Milwaukee Tool 48-39-0549 Bandsaw Blade 24 Tpi 1/2 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-39-0549 is a bi-metal portable bandsaw blade engineered for cutting applications that demand a fine, consistent finish. It runs 24 teeth per inch on a constant-pitch, straight-tooth raker pattern, making it well suited for thin-walled materials and tight-tolerance cuts. The high speed steel teeth are bonded to a flexible alloy steel back, giving the blade durability through repeated flexing without premature tooth loss. At 1/2 inch wide and 0.02 inches thick, it fits the standard portable bandsaw format used across electrical, plumbing, and mechanical trades.

This blade is intended for portable bandsaw use in residential and commercial jobsite environments. It handles tasks such as cutting conduit, pipe, strut, threaded rod, and small structural stock. The 24 TPI constant pitch is best matched to thin materials and tubing where a coarser blade would cause tooth stripping or rough edges. Electricians, pipefitters, and general mechanical contractors are the primary installers who stock this blade for day-to-day portable bandsaw work.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement should be performed by a qualified tradesperson with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed before beginning. Verify blade tension and tracking per the tool manufacturer guidelines before making a cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bare bandsaw blades, as the tooth edge presents a laceration hazard during installation and removal.
