Milwaukee 48-00-5188 9 in 18 Tpi Metal Cutting Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5188 is a 5-pack of 9-inch, 18-teeth-per-inch reciprocating saw blades engineered for metal cutting applications. Marketed as part of the Super Sawzall blade lineup, these blades are designed to cut through materials ranging from 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch in thickness. The 18 TPI tooth configuration delivers controlled, clean cuts in metal stock without the aggressive tear associated with lower tooth counts. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who rely on reciprocating saws for metal demolition and rough-in work will find this pack suited to high-volume daily use.

These blades are intended for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metal in trade and light industrial settings. Typical applications include conduit cutting, tubing, channel stock, and pipe. The 9-inch blade length provides reach in confined spaces while maintaining control in open cuts. A 5-pack format suits service trucks and job-site bags where blade consumption is steady and having spares on hand reduces downtime.

Key Features

• 9-inch blade length for reach in tight spaces and standard reciprocating saw compatibility
• 18 TPI tooth configuration optimized for metal materials between 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch thick
• Suitable for conduit, tubing, channel stock, and pipe cutting
• 5-pack quantity reduces job-site restocking frequency

Compatibility

Designed for metal cutting applications involving conduit, tubing, channels, and pipe with material thickness from 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch. Compatible with standard reciprocating saw tool chucks that accept universal shank blades.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed with the saw unplugged or the battery pack removed before handling the blade. Use the reciprocating saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure and ensure the blade is fully seated and locked in the chuck before operation. Eye protection and gloves are standard PPE when cutting metal with a reciprocating saw. Discard blades showing cracked teeth, bent bodies, or visible fatigue cracks rather than continuing use.
