- Metal cutting
- Steel studs
- Emt conduit
- Angle iron
The go-to when you cut ferrous metal (steel studs, conduit, angle) with a circular saw and want clean, low-spark cuts instead of an abrasive wheel.
Pros
- TCG carbide cuts steel studs, EMT, angle iron, and bar with far less spark than an abrasive disc
- Leaves a burr-free, cool cut you can handle almost immediately, unlike a cut-off wheel
- Lasts many times longer than abrasive discs and doesn't shrink in diameter as it wears
Cons
- Ferrous-only; it is not for stainless, aluminum, or non-metals
- Thicker 0.087 in kerf and metal cutting demand a slow, steady feed or teeth chip
- Costs several times a wood blade and is wasted if used on lumber
