Milwaukee 48-40-1228 12 Inch 100T Circular Saw Blade

Product Description

The Milwaukee 48-40-1228 is a 12-inch, 100-tooth ultra fine finish circular saw blade designed for clean, precise cuts in wood, plastic, and metal. Built from high-quality steel with a 1-inch arbor, this blade is engineered for use with 12-inch miter saws, sliding compound miter saws, and radial arm saws found in professional trade and job-site environments. The 100-tooth configuration minimizes tear-out and delivers smooth, finish-grade results, making it a go-to choice for carpenters, trim installers, and general contractors who require tight tolerances on cuts.

This blade is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where fine finish work is the priority. Typical install scenarios include interior trim work, door and window casing, cabinet installation, and plastic conduit or panel cutting. The 12-inch diameter and standard 1-inch arbor fit the majority of professional-grade 12-inch miter and table saw platforms used in the trades. Its multi-material capability makes it practical for electricians and other tradespeople who need a single blade to handle wood framing members, plastic materials, and light metal stock on the same job site.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the saw manufacturer's safety guidelines.
