Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades

Milwaukee Tool says its Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades cut two times faster and last three times longer than standard blades in thick and thin metals. When it comes to band saw blades, the biggest user frustration is the frequency of changing out the blade. Milwaukee’s new blades solve this frustration through a combination of enhanced high-speed steel and a variable TPI tooth design, making two times faster cuts in thick metals and achieving three times longer life in stainless steel. These features also unlock the ability to cut through cast iron.

The Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades will be available in two variations: Thick Metal Blade and Thin Metal Blade which are both available in all portable Milwaukee band saw sizes. The Thick Metal Blade (8/10 TPI) is optimized to provide best-in-class performance when cutting through thick/extreme metals such as black pipe and angle iron but has the additional versatility to cut common thin metals. The Thin Metal Blade (12/14 TPI) is optimized for best-in-class cuts in thin/extreme metals such as unistrut or EMT conduit but also provides strong performance in tougher thick metals.  

The aggressive variable-pitched tooth design of these blades delivers the versatility to cut a wide range of materials with just one blade, providing long life in common and extreme materials such as strut, conduit, angle iron, threaded rod, and pipe, and even materials like stainless steel and cast iron. 

With the introduction of the new Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades, Milwaukee Tool continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering user-driven accessory solutions that save time and increase productivity on the jobsite.

Related Glossary Terms

  • bandsaw blade ( band)

    bandsaw blade ( band)

    Endless band, normally with serrated teeth, that serves as the cutting tool for cutoff or contour band machines.

  • sawing machine ( saw)

    sawing machine ( saw)

    Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
