Milwaukee Tool 48-39-0546 Bandsaw Blade 10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-39-0546 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade designed for use in portable bandsaw tools across cutting applications in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general trade work. The blade measures 1/2 inch wide and 0.020 inches thick, with a constant 10 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch pattern suited for smooth, consistent cuts through a range of materials. The high speed steel teeth are set in a raker pattern with a straight tooth form and straight rake angle, delivering controlled chip clearance during cuts. The alloy steel back is rated flexible, reducing blade fatigue and breakage during curved or demanding cuts. This blade is a single-piece replacement unit aimed at professionals who keep their portable bandsaw running at job-site capacity.

This blade fits portable bandsaw applications common in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical trades where cutting pipe, conduit, strut, and light structural steel is routine. The 10 TPI constant pitch is a general-purpose configuration, performing well on thin-wall tubing and solid stock up to moderate diameter. It is not intended for contour cutting. Trade professionals working in tight spaces or overhead will find the portable bandsaw format and this blade's flexible back well suited to the task.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on portable bandsaws should be performed by a qualified tradesperson with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed before beginning. Follow the tool manufacturer's blade-tensioning and tracking procedure for the specific saw model. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges remain sharp even when the blade is not in motion. Inspect the blade guides and wheel bearings for wear any time a blade is replaced.
