Product Description
Milwaukee 5 in. 6 TPI Plaster Sawzall Blades — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-00-5052
The Milwaukee 48-00-5052 is a 5-pack of 5 in. 6 TPI Plaster Sawzall Blades — a specialty reciprocating saw blade engineered specifically for cutting plaster walls and ceilings in renovation and remodel work where plaster over wood or metal lath must be cut cleanly without the blade snagging on the embedded lath structure beneath the plaster surface. Standard metal-cutting or wood-cutting Sawzall blades are not designed for plaster cutting — their tooth geometries and blade thicknesses interact poorly with plaster's composition and the embedded lath structure, causing blade catching, wall cracking, and irregular cuts that require additional repair work. Milwaukee's plaster blade specification addresses the unique cutting challenges of plaster over lath with a tooth geometry and blade configuration that allows the blade to cut through both the plaster coat and the underlying wood or metal lath structure in a single cutting pass without the catching and binding that damages surrounding plaster.
The 6 TPI coarse tooth count provides adequate material removal for productive cutting through plaster and lath assemblies at the typical wall and ceiling thicknesses encountered in older residential and commercial construction, and the 5 in. blade length provides enough working length to cut through the plaster-plus-lath assembly depth with clearance to complete each stroke. Renovation contractors, remodelers, and general contractors who open plaster walls for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural work regularly encounter plaster in pre-drywall construction — the Milwaukee plaster blade provides a professional tool for this specific cutting task rather than forcing the use of inappropriate general-purpose blades that damage the work. The 5-pack provides multi-blade supply for renovation projects involving significant plaster cutting work.
