Benchmark Abrasives TCT 7 1/4 Inch Circular Saw Blade, Tungsten Carbide Tipped Metal Cutting Saw Blades for Cutting Metal, Stainless Steel, Ferrous Metals, Miter Saw Blade (7-1/4" 52 Teeth)

Great cuts and longevity for the price with my Milwaukee 8 inch metal saw.

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.

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.

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.

Over the last 5 years, I've went through (50-75) 8-inch metal cutting blades. I've bought the cheapest and the most expensive and all points in between. Some are definitely worse than others, but none seem to be "the one" that puts all others to shame. So, when I can by a blade that costs under $25 and works as well as a Diablo, Lennox, etc. that cost twice as much, I'm happy. The first BA blade I put on has cut close to 30 feet of rusty 1/4 inch plate and is still quiet and true and will continue to be used. This is pretty impressive. I've had more expensive blades deteriorate sooner than that. Basically, thumbs up!

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.

Gets the job done. Got through a 3/4" diameter cold steel bar (not hollow pipe). Blade dulled, but teeth all survived.

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.
