The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 7" x 48-Tooth Saw Blade for Medium Metal brings a new level of performance to metal cutting jobsites, engineered specifically for use with cordless and corded circular saws to cut through steel studs, angle iron, EMT conduit, flat bar, channel, steel tube, stainless steel, and more. Powered by exclusively formulated Cermet II teeth - a ceramic and metallic compound - this blade delivers up to 25X longer life, 50X cooler cuts, and 10X faster cutting speeds compared to standard grinding discs, making it the go-to circular saw blade for professional metal cutting across a wide range of medium metal applications.

Key Features

• Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) Teeth - provide high heat tolerance and increased hardness for superior wear resistance, fewer blade changes, and up to 25X longer life versus standard grinding discs, dramatically reducing downtime and replacement costs on the jobsite
• Up to 50X Cooler Cuts - a circular saw blade running at controlled cutting temperatures versus a grinding disc that raises steel temperature by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit, preventing permanent discoloration of workpieces and protecting the integrity of your material
• Up to 10X Faster Cuts - resulting in up to 60 seconds faster cuts in both metals and stainless steels versus standard grinding discs, maximizing productivity and efficiency on every cut
• Triple Chip Cutting Action - reduces sparks and lowers the possibility of needing "hot" permits, making this blade safer and more practical in sensitive work environments
• Optimized Blade Design - reduces wandering and deflection of metal, creating precise cuts that require virtually no re-work, saving labor time and material waste
• Advanced Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and vibration for maximum stability, keeping the blade cool for straight, accurate cuts throughout demanding cutting sessions
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal brazing system that allows Cermet II teeth to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability, extending usable blade life even under heavy-load cutting
• Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design (0.075" Kerf) - provides less resistance and heat build-up for ease of cut, accuracy, and long cutting life in both cordless and corded circular saws, reducing strain on the tool's motor
• Perma-SHIELD Coating - resists heat build-up by protecting the blade against gumming and corrosion, ensuring consistent performance cut after cut across all compatible metal materials
• Laser Cut Arbor (20mm) - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate blade rotation during use, contributing to cleaner cuts and extended blade life
• Controlled Cutting Action - produces larger chip sizes that generate less dust and airborne contaminates, contributing to a cleaner, healthier working environment
• One-Blade Solution for Metals and Stainless Steels - eliminates the need for individually dedicated saw blades, offering unmatched versatility and value for contractors cutting multiple metal types on a single jobsite

Why This Product

• For trades professionals cutting steel studs, EMT conduit, angle iron, and stainless steel on the same job, this single 7" blade handles all of those medium metal materials without swapping blades - a real time-saver backed by the Cermet II formulation that holds up through extended cutting sessions
• The Triple Chip Grind and cooler cut performance significantly reduce sparks compared to grinding discs, which can be critical when working in environments where hot permits are required or where sparks pose a hazard to surrounding materials and personnel
• With a maximum of 4000 RPM and a thin 0.075" kerf, this blade is fully compatible with both corded and cordless circular saws, making it an efficient choice for contractors who rely on battery-powered tools on site without sacrificing cut speed or precision
• Precise, burr-free cuts with virtually no re-work needed means reduced finishing time after cutting - whether working through wall studs and tubing with wall thicknesses from 1/16" to 1/4", plates and bars from 1/8" to 1/2" thick, or rods from 1/4" to 1 1/2" in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This blade is designed to cut through a wide range of medium metals including sheet metal, angle iron, flat bar, channel, EMT conduit, steel tube, steel studs, and stainless steel. It handles studs and tubing with wall thicknesses from 1/16" to 1/4", plates and bars from 1/8" to 1/2" thick, and rods from 1/4" to 1 1/2" in diameter - all with the same blade.

Is this blade compatible with cordless circular saws?

Yes. The Diablo D0748CFM is designed for use with both corded and cordless circular saws. Its laser cut thin kerf design reduces resistance and heat build-up, which also reduces the draw on cordless tool batteries - making it a practical and efficient choice for battery-powered saws on the jobsite.

How does the Cermet II blade compare to a standard grinding disc for cutting metal?

Compared to standard grinding discs, the Cermet II blade delivers up to 25X longer life, up to 50X cooler cuts - avoiding the heat build-up that grinding discs generate that can raise steel temperature by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit - and up to 10X faster cuts, with individual cuts being up to 60 seconds faster. The blade also produces larger chips with less dust and fewer sparks.

What is the maximum RPM for this saw blade?

The Diablo Steel Demon D0748CFM has a maximum operating speed of 4000 RPM. Always verify that your circular saw's rated RPM does not exceed this value before use to ensure safe operation.
