Product Description
Milwaukee 14 in. 72-Tooth Dry Cut Carbide Tipped Blade
Model Number: 48-40-4505
The Milwaukee 48-40-4505 is a 14 in. 72-Tooth Dry Cut Carbide Tipped Saw Blade for 14 in. dry cut metal saws — a carbide tipped circular saw blade engineered specifically for cold, dry cutting of mild steel, structural steel, conduit, threaded rod, and metal framing without the abrasive wheel sparks, grinding noise, and heat-discolored workpieces that traditional abrasive cut-off wheels produce. The 72-tooth carbide tipped design cuts metal through carbide tooth geometry rather than abrasive grinding — producing clean, burr-minimal cut ends that often require little or no finishing for immediate assembly use, cut edges cool enough to handle immediately after cutting, and cut pieces that maintain their zinc, paint, or galvanized coating at the cut end rather than burning through it as abrasive wheels do. The 72-tooth count provides the tooth density for smooth, controlled cuts through steel with low vibration and minimal kerf roughness in the structural metal sizes that 14 in. dry cut saws handle.
The dry cut format eliminates the water, coolant, and wet cutting logistics that wet blade cutting requires — the carbide tipped blade cuts steel cold without water cooling by virtue of the carbide tooth geometry's efficiency at metal removal without the heat generation of abrasive grinding. The blade works with Milwaukee and compatible 14 in. dry cut metal saws for production conduit, structural steel, and metal framing cutting in commercial construction, fabrication, and industrial installation work where cut quality, cut speed, and clean work environment are all important. Always secure workpieces firmly, use the blade guard, and wear appropriate PPE during all metal cutting operations.
