The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 14-inch x 72-Tooth Saw Blade for Medium Metal brings a significant leap forward in circular saw metal cutting technology. Engineered with specially formulated Cermet II teeth - a ceramic and metallic compound - this blade delivers high heat tolerance and increased hardness for cutting steel tube, steel studs, angle iron, flat bar, EMT conduit, threaded rod, stainless steel, and more with a corded or cordless low-RPM metal saw. Whether you are on the jobsite cutting black iron pipe or fabricating with unistrut and channel, this blade produces precise, burr-free results with dramatically less spark output than conventional grinding methods.

Key Features

• Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) teeth - deliver high heat tolerance and increased hardness for superior wear, fewer blade changes, and up to 25X longer life versus standard grinding discs, reducing downtime and replacement costs on heavy metal cutting jobs
• Up to 50X cooler cuts - compared to a grinding disc that increases steel temperature by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit, preventing permanent discoloration of steel and protecting material integrity
• 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 the jobsite
• Triple Chip Grind cutting action - reduces sparks and the possibility of needing "hot" permits, making this blade safer and more practical in restricted work environments
• Optimized blade design - reduces wandering and deflection of metal, creating precise cuts that require virtually no re-work, saving time and material
• Advanced Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and vibration for maximum stability, keeping the blade cool for straight, accurate cuts throughout extended use
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal brazing system that allows Cermet II teeth to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability, even in demanding cutting applications
• Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design at.083 inch kerf - provides less resistance and heat build-up for ease of cut, accuracy, and long cutting life in cordless or corded saws
• Perma-SHIELD coating - resists heat build-up by protecting the blade against gumming and corrosion, extending usable blade life across varied metal types
• Laser Cut Arbor - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate blade rotation when in use, resulting in cleaner, more consistent cuts
• Controlled cutting action produces larger chip sizes - generates less dust and airborne contaminants, improving air quality and reducing cleanup time at the worksite
• One-blade solution for metals and stainless steels - eliminates the need for individually dedicated saw blades, offering unmatched value and versatility for mixed-material metal cutting projects

Why This Product

• Dramatically outperforms grinding discs in speed, heat, and longevity - with up to 25X longer life, 50X cooler cuts, and 10X faster cutting speeds, this blade reduces the total cost and time associated with cutting steel studs, angle iron, EMT conduit, and stainless steel on active jobsites
• Handles a wide range of medium metal materials with a single blade - from steel tubing with wall thickness between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch, to plates and bars up to 1 inch thick, to rods up to 2 inches in diameter, this blade covers the full spectrum of common structural and mechanical metal cutting tasks
• Reduces spark output and hot-work permit requirements - the Triple Chip Grind design minimizes sparks during cutting, making this blade a practical choice for indoor jobsites, occupied buildings, or locations where open-flame or spark restrictions apply
• Compatible with corded and cordless low-RPM metal saws - the laser cut thin kerf design and 0 deg. hook angle are optimized for low-RPM metal saw use up to 1800 RPM, giving professionals flexibility in tool selection without sacrificing cutting performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed to cut steel tube, steel studs, angle iron, flat bar, channel, EMT conduit, threaded rod, and stainless steel. It handles studs and tubing with wall thickness from 1/8 inch (11 gauge) to 1/2 inch, plates and bars from 1/4 inch to 1 inch thick, and rods from 1/2 inch to 2 inches in diameter.

What type of saw is this blade designed for?

This 14-inch blade is designed for use with a low-RPM metal saw and has a maximum rated speed of 1800 RPM. It is compatible with both corded and cordless circular saws designed for metal cutting.

How does Cermet II tooth material improve performance over standard grinding discs?

Cermet II teeth combine ceramic and metallic compounds to achieve high heat tolerance and increased hardness. This results in up to 25X longer blade life, up to 50X cooler cuts - preventing steel discoloration - and up to 10X faster cutting speeds, with cuts up to 60 seconds faster compared to standard grinding discs.

Does this blade require separate blades for stainless steel versus standard steel?

No. The Steel Demon Cermet II blade is engineered to cut through both standard metals and stainless steels, eliminating the need for individually dedicated saw blades and offering a single-blade solution for mixed-material metal cutting applications.
