Milwaukee 48-00-5327 12 Inch 5 Tpi Carbide Recip Blade 3 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5327 is a 3-pack of 12-inch carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blades engineered for demolition cutting in nail-embedded wood and mixed materials. Each blade runs 5 TPI, delivering fast, aggressive stock removal in framing lumber, sheathing, and structural members that contain embedded nails, screws, and fasteners. Carbide tooth technology is paired with a reinforced tooth geometry to extend service life up to 50 times longer than standard bi-metal blades under comparable demo conditions. A Nail Guard heel geometry allows the blade to ride over and rip through nails without stripping the carbide teeth. The Fang tip design enables rapid plunge cuts without pre-drilling.

These blades are suited for residential and light commercial demolition work: roofing tear-offs involving shingles and plaster, deconstruction of wood-framed walls, subfloor removal, and any application where fastener-embedded lumber is the primary cutting challenge. The 12-inch length provides reach into deep cuts and awkward framing cavities. The 5 TPI geometry prioritizes cut speed over finish quality, making these blades the right choice for rough demo, not precision trim work. Cement board products such as Durock and similar panel materials are also within the blade design scope according to manufacturer data.

Key Features

• Carbide teeth rated for up to 50 times longer life versus standard bi-metal blades in nail-embedded wood
• 5 TPI optimized for fast, aggressive cuts in framing lumber and composite demo materials
• Nail Guard heel geometry protects carbide teeth when contacting embedded nails and screws
• Fang tip design enables plunge cutting without pilot holes
• Cuts wood, nails, screws, shingles, plaster, and cement board (Durock and similar)
• Sold as a 3-pack for extended job-site availability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fit for reciprocating saws accepting standard universal shank blades. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Reciprocating saw blade changes should be performed with the tool powered off and the battery pack removed or the cord unplugged. Confirm the blade clamp mechanism is fully engaged before beginning any cut. Carbide-tipped blades are brittle under lateral torque — avoid twisting or prying motions during plunge cuts, as side loading will chip carbide teeth. Demo cutting in occupied or finished spaces may generate lead paint or asbestos-containing dust; consult applicable safety codes and wear appropriate respiratory protection.
