Product Description
Milwaukee PVC Saw Replacement Blade 18 in.
Model Number: 48-22-0228
The Milwaukee 48-22-0228 is an 18 in. Replacement Blade for Milwaukee 18 in. PVC/ABS Saws — the replacement cutting blade that restores the saw to full cutting performance when the original blade dulls from extended plastic pipe cutting use. Milwaukee engineers the PVC/ABS saw blade with tooth geometry specifically optimized for cutting PVC, ABS, CPVC pipe, and plastic conduit — the tooth profile, rake angle, and tooth set are calibrated for the controlled, clean cutting action in thermoplastic materials that produces flat, smooth-faced cut ends with minimal burring for proper solvent weld, compression, and mechanical joint connections. Standard wood-cutting saw blades produce rough, torn cut ends in plastic pipe because their geometry is designed for wood fiber shearing rather than the smooth plastic cutting action this replacement blade delivers.
The replacement blade format allows the Milwaukee 18 in. PVC/ABS Saw to be restored to full cutting performance at low cost rather than replacing the complete saw — the blade is the consumable element and the saw body, handle, and guide mechanism continue in service through multiple blade replacements over the saw's service life. Milwaukee replacement blades are manufactured to the correct tooth specification, tooth count, and blade geometry for the Milwaukee 18 in. PVC/ABS Saw. Using a standard hacksaw blade in the Milwaukee PVC saw body would produce inferior results because standard hacksaw geometry is optimized for metal cutting, not plastic pipe. The tool-free blade change on the Milwaukee PVC saw allows this replacement blade to be installed quickly in the field without additional tools.
Also available in 12 in. (48-22-0222) for smaller Milwaukee PVC saw models — see Milwaukee's complete PVC saw and hand saw lineup for all available sizes.
