Product Description
Milwaukee 10-1/4 in. 28T Thick Kerf Framing Circular Saw Blade
Model Number: 48-40-1048
The Milwaukee 48-40-1048 is a 10-1/4 in. 28-tooth Thick Kerf Framing Circular Saw Blade, built for the straightest cuts and long life in wood on large 10-1/4 in. circular saws. The 28-tooth count is a framing and ripping configuration, aggressive and fast for cutting dimensional lumber and construction material rather than fine finish work. The defining feature is the high-performance thick kerf: the thick, stiff blade body resists deflection under load, which is what delivers the straightest rip cuts and ultimate stability when cutting heavy lumber, beams, and engineered wood. Cobalt-infused carbide teeth stay sharper longer than standard carbide, extending the working life of the blade on the abrasive, nail-free framing lumber it is made for. This blade is sized for 10-1/4 in. circular saws, the larger beam and timber saws used to cut thick stock and multiple boards in a single pass.
Two more features support fast, clean cutting on demanding material. The diamond venting pattern is a set of vents in the blade body that let it run cooler and eject chips more effectively, reducing the heat buildup and binding that slow a blade down on long rips and thick lumber. The 5/8 in. arbor hole includes a diamond knock-out, so the blade mounts on saws with a standard 5/8 in. round arbor and, once the diamond is knocked out, fits saws that use a diamond-shaped arbor. The blade handles a wide range of wood: softwoods, hardwoods, wet lumber, and treated lumber, along with laminated and engineered woods including plywood, OSB, LVL, PSL, LSL, and OSL, which makes it a versatile choice for framing crews working across all of these materials.
This blade is built for framing, beam cutting, and heavy construction, where stability and straight rip cuts matter more than absolute cutting speed. It is worth knowing the choice between kerfs: this thick kerf blade prioritizes stability and the straightest cuts, while Milwaukee also offers a thin kerf 10-1/4 in. 28T framing blade (48-40-1038) engineered for faster, more efficient cuts, which suits battery saws where cutting effort and runtime are priorities. Choose the thick kerf for maximum stability and straight rips, and the thin kerf for speed and cordless efficiency. For use with 10-1/4 in. circular saws.
