Milwaukee 48-01-7186 Thin Kerf Reciprocating Saw Blade 6 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-01-7186 is a thin kerf, bi-metal reciprocating saw blade engineered for metal cutting applications. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 144 TPI tooth count, it fits any standard reciprocating saw via a 1/2 inch universal shank. The blade body is designed with a honeycomb pattern for added rigidity, reducing buckling during aggressive cuts. A reinforced tang area resists breakage under repeated stress. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pipefitters will find this blade suited for cutting conduit, pipe, sheet metal, and structural steel in tight spaces where blade flex and tang failure are common failure points.

This blade is intended for metal cutting in both residential and commercial trade work. The thin kerf profile minimizes material removal and reduces binding in confined cuts. The short, slim body geometry allows access in restricted areas common to mechanical room retrofits, panel work, and rough-in plumbing or conduit runs. It is sold as a single blade unit and is compatible with any reciprocating saw accepting a standard 1/2 inch universal tang shank.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery removed. Confirm the shank is fully seated and locked in the blade clamp before operation. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are standard PPE when operating reciprocating saws. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
