Product Description
Milwaukee 6-7/8 in. Metal Cutting Blade 36T
Model Number: 48-40-4016
The Milwaukee 48-40-4016 is a 6-7/8 in. 36-Tooth Metal Cutting Saw Blade — a circular saw blade for cutting steel, aluminum, copper, and non-ferrous metal with a circular saw in construction, fabrication, and installation work where the controlled cutting of a circular saw provides production advantages over abrasive cut-off wheels. The 36-tooth configuration provides the tooth count and geometry for productive metal cutting in circular saw applications — more teeth than typical wood-cutting blades maintain simultaneous multi-tooth engagement with metal during each cutting stroke for smoother, more controlled metal cutting that produces less burring and workpiece movement than fewer-tooth configurations in the same material. The 6-7/8 in. diameter is sized for use with circular saws equipped for metal cutting, including Milwaukee circular saws and compatible metal cutting circular saw platforms.
Milwaukee's Endurance blade specification for this metal cutting blade indicates a construction focused on extended service life in metal cutting applications — where the repeated tooth engagement with steel and aluminum demands blade steel, tooth geometry, and heat treatment specifically engineered for metal rather than wood. The circular saw's controlled, guided cutting stroke provides straighter, more accurate cuts than an angle grinder cut-off wheel's freehand approach, making circular saw metal cutting the preferred method for production conduit, stud track, angle iron, and structural angle cutting where cut accuracy and production pace both matter. Always use blade guards, follow the saw manufacturer's metal cutting guidelines, secure workpieces firmly before cutting, and wear appropriate PPE during metal cutting operations.
