Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II Saw Blade - 6-1/2" Diameter, 48 TCG Teeth | 5/8" Arbor, .061" Kerf, 5800 Max RPM - For Metals and Stainless Steel - Triple Chip Grind, Perma-SHIELD Coating - D0648CFX

Warning - check the arbor size on your saw. This blade has a 1inch arbor. Most 10in miter saws are 5/8in arbor. No biggy - just order a "saw blade bushing kit" - about $7 - when you order these blades. Worth it. There is a huge difference in materials used to make ferrous metal cuttings blades. Diablo makes their blades with Cermet - a fundamentally harder material than tungsten carbide or HSS tool steel (most other blades). For a detailed explanation see my video. I have worked in material science including synthetic diamond synthesis - this blade uses a unique material, better and harder than tungsten carbide. As a result I highly recommend it for ferrous metals with 2 key caveats. First - it MUST be used in a 3000RPM saw - not a regular miter saw (5000-6000rpm). Over-heating can kill this blade. Too high of RPM and it can quickly ruined. Two - don't push the cuts. Let the blade cut at its natural speed. If you think it is getting hot back off. Do these two things and you can get 100s of cuts from these Cermet blades even in thick steel.

I have an Evolution metal cutting saw that I purchased recently. In the past I have always used a grinder or chop saw with an abrasive blade to cut metal but I was introduced to cold saws about 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with them. They cut quickly, don't make sparks, dust and a mess like abrasive blades do and you can handle the steel immediately without worrying about burning your hand. The biggest drawbacks to these cold cut saws are the blades as they are much more expensive than an abrasive blade and if not used correctly can dull rather quickly. The blade that came with my saw was a multi-material blade which worked fairly well but became dull rather quickly after I cut some stainless steel. I was going to replace it with another Evolution blade that was specifically designed for ferrous metals but in looking around on YouTube found a guy on who had tested many blades and this Diablo came out as one of the best for overall performance. I've used Diablo blades in the past for wood working and was always happy with their performance so I decided to try this one. I've only made about a half dozen cuts so far (on 14 gauge square tubing) but the blade cut quickly, accurately and generated very little heat so so far so good. The biggest question, however, is the one I can't answer yet which is longevity. Will this blade be junk 10 cuts from now or is it going to last for a while? I'll have to reserve commenting on this till I use it more and then update my review but at this time I'm quite pleased.

Blade performed like expected! Key to long blade life for my usage is to hold down the steel your cutting with clamps.

I had bad luck with other brands of metal cutting saw blades but this one is amazing. I have cut about 60 feet of ten gauge steel with one blade and it still is going strong. Wear a rubber apron, long sleeves and gloves, face shield and go slow. The blade sends metal shards out in all directions. I have metal chips on the top shelf that is ten feet high and 15 feet from the cutting area! Bare skin can be cut with the clips coming off the blade so dress for safety!

Metal-cutting blade for a Skil saw—gets the job done. This blade’s pretty solid. Like most metal blades, it throws sparks when cutting, so keep that in mind. It’s best for straight-line cuts—don’t expect it to handle curves or finesse work. I slapped it into a Skil saw to cut up an old metal roof into 11-foot sections so I could haul it off. It held up well and got the job done. One thing to watch out for: blade thickness. Most Skil saws only take thinner blades, so if it’s too thick, it won’t seat properly. This type of blade is pretty much the only kind that’ll fit a Skil saw for metal work, so when you’re shopping, pay close attention to the width. Too thick and you’re out of luck.

Cut 1/4” plate with no problem. Time will tell for the longevity.

Works better and lasts longer than Milwaukee brand ones and a lot cheaper

Best blade around. Stays sharp and the teeth dont fall off like cheap blades. I cut a lot of stainless and tubing, no issues after thousands of cuts.

El producto se ve de muy buena calidad, teníamos muchas ganas de probarlo ya que no lo recomendaron muchoz tristemente no funcionaba para mi cortadora y tuve que regresarlo, el vendedor debería escribir sobre la foto la advertencia de máximo de rpm =(

Muy buen producto corte fino

Great. Go slow and it'll last

Worked well for square tubing

Great. Good price.
