Milwaukee 48-00-5227 12" AX SAWZALL Blade with Carbide Teeth for Wood with Nails

Milwaukee 12" AX SAWZALL Blade with Carbide Teeth for Wood with Nails

The Milwaukee 12" AX SAWZALL Blade is a reciprocating saw blade purpose-built for cutting wood with nails, pairing a 5 TPI tooth configuration with carbide teeth for aggressive, long-lasting performance. As part of Milwaukee's AX blade series, this 12" blade is designed to stand up to demolition-grade material that quickly dulls or breaks standard bi-metal blades. Whether you're tearing out framing, cutting through nail-embedded studs, or handling other tough remodeling debris, this blade is engineered to keep cutting cleanly and efficiently. By combining carbide durability with an aggressive 5 TPI tooth pattern, this blade helps reduce blade changes and downtime on demanding demolition jobs. Sold as a single 12" blade (1 PK), it's an easy addition to any SAWZALL blade lineup for contractors who regularly encounter nail-embedded wood.

Key Features

• Blade Length: Measuring 12", this blade provides the reach needed to cut through thick studs, joists, and other framing lumber in a single pass.
• Carbide Teeth: Carbide-tipped teeth resist wear and maintain a sharp cutting edge far longer than standard bi-metal blades, even when repeatedly striking embedded fasteners.
• 5 TPI Tooth Geometry: The 5 TPI (teeth per inch) configuration is tuned for fast, aggressive material removal, making quick work of wood cutting tasks.
• AX Series Engineering: Built as part of Milwaukee's AX line of demolition blades, this blade is designed from the ground up for heavy-duty destructive cutting rather than fine finish work.
• Nail-Embedded Wood Rated: Unlike general-purpose wood blades, this AX blade is specifically engineered to cut through wood containing nails without prematurely dulling or snapping.
• Demolition-Grade Durability: The combination of carbide teeth and an aggressive tooth pattern is engineered to hold up under the repeated impact of cutting through fastener-filled wood.
• Single Blade Pack: Packaged as a 1-pack SAWZALL blade, making it simple to restock or replace worn blades on the jobsite.
