Milwaukee 48-40-4070 Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade 5-3/8in

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-40-4070 is a 5-3/8 inch, 30-tooth carbide-tipped circular saw blade engineered for dry metal cutting, including stainless steel. The hand-tensioned, hardened alloy steel body maintains blade stability under load and extends service life in high-cycle cutting environments. Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind geometry shears through metal leaving cuts that are burr-free and cool to the touch immediately after cutting. No cutting lubricant is required. This blade is installed and used by contractors, fabricators, and trade professionals working in demanding metal cutting applications where cut quality and blade longevity are critical.

This blade is suited for use in residential and commercial construction, mechanical, and fabrication settings where ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, must be cut cleanly and efficiently. It fits standard 5-3/8 inch circular saws and is designed for production-level cutting frequency without sacrificing edge quality or requiring coolant. Typical applications include cutting metal framing, pipe, sheet stock, and stainless steel components on the jobsite or in a shop environment.
