Benchmark Abrasives 6-1/2" 48 Tooth TCT Saw Blade for Thin Steel & Ferrous Metals

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.

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.

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.
