Milwaukee 48-00-5093 8 in 8/12T Bi-metal Recip Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-00-5093 is a 5-pack of 8-inch bi-metal reciprocating saw blades with an 8/12 TPI variable tooth configuration. These blades are designed for all-purpose cutting across a wide range of materials, including nail-embedded wood, composition materials, plastic, non-ferrous metals, and cast iron. The bi-metal construction pairs a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel body, delivering durability under demanding jobsite conditions. Packaged in a vinyl pouch, they are suited for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades where versatility and blade longevity matter.

These blades are intended for use in residential and commercial trade applications where a single blade must handle mixed-material cuts. Typical install scenarios include cutting through framed walls with embedded fasteners, trimming plastic pipe, removing cast iron drain sections, and general demolition work. The 8/12 variable tooth pitch transitions between aggressive material removal and smoother finish cuts, making this pack a practical multi-trade consumable for service and installation work alike.
