Milwaukee Tool 48-40-0742 7-1/4 in 24T Saw Blade 2-pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-40-0742 is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade engineered for woodworking and general-purpose cutting applications. Sold in a 2-pack, each blade measures 7-1/4 inches in diameter with a 24-tooth multipurpose carbide-tipped configuration that delivers fast, aggressive cuts through dimensional lumber, OSB, and similar wood-based materials. The 0.385-inch blade thickness provides rigidity under load, while the 0.071-inch kerf width minimizes material waste. The 5/8-inch arbor hole with round diamond knockout ensures compatibility across a wide range of circular saw platforms. Licensed tradespeople and experienced contractors rely on this blade for framing, rough carpentry, and production cutting where speed matters over finish quality.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial construction environments where a 7-1/4-inch circular saw is the primary cutting tool. The 24-tooth count makes it ideal for framing cuts, subfloor installation, and sheathing work where cut speed is prioritized. The carbide-tipped tooth configuration handles repetitive cuts through framing lumber and engineered wood products without rapid edge degradation. This pack quantity supports crews that rotate blades frequently to maintain cutting performance on the job site.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or tradesperson with the saw unplugged or battery removed before any blade change. Confirm blade rotation direction matches the arrow marked on the blade body before securing the arbor nut. Use the correct arbor wrench for the saw model and verify the blade guard operates freely after installation. Follow applicable jobsite safety requirements and tool manufacturer guidelines for blade torque and guard use.
