Milwaukee Tool 48-39-0540 Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-39-0540 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in the field. It measures 1/2 inch wide and 0.020 inches thick, with a constant 10 teeth-per-inch (TPI) pitch pattern and a straight raker tooth set. The cutting teeth are high speed steel (HSS), bonded to a flexible alloy steel back that resists breakage under the stress of portable use. This blade is suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pipefitters who rely on portable bandsaws for cutting conduit, pipe, strut, and structural stock on the jobsite.

This blade is designed for use in portable bandsaw applications where a moderate TPI count provides a balance between cut speed and surface finish. The 10 TPI configuration performs well on thin-wall tubing, electrical conduit, light structural steel, and similar trade materials. The straight tooth form and raker set clear chips efficiently during continuous cuts, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life in repetitive cutting tasks.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible alloy steel back
• 10 TPI constant pitch for balanced cut speed and finish on thin-wall and light structural materials
• Raker tooth set with straight rake angle promotes efficient chip clearance
• 1/2 inch blade width and 0.020 inch thickness suited for standard portable bandsaw form factors
• Flexible back resists fatigue cracking under the vibration and flex of portable use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for portable bandsaws accepting a 1/2 inch wide bi-metal blade format. Verify blade length against your tool's specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with portable bandsaw operation. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source or remove the battery before changing blades. Confirm blade tracking and tension per the tool manufacturer's guidelines before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during installation and removal.
