Milwaukee 48-00-5262 Torch Saw Blade 9in 8TPI Cast Iron

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5262 is a 9-inch recip saw blade engineered for cutting cast iron pipe and fittings. Built with Nitrus Carbide teeth, this blade resists the extreme abrasion and heat generated when cutting ferrous pipe materials on the job. At 8 teeth per inch, the tooth geometry balances cutting speed with control in dense cast iron stock. It is sized for standard reciprocating saw chucks and is intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on cast iron drain, waste, and vent systems. Each package contains 5 blades.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial plumbing renovation and new construction where cast iron pipe must be cut, modified, or removed. Typical applications include DWV stack work, underground cast iron drain replacement, and mechanical room pipework. The 9-inch length provides clearance for larger-diameter pipe cuts in confined spaces where a snap cutter or grinder is impractical. Trade professionals who regularly cut cast iron benefit from the multi-pack quantity, reducing downtime between blade changes on high-wear material.

Key Features

• Nitrus Carbide construction for high-wear resistance on cast iron and abrasive metals
• 9-inch blade length for clearance on larger pipe diameters
• 8 TPI tooth geometry balances cut speed and control in dense ferrous material
• Fits standard reciprocating saw chucks for quick field deployment
• Sold in a 5-pack to reduce blade change downtime on extended jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for use in standard reciprocating saws accepting universal shank blades, with primary application in cast iron cutting tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation of this blade is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using a reciprocating saw. Ensure the saw is powered off and the battery is removed or the tool is unplugged before changing blades. Secure the workpiece before cutting to prevent movement, and wear appropriate PPE including eye and hearing protection when cutting cast iron. Work in compliance with applicable local plumbing codes and OSHA safety standards for pipe cutting operations.
