Milwaukee 48-00-1430 – 9" Carbide Grit SAWZALL® Blade (3-Pack) for Masonry and Abrasive Materials
The Milwaukee 48-00-1430 SAWZALL® blade is a 9-inch tungsten carbide grit reciprocating saw blade designed for cutting through non-metallic abrasive materials such as ceramic tile, brick, plaster, masonry, and fiberglass. This blade features a coarse carbide grit bonded along the cutting edge, allowing it to grind through dense substrates where toothed blades fail.
With a universal 1/2" shank, it is compatible with most standard reciprocating saws and optimized for straight cuts in brittle and abrasive materials. The 0.039" blade thickness provides rigidity to reduce deflection and support consistent contact with hard surfaces.
Key Features
Tungsten Carbide Grit: Engineered for long life in abrasive materials where conventional blades wear rapidly.
Coarse Grit Edge: Suitable for fast grinding action in tile, cast materials, and masonry substrates.
1/2" Universal Shank: Fits most reciprocating saws without adapter requirements.
Contractor Pack: Supplied as a 3-pack for extended cutting operations or multiple tool setups.
