Benchmark Abrasives 8" TCT Circular Saw Blade, 48 Teeth

Great for cleanly cutting EMT mild steel conduit. I have cut a lot of 1" and 3/4" EMT with no signs of dulling the 8-1/4" 48T Ferrous Metal/SS/Mild-Steel blade. One reviewer posted that on the reviewer's table saw, the reviewer concluded the blade acted more like an abrasive wheel. My experience is exactly the opposite. Cutting mild steel thin wall electrical conduit ("EMT"), there is absolutely no question that this blade produced well-formed chips, cutting in an excellent fashion. I would definitely purchase this blade again. I strongly recommend the product. It is a great value.

I needed a spacer for an engine output shaft and had a length of old metal water pipe that was the perfect OD/ID. I put this blade on my compound power miter saw and was able to cleanly cut off the length needed. I made a test cut, and two more final cuts and the blade worked well. A nice option to have in my workshop.

Good value; with that said, who knows how long it will last. I usually use the red ones (and bought one alongside this one), so I can compare them, both in cutting and longevity. I'll keep you posted. So far, this item has cut about 6' (total) of 3/16" mild steel without any difficulty) Will be testing it thoroughly next week with about 35' of cuts...

I wore goggles, but if I were to do this again I would have worn ear protection. screaming loud. Also the metal chips were extremely fine, more so that I was expecting. they got everywhere, embedded them selves in the soles of shoes and in the most unlikely places. Splinter-fine. Next time I would have used a drape cloth and been more concerned with containment.

Installed on my makita cordless small circular saw for cutting conduit and pipe. Have been running it for a few months and it is holding up very well. Blade stays sharp and fits well. Cuts fast.

I was a Fab guy 40 years. great blade tech. Great durability.

First purchase, Great cuts and longevity for the price with my Milwaukee 8 inch metal saw. Second purchase, was not shipped as advertised, made me miss a deadline and you cannot rely on this company shipping on time. They stated FREE delivery April 22 - May 4 for Prime members and hit hasn't even shipped yet on the third. Now they are claiming I will have this by May 7th, more than a week longer than first communicated. I will NEVER buy from Benchmark ever again. They are not trustworthy to do business with.

i can't recommend these blades. i got maybe a few dozen cuts in 1.25 sch 40 pipe before it started shearing teeth off and fighting to get through the cut. as compared to the diablo blades that i usually buy i get typically hundreds of cuts before they start to show any signs of wear and then another few hundred before i have to push. not only that but they run much louder and show balance issues right out of the box whereas the diablo blades always run quiet and true. spend the extra 15 bucks on the freud blades.

They last for a LOT more cuts than Diablo, Makita or Irwin blades of the same type. Much cheaper too. I swear by these cutting steel pipe for work.
