Milwaukee 48-00-5201 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lengths does the Milwaukee TORCH carbide SAWZALL blade come in, and which part number is which?
Two lengths. The 6 inch blade is Milwaukee 48-00-5201 and the 9 inch is 48-00-5202. Both are the TORCH carbide-tooth reciprocating blade at 8 TPI, sold one blade per pack. Pick the 9 inch when you need to get through thicker stock or reach into a wall cavity; the 6 inch is easier to control in tight demo work.
2) Will the Milwaukee TORCH carbide blade cut nail-embedded wood without stripping teeth?
That is what it is built for. The TORCH carbide-tooth SAWZALL blade is made for nail-embedded wood, metal and mixed-material demolition debris, and the carbide teeth hold an edge longer than a standard bi-metal blade in those hits. At 8 TPI it cuts aggressively rather than finely, so expect a rough kerf.
3) Should I use an 8 TPI carbide blade or a fine-tooth bi-metal blade for cutting metal?
For sheet metal, conduit, and thin-wall tube you want a high tooth count so at least three teeth stay in the material. The TORCH carbide at 8 TPI is coarse, meant for demolition and mixed material, not clean metal cuts. For dedicated metal work step to something like the Lenox 20569S624R Metalwolf Wave Edge 6 inch 24 TPI bi-metal blade. Use the TORCH when the cut contains wood plus embedded fasteners.
4) I need a longer reach than 6 inches for cutting through a wall - what are my options?
The TORCH carbide blade is offered in a 9 inch length as Milwaukee 48-00-5202, which keeps the same 8 TPI carbide-tooth demolition configuration with more reach. Among the comparables the longest is the Lenox 20577850R at 8 inches, a bi-metal 10/14 TPI Fire and Rescue blade; the carbide-tipped Lenox 2014220 Lazer CT is a 6 inch blade. If depth of cut is the deciding factor, the 9 inch TORCH is the longest carbide option.
5) Does a Milwaukee TORCH SAWZALL blade fit saws other than a Milwaukee?
Yes. SAWZALL is Milwaukee's name for a reciprocating saw, but the blade uses the standard universal 1/2 inch tang that every common corded or cordless recip saw accepts, so it runs in DeWalt, Makita, Bosch and Ridgid saws as well.
6) I am just cutting framing lumber on a remodel. Do I need the carbide TORCH blade?
Not necessarily. Carbide earns its keep when the cut has nails, screws or metal in it. For clean wood framing a wood-cutting bi-metal blade such as the Lenox 20573S656R LUMBERWOLF 6 inch 6 TPI cuts faster and costs less to consume. Keep the TORCH carbide for the walls where you expect hidden fasteners.
7) What is the difference between a carbide-tooth demolition blade and a bi-metal one when both are 6 inches?
Length is the same but the cutting edge is not. The Milwaukee 48-00-5201 TORCH uses carbide teeth that resist wear and hold a sharp edge longer than standard bi-metal blades, which is why it is rated for nail-embedded wood and mixed-material debris. Among 6 inch bi-metal blades, the Lenox 20573S656R LUMBERWOLF at 6 TPI is set up for wood and the Lenox 20569S624R Metalwolf Wave Edge at 24 TPI for metal - each tuned to one material, where the carbide TORCH is built to take the mixed cut.
8) Is the Milwaukee TORCH blade the right choice for a fire and rescue or emergency entry kit?
No - the Milwaukee 48-00-5201 TORCH is a demolition and remodeling blade in 6 inch and 9 inch lengths. For rescue work the purpose-built option is the Lenox 20577850R Fire and Rescue blade, an 8 inch bi-metal blade with a 10/14 TPI variable pitch sold in a 5-pack. The variable 10/14 pitch is aimed at the mixed materials encountered in forcible entry, whereas the TORCH is a single 8 TPI carbide-tooth configuration for job-site demolition.
9) Is the Milwaukee TORCH carbide reciprocating blade made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and institutional work where domestic-sourcing preferences apply to purchased consumables.
