8" 48-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR STEEL & FERROUS METAL

The Benchmark Abrasives 8" 48-tooth TCT saw blade is designed for clean, controlled cutting of steel and other ferrous metals. Its 48-tooth configuration and TCG (Triple chip grind) tooth geometry provide a strong balance of cutting speed and edge quality, making it a versatile choice for fabrication, installation and general metalworking.

Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth help deliver clean, burr-reduced cuts with fewer sparks and less heat than traditional abrasive cutting methods. The 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout provides fitment flexibility for compatible 8" worm-drive saws, while the 0.091" kerf provides a stable cutting path through tubing, angle iron, plate, rebar and flat stock.

Product Specifications

Product Features

• 48-tooth configuration provides a balance of cutting efficiency and clean edge quality.
• TCG tooth geometry helps distribute the cutting load across alternating tooth profiles for durable metal-cutting performance.
• Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a long-lasting cutting edge for repeated steel cutting.
• 0.091" kerf provides a stable cutting path through common ferrous-metal shapes.
• 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout provides fitment flexibility for compatible saws.
• Reduced sparks and heat compared with abrasive cutting methods help provide a cleaner cutting experience.
• 5,800 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

• Mild steel
• Steel
• Wrought iron
• Square tubing
• Round pipe and tubing
• Angle iron
• Rebar
• Flat stock
• Steel plate up to 1/8"

The 48-tooth configuration is well suited for fabrication, maintenance and general-purpose steel cutting where both cutting efficiency and a clean finished edge are important.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 8" worm-drive saws that accept the blade diameter, arbor configuration and operating speed.

Common compatible saws include:

• Milwaukee® 6370-20
• SKILSAW® OUTLAW SPT78MMC-0
• Other compatible 8" worm-drive saws

Always verify your saw's blade diameter, arbor size and operating RPM before installation. The saw must use an 8-inch blade with a 5/8-inch arbor and not exceed the blade's 5,800 RPM maximum rating. Confirm compatibility with the exact saw model, including arbor and flange engagement, guard clearance, blade rotation and permitted material.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

With 48 teeth on an 8" blade, this blade sits in the balanced range between aggressive production cutting and fine-finish cutting, making it a strong general-purpose choice for steel.

Tips for Better Blade Performance

• Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
• Use a steady, controlled feed rate and allow the carbide teeth to perform the cut.
• Avoid forcing the blade through the material.
• Keep chips and debris clear of the cutting path.
• Inspect the blade before use for damaged, missing or excessively worn teeth.
• Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines.
• Saw blade lubricant can help reduce buildup and extend blade life during demanding applications.
• Never exceed the blade's 5,800 RPM maximum operating speed.

Safety

• Use only on saws designed to accept this blade diameter and arbor configuration.
• Never install the blade on a machine that exceeds the blade's maximum RPM.
• Keep all factory guards installed and properly functioning.
• Inspect the blade before every use. Do not use a cracked, warped or damaged blade.
• Secure the workpiece before cutting and maintain control throughout the cut.
• Do not use this blade on stainless steel or hardened materials.

• Wear appropriate eye, hearing, respiratory, and hand protection for the application.
