Milwaukee 48-00-5184 6in 18 Tpi Bi-metal Recip Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5184 is a 5-pack of 6-inch, 18 TPI bi-metal reciprocating saw blades engineered for cutting heavy gauge metal. The bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel body, delivering tooth durability without blade breakage under load. At 18 teeth per inch, these blades produce clean, controlled cuts through thin-wall and medium-wall metal stock. They are a standard consumable for electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC techs who rely on reciprocating saws for demolition and rough-in work. Each pack ships in a vinyl pouch for organized jobsite storage.

These blades are suited for cutting conduit, tubing, channels, pipe, and heavy gauge sheet metal in both residential and commercial applications. Electricians cutting EMT or rigid conduit, plumbers trimming steel pipe, and HVAC techs cutting sheet metal channel will find the 18 TPI count appropriate for material thicknesses common in trade rough-in scenarios. The 6-inch blade length provides clearance for most standard reciprocating saw strokes without excessive flex in tight spaces.
