Product Description
Milwaukee 9 in. 6 TPI Fleam Ground Sawzall Blades — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-00-5016
The Milwaukee 48-00-5016 is a 5-pack of 9 in. 6 TPI Fleam Ground Sawzall Blades — a specialty wood-cutting reciprocating saw blade with a fleam ground tooth geometry specifically engineered for fast, clean cuts in clean wood, dimensional lumber, and wood framing materials where maximum cutting speed in clean material is the primary performance requirement. Fleam grinding is a specialized tooth sharpening geometry where each tooth is ground at two intersecting angles — a primary bevel angle and a secondary side bevel (the "fleam") — creating a sharp pointed tooth tip with cutting edges on both the leading face and the side face of each tooth. This geometry produces a tooth that shears wood fibers cleanly with a slicing action rather than the crushing and tearing action of standard chisel-ground teeth, which results in cleaner cut surfaces, faster cutting speed in clean wood, and a characteristic cutting action that Milwaukee specifically calls out for clean wood performance.
The 6 TPI coarse tooth pitch maximizes material removal rate per stroke in clean wood — each large, widely-spaced tooth removes a substantial chip per cutting stroke, advancing through dimensional lumber and framing materials faster than finer-tooth specifications. The combination of fleam ground geometry and 6 TPI coarse pitch produces the fastest possible clean-wood cutting action available in a Sawzall blade specification. The 9 in. blade length provides the reach for cutting through thick lumber sections, double members, and large-dimension framing materials where shorter blades would limit depth of cut. These blades are optimized for clean, nail-free wood — they are not designed for cutting nail-embedded wood, metal, or composite materials. The 5-pack provides an economical blade supply for contractors who do regular clean-wood Sawzall cutting.
For nail-embedded and mixed wood-metal cutting, Milwaukee's bi-metal Sawzall blades provide the impact toughness and durability needed for demolition cutting in existing wood framing — see Milwaukee's full Sawzall lineup for all available specifications.
