Product Description
Milwaukee Super Sawzall Blade 18 TPI 3-5/8 in.
Model Number: 48-00-5163
The Milwaukee 48-00-5163 is a Super Sawzall Blade at 18 TPI in 3-5/8 in. length — a premium bi-metal reciprocating saw blade from Milwaukee's Super Sawzall specification for clean, accurate cuts in thin metal in professional trade applications requiring the finest available tooth count in a compact blade format. The Super Sawzall specification represents Milwaukee's premium blade manufacturing tier with advanced blade steel, precision tooth geometry, and heat treatment calibrated specifically for professional performance. The 18 TPI fine-tooth count at 3-5/8 in. blade length combines two performance attributes for thin metal cutting in confined spaces — 18 TPI provides the maximum standard tooth density for the smoothest possible cut surface and minimum burr formation on thin-wall tubing, conduit, and sheet metal, while the 3-5/8 in. compact blade length fits tight-clearance cutting situations where longer blades cannot reach the cutting position or where blade stiffness in short material reduces lateral deflection for more accurate cuts.
The compact 3-5/8 in. length is specifically designed for cutting in enclosures, at flush cuts against surrounding structure, inside panel boxes, and in any confined cutting situation where standard 4 in. and longer blades cannot maneuver or where the reduced blade length provides better control and accuracy. Bi-metal construction bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible alloy steel body — at 18 TPI, the HSS tooth hardness is critical for maintaining the fine cutting edge geometry that produces clean cuts, while the alloy body flexibility prevents blade fracture under the bending loads that occur when cutting in tight positions with short blades that experience more concentrated bending than longer blades. Premium Super Sawzall quality ensures consistent cut performance and extended blade life compared to standard-grade blades at the same specification.
