Milwaukee 48-00-6252 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 SAWZALL blade cut EMT conduit and Unistrut-type strut channel?
That is exactly what it's built for. The Milwaukee 48-00-6252 is a TORCH series reciprocating blade with NITRUS Carbide teeth at 10 TPI, purpose-built for cutting metal conduit and strut channel on electrical and mechanical installs. The carbide teeth hold an edge longer than standard bi-metal in that kind of hardened metal stock, so you get more cuts per blade on a strut-heavy day.
2) Does the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 fit reciprocating saws other than a Milwaukee SAWZALL?
Yes. The 48-00-6252 uses the standard universal reciprocating saw shank, so it runs in Milwaukee SAWZALL saws and other compatible reciprocating saw tools, corded or cordless.
3) What is the closest carbide-tipped alternative to the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 SAWZALL blade?
The Lenox 2014220 Lazer CT is the carbide-tipped counterpart. Both use carbide teeth rather than bi-metal, but they are sized and aimed differently: the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 is a 9 inch blade with a 10 TPI tooth pattern built for conduit and strut, while the Lenox 2014220 is a 6 inch by 1 inch blade described for demolition and remodeling. If you are cutting strut channel and need the longer stroke reach of a 9 inch blade, the 48-00-6252 is the match; for shorter, mixed-material demolition cuts the Lazer CT is the one to look at.
4) Is there a bi-metal blade I can use instead of the carbide Milwaukee 48-00-6252 for cutting conduit?
Yes. The Lenox 20569S624R Metalwolf Wave Edge is a 6 inch bi-metal blade at 24 TPI, a fine tooth pitch suited to thin-wall metal. The Milwaukee 48-00-6252 uses NITRUS Carbide teeth at 10 TPI in a 9 inch length, so it takes a more aggressive bite and is built to hold its edge over repeated cuts. On thin-wall conduit the 24 TPI bi-metal keeps more teeth in the wall at once; on strut channel and heavier stock the 10 TPI carbide blade is the one intended for the job.
5) Is a 9 inch reciprocating blade too long for cutting conduit in a ceiling or tight wall cavity?
A 9 inch blade gives you reach past strut and through larger conduit runs, which is why the 48-00-6252 is sized that way, but length is the tradeoff: in a tight ceiling bay or between studs a shorter blade flexes less and is easier to control. If you're working confined, a 6 inch metal blade such as the Lenox 20569S624R Metalwolf Wave Edge 24 TPI is the easier blade to maneuver. For open runs of conduit and strut, the 9 inch is the better choice.
6) Is 10 TPI the right tooth count for thin-wall conduit, or will it catch?
10 TPI is the coarser end of metal cutting and it is what Milwaukee specs on the 48-00-6252 for conduit and strut, where it balances cut speed against edge quality. On very thin-wall tube, a finer tooth keeps more teeth in the material and reduces grabbing, so for sheet-thin stock a 24 TPI blade like the Lenox 20569S624R is the better fit. For EMT, rigid conduit, and strut channel, 10 TPI is correct.
7) What is the difference between a carbide SAWZALL blade and a bi-metal one for metal cutting?
Carbide-tipped teeth, like the NITRUS Carbide on the Milwaukee 48-00-6252, resist wear and stay sharp through far more cuts in hard metal than bi-metal teeth, which dull quickly on strut and rigid conduit. Bi-metal blades, such as the Lenox 20569S624R Metalwolf or the Lenox 20577850R Fire and Rescue blade, are more forgiving of flex and bending but are consumables you change out more often. If you're making repeated production cuts in conduit and strut, carbide is the one that pays for itself.
8) Can the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 be used for wood cutting, or is there a better blade for that?
The Milwaukee 48-00-6252 is purpose-built for conduit and strut with a 10 TPI NITRUS Carbide tooth pattern. For wood, the Lenox 20573S656R LUMBERWOLF is a 6 inch blade at 6 TPI, a coarser pitch intended for wood cutting. If your work mixes both, they are separate blades rather than one substituting for the other.
9) I need multiple blades in one package - is there an alternative to the single-pack Milwaukee 48-00-6252?
The Milwaukee 48-00-6252 is sold as a 1-pack for individual replacement or job-box stocking. If you want a multi-blade package, the Lenox 20577850R Fire and Rescue blade comes as a 5-pack of 8 inch bi-metal blades at 10/14 TPI. Note the difference in build: the Lenox is a bi-metal fire and rescue blade, while the 48-00-6252 carries NITRUS Carbide teeth sized at 9 inches for conduit and strut work.
10) What blade should I use for cutting unknown materials or nail-embedded stock instead of the Milwaukee 48-00-6252?
For mixed or unknown material, the Lenox 20577850R Fire and Rescue blade is an 8 inch bi-metal blade with a 10/14 TPI variable pitch, a pattern made for cutting through whatever is in front of it. The Milwaukee 48-00-6252 is a 9 inch 10 TPI NITRUS Carbide blade designed around conduit and strut channel, so it is the choice when the material is known metal stock and you want the carbide teeth to last through repeated cuts.
11) How many blades come in a pack of the Milwaukee 48-00-6252?
One. The 48-00-6252 ships as a single blade, suited to replacing a spent blade or topping up a job box. If you'd rather buy in a multi-pack for crew stocking, the Lenox 20577850R 8 inch bi-metal Fire and Rescue blade comes as a 5-pack, though that one is a 10/14 TPI bi-metal blade rather than carbide.
12) What is the Milwaukee part number I order for the 9 inch TORCH carbide conduit blade?
Order Milwaukee 48-00-6252. That is the 9 inch TORCH NITRUS Carbide SAWZALL blade at 10 TPI, offered in the one 9 inch size with no other length or tooth-count options under that number.
13) Does the Lenox Lazer CT fit the same saws as the Milwaukee 48-00-6252?
Both are reciprocating saw blades with a standard universal tang, so the Milwaukee 48-00-6252 and the Lenox 2014220 Lazer CT mount in SAWZALL and other reciprocating saws alike. The practical difference is length: the 48-00-6252 is a 9 inch blade and the Lazer CT is 6 inches, so check your stroke clearance and the depth of the cut you need before swapping one for the other.
