Milwaukee 48-00-5189 12 in 18 Tpi Metal Cutting Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-00-5189 is a 5-pack of 12-inch, 18 teeth-per-inch (TPI) Super Sawzall reciprocating saw blades engineered for metal cutting applications. Each blade is designed to cut through materials ranging from 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch in thickness, making them well-suited for conduit, tubing, structural channels, and pipe. The 18 TPI configuration produces clean, controlled cuts in thinner-wall metal stock. Electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general mechanical contractors rely on this blade profile for day-to-day rough-in and demolition work involving metal materials.

These blades are intended for use in residential and commercial trade applications where metal conduit, pipe, and tubing cuts are routine. Typical install scenarios include cutting EMT or rigid conduit during electrical rough-in, trimming copper or steel pipe during plumbing service, and cutting unistrut or structural channel during equipment support framing. The 5-pack format keeps jobsite inventory stocked across multi-day projects or high-volume cutting tasks.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement and installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the reciprocating saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Always disconnect or power down the tool before changing blades. Secure the workpiece before cutting to prevent movement and ensure a controlled cut. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when cutting metal materials.
