Milwaukee 48-00-5221 6" AX Carbide-Tooth SAWZALL Blade for Wood with Nails

Milwaukee 48-00-5221 6" AX Carbide-Tooth SAWZALL Blade for Wood with Nails

The Milwaukee 48-00-5221 is a 6" AX Carbide-Tooth SAWZALL blade purpose-built for cutting through wood that contains embedded nails and fasteners — material that shreds standard demolition blades. This blade pairs a 5 TPI tooth geometry with Milwaukee's AX carbide teeth to stay sharp and cut fast through nail-embedded lumber, engineered lumber, and other demolition-grade wood that would quickly dull a standard bi-metal blade. Sized at 6" and sold as a single blade (1 PK), it's designed to fit standard SAWZALL reciprocating saws for aggressive, high-speed material removal on remodeling, renovation, and demolition job sites. Whether you're tearing out framing, removing subfloor, or cutting through nail-riddled studs, this AX carbide blade is built to keep working when ordinary blades give out.

Key Features

• Blade Length: 6" overall length sized for reciprocating saw applications requiring extended reach through thick or layered material.
• Tooth Count: 5 TPI (teeth per inch) geometry is engineered for fast, aggressive material removal in wood-cutting tasks.
• AX Carbide Teeth: Carbide-tipped AX teeth resist wear, chipping, and premature dulling when the blade contacts embedded nails and other fasteners hidden in wood.
• Carbide Durability: The carbide-tipped tooth design is engineered to outlast standard bi-metal SAWZALL blades when repeatedly striking nails, screws, and other embedded metal fasteners.
• Fast-Cutting Geometry: The 5 TPI tooth spacing is optimized to clear chips quickly, helping maintain cutting speed through thick, nail-filled wood sections.
• Application-Specific Design: Purpose-built for cutting Wood with Nails, making it well suited to demolition, remodeling, and renovation work where fastener strikes are common.
• Pack Quantity: Sold as a 1-pack (1 PK) SAWZALL blade, ready to load into a compatible Milwaukee or standard reciprocating saw.
