12" Standard Carbide Saw Blades, Torch For Cast Iron With Nitrus Carbide, 7TPI, 1Pack

Milwaukee 48-00-5263 TORCH™ with NITRUS CARBIDE™ SAWZALL® Blade – 12" for Cast Iron and Thick Metals

The Milwaukee 48-00-5263 SAWZALL® blade is engineered for high-demand metal cutting applications, including cast iron, stainless steel, black pipe, rebar, and angle iron. This blade utilizes Milwaukee's NITRUS CARBIDE™ technology—a high-density carbide formulation designed for extended durability and performance in abrasive materials.

Performance Overview

With an aggressive 8 TPI tooth configuration and a 12" length, the TORCH™ NITRUS CARBIDE™ blade delivers rapid cutting speed and extended blade life in demolition and pipe-fitting environments. The carbide teeth are fusion-bonded to withstand extreme heat and resist fracturing, while the design allows for consistent engagement with dense metals under load.

Key Features

• Optimized for Cast Iron and Alloyed Metals – Ideal for thick-walled pipe and structural steel removal.
• NITRUS CARBIDE™ Cutting Edge – Extended service life compared to standard carbide blades; rated for up to 5x longer use.
• Heat-Resistant Tooth Geometry – Promotes efficient chip removal and minimizes thermal breakdown during prolonged cutting.
• High Tooth Count – 8 TPI configuration balances cut speed and material finish on ferrous metals.
• Durable Body Construction – Built for stability and vibration resistance during aggressive cuts.

Usage Considerations

This blade is designed for use with reciprocating saws in heavy-duty mechanical, plumbing, demolition, and construction settings. Operators should ensure proper tool alignment, clamp materials securely when possible, and allow the blade to work through the material at consistent feed pressure to avoid premature wear or binding.
