The Diablo Steel Demon 7-1/4" x 36-Tooth Cermet II Saw Blade for Thick Metal brings a revolutionary approach to metal cutting on the jobsite, allowing professionals to slice through steel studs, angle iron, flat bar, channel, EMT conduit, plate stock, and all-thread rod using a standard cordless or corded circular saw. Built around exclusively formulated Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) tooth technology, this circular saw blade for thick metal delivers up to 25X longer life, 50X cooler cuts, and 10X faster cuts compared to standard grinding discs - making it a true one-blade solution for both metals and stainless steels without the need for individually dedicated blades.

Key Features

• Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) teeth - provide high heat tolerance and increased hardness for superior wear, resulting in fewer blade changes, extended service life, and up to 25X longer life versus standard grinding discs
• Up to 50X cooler cuts - circular saw blade cutting keeps steel temperatures far lower than grinding discs, which can raise steel temperature enough to cause permanent discoloration, preserving material integrity and finish quality
• Up to 10X faster cuts - dramatically improves productivity, delivering cuts in metals and stainless steels up to 60 seconds faster than standard grinding discs, reducing overall project time
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) cutting action - reduces sparks during metal cutting and lowers the likelihood of needing "hot" work permits on regulated jobsites
• Optimized blade design reduces wandering and deflection - produces precise, burr-free cuts in thick metal that require virtually no re-work, saving time and labor
• Advanced Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and vibration for maximum stability, keeping the blade cool during extended use for straight, accurate cuts
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal brazing system allows Cermet II teeth to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability in demanding metal cutting applications
• Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design at 0.075" - provides less resistance and reduced heat build-up for easier cutting, greater accuracy, and long cutting life in both cordless and corded circular saws
• Perma-SHIELD coating - resists heat build-up by protecting the blade against gumming and corrosion, extending usable blade life between changes
• Laser Cut Arbor (5/8") - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate blade rotation, improving cut quality and consistency over time
• Controlled cutting action produces larger chip sizes - generates less dust and airborne contaminates, contributing to a cleaner, safer work environment
• Compatible with cordless and corded circular saws - rated to 5800 RPM maximum, giving professionals flexibility to use existing tools without dedicated metal-cutting equipment

Why This Product

• Replaces grinding discs with a safer, faster alternative - at up to 10X faster cuts and 50X cooler operating temperatures, this blade eliminates the excessive heat, heavy sparks, and slow material removal that make angle grinder discs inefficient for thick metal cutting tasks.
• One blade handles both metal and stainless steel - the Cermet II formulation is designed to cut through standard metals and stainless steels alike, removing the cost and confusion of maintaining multiple dedicated blades for different materials on the same job.
• Engineered to reduce jobsite permitting friction - the Triple Chip Grind cutting action minimizes spark generation, which can reduce the need to obtain "hot" work permits in environments where open sparks require special authorization.
• Designed for the materials professionals actually cut - the blade's application range is specifically matched to common structural cutting tasks including steel studs (1/8"-3/8" wall thickness), angle iron (1/8"-3/8"), flat bar (1/4"-1/2"), channel (1/8"-3/8"), EMT conduit (1/8"-3/8"), plate and bar stock (1/4" maximum wall thickness), and all-thread (1/4"-1 1/2" diameter).

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of metal can this Diablo Steel Demon blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut both standard metals and stainless steels. Specific supported applications include steel studs (1/8"-3/8" wall thickness), angle iron (1/8"-3/8" wall thickness), flat bar (1/4"-1/2" wall thickness), channel (1/8"-3/8" wall thickness), EMT conduit (1/8"-3/8" wall thickness), plate and bar stock (1/4" maximum wall thickness), and all-thread ranging from 1/4" to 1 1/2" diameter.

Can this blade be used with a cordless circular saw?

Yes. The blade is compatible with both cordless and corded circular saws. The Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design reduces resistance and heat build-up, which makes it well-suited for the lower power output typical of cordless tools. The maximum rated speed is 5800 RPM.

How does this blade compare to a standard grinding disc for cutting thick metal?

According to Diablo, the Cermet II teeth deliver up to 25X longer life, 50X cooler cuts, and cuts up to 60 seconds faster per cut versus standard grinding discs. Grinding discs can raise steel temperature enough to permanently discolor the material, while this blade's circular saw cutting action keeps temperatures significantly lower and produces larger chip sizes with less dust and fewer airborne contaminates.

What does the Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth configuration do for metal cutting?

The Triple Chip Grind tooth configuration reduces spark generation during cutting. This is practically significant on regulated or enclosed jobsites where excessive sparks may require the operator to obtain special "hot" work permits. The grind pattern also contributes to the precise, burr-free cuts this blade produces in thick metal applications.
