Milwaukee 48-00-5021 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What lengths does the Milwaukee AX SAWZALL wood-with-nails blade come in?
Three lengths: 6 inch (48-00-5021), 9 inch (48-00-5026), and 12 inch (48-00-5027). Pick 6 inch for tight work like cutting studs between joists or nail-embedded trim, 9 inch for general demo through framing lumber, and 12 inch when you need to get through a doubled-up header or a nailed built-up member in one pass.
2) Will the Milwaukee AX 5 TPI blade cut through nails in old framing, or do I need a separate metal blade?
It is built for exactly that. The AX blade uses Matrix II bi-metal teeth with a NAIL GUARD tooth pattern at 5 TPI, which is designed to cut nail-embedded wood without the teeth fracturing the way an ordinary wood tooth does when it hits a fastener. For demo of old studs, joists, and nailed sheathing, this is the blade. A straight wood-only blade would strip teeth on the first nail.
3) Is 5 TPI too coarse for demo work, and what should I use instead for clean cuts?
5 TPI is an aggressive tooth count meant for fast, rough cuts through wood and nails. It will leave a coarse edge, so it is a demolition and rough-cut blade, not a finish blade. If you need a cleaner cut or you are cutting thin-wall metal, step up to a higher TPI reciprocating blade. For tearing out nailed framing quickly, the coarse 5 TPI pattern is what gets the speed.
4) How thick is the Milwaukee AX SAWZALL blade body, and will it hold a straight cut?
The blade body is 0.062 inch thick, which is a heavy reciprocating blade section, and it is 1 inch tall. That combination is what keeps it from twisting or bending in a deep cut, so plunge cuts and long cuts through framing track straighter than a thinner, narrower blade.
5) Does the AX blade fit any reciprocating saw, or only Milwaukee SAWZALL tools?
It is a standard universal-shank reciprocating saw blade. Milwaukee makes it for the SAWZALL line, but the shank is the common reciprocating pattern used across cordless and corded recip saws, so it mounts in other brands' tools as well.
6) Why does the AX blade start a cut without skating on the surface?
The FANG TIP on the end of the blade bites into the wood on first contact instead of bouncing or skating. That matters when you are starting a cut freehand on a vertical stud or plunging into sheathing overhead, where a skating tip costs you time and control.
7) How many Milwaukee AX blades come in a pack?
The AX wood-with-nails blades are sold in 5-packs, which is the practical way to buy them for a demo crew since coarse nail-cutting blades get consumed on the job.
8) Are Milwaukee AX SAWZALL blades made in the USA?
Country of origin on the AX SAWZALL blades is the United States. That is the detail a government or institutional buyer with domestic-sourcing language in their purchase terms needs on file.
