double top plates in a single pass. These blades are installed and used by plumbers and rough framing crews working on new residential and light commercial construction.

These blades are designed specifically for rough-in plumbing applications where holes must be bored through framing members including top plates, bottom plates, and subfloors. The Fang Tip geometry allows fast plunge cuts directly through bottom plates and subfloors without a starter hole. The Nail Guard design protects blade teeth from fracturing when the blade contacts nails embedded in dimensional lumber, which is a common condition in both new framing and remodel work. This makes the blade practical for retrofit and remodel plumbing rough-in as well as new construction.
