Milwaukee 48-00-5261 Torch Saw Blade 6 in 8 Tpi Cast Iron 5 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5261 is a TORCH-series reciprocating saw blade engineered for cutting cast iron. Built from Nitrus Carbide, the blade material is designed to resist heat buildup and wear during demanding ferrous-metal cuts. At 6 inches in length with an 8 teeth-per-inch (TPI) tooth geometry, this blade delivers controlled, aggressive cuts through cast iron pipe, fittings, and similar hard ferrous materials. Each package contains 5 blades, making it a practical supply for service trucks and job-site replenishment. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically reach for this blade when cutting cast iron drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe during rough-in or demolition work.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications where cast iron pipe removal or modification is required. It is sized for standard reciprocating saws that accept universal shank blades. The 8 TPI count is appropriate for thick-walled cast iron stock, balancing cut speed with blade longevity. Service technicians working on older cast iron DWV systems, mechanical contractors cutting through cast iron during renovation, and restoration crews removing legacy drain lines will find the 6-inch length and Nitrus Carbide construction well matched to the material hardness they encounter.
