Milwaukee 48-01-6187 Sawzall Reciprocating Saw Blade 9 in 126 Tpi

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-01-6187 is a thin kerf, bi-metal reciprocating saw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications with a SAWZALL-compatible tang. Measuring 9 inches in length with a 126-tooth configuration, this blade delivers fast, flexible cuts through sheet metal, conduit, pipe, and structural steel. Matrix II bi-metal construction combines a hardened high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel body. The blade undergoes cryogenic ice-hardening treatment for extended service life, making it a reliable choice for electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors working in tight or demanding conditions.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial trade work where metal cutting with a reciprocating saw is required. The thin kerf profile and flexible body allow it to navigate confined spaces and make flush cuts near walls, framing, or structural members. It is packaged individually and sold as a single-blade unit, compatible with standard SAWZALL and universal-shank reciprocating saw tools. It is well matched to demolition, rough-in, and service-call scenarios where blade longevity and cut speed matter.

Key Features

• Matrix II bi-metal construction combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible alloy body for durability under load
• Cryogenic ice-hardening treatment delivers up to 50% longer blade life compared to standard hardening processes
• Grid Iron honeycomb body pattern increases lateral rigidity and resists blade buckling during aggressive cuts
• Tough Neck ribbed tang design reinforces the blade-to-tool connection and minimizes tang breakage
• Optimized tooth geometry engineered for 2x the life of previous-generation blades
• Thin kerf profile reduces material drag and supports fast, flexible cutting in metal applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with SAWZALL reciprocating saws and any reciprocating saw accepting a standard universal shank blade. Fits Milwaukee SAWZALL tools and other major-brand reciprocating saws with a universal shank receiver.

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes must be performed with the tool powered off and the battery pack or power cord disconnected. Use the tool blade-clamp mechanism according to the saw manufacturer instructions — no additional tools are required for most SAWZALL-style chucks. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling reciprocating saw blades, as tooth edges are sharp. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
