The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 10-inch x 50-Tooth Saw Blade for Medium Metal brings advanced ceramic and metallic tooth technology to demanding metal cutting applications, giving trades professionals a circular saw blade that cuts through steel, stainless steel, angle iron, EMT conduit, flat bar, steel tubing, and more with speed, precision, and dramatically less heat than conventional grinding discs. Engineered in Italy and designed for use in low RPM metal saws running both corded and cordless configurations, this 50-tooth blade delivers up to 25X longer blade life, up to 50X cooler cuts, and up to 10X faster cuts compared to standard grinding discs - making it a productivity-focused solution for fabricators, ironworkers, and general contractors who cut medium metal every day.

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 on the job
• Up to 50X cooler cuts - compared to grinding discs that raise steel temperature by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit enough to permanently discolor the metal, this blade keeps steel cool and preserves workpiece integrity
• Up to 10X faster cuts - circular saw cutting action delivers results up to 60 seconds faster per cut in both metals and stainless steels versus standard grinding discs, maximizing productivity on high-volume cutting tasks
• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) cutting action - reduces sparks during metal cutting and lowers the possibility of needing hot work permits, improving jobsite safety and compliance
• Optimized blade design - reduces wandering and deflection of metal for 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 during prolonged cuts for straight, accurate results
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal brazing system allows Cermet II teeth to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability in heavy steel cutting environments
• Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design at.083-inch - provides less resistance and reduced heat build-up for easier cutting, greater accuracy, and extended blade life in both corded and cordless saws
• Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating - resists heat build-up and protects the blade body against gumming and corrosion, extending service life when cutting steel and stainless steel regularly
• Laser Cut Arbor - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate, stable blade rotation throughout the blade's working life
• Controlled cutting action - produces larger chip sizes that generate less dust and airborne contaminants, creating a cleaner and safer cutting environment
• One-blade solution for metals and stainless steels - eliminates the need for individually dedicated blades for different metal types, reducing tooling costs and simplifying blade inventory on the jobsite

Why This Product

• Cutting medium metal with a grinding disc is slow, hot, and spark-heavy - this blade cuts up to 10X faster and up to 50X cooler, meaning less heat distortion, no permanent steel discoloration, and more cuts completed per shift
• The Cermet II tooth formulation is rated for up to 25X longer blade life than standard grinding discs, which translates directly to fewer blade swaps, lower consumable costs, and less interruption when cutting studs, channels, angle iron, pipes, threaded rod, and EMT conduit
• With a 0 deg. hook angle, 50 TCG teeth, and a maximum speed of 3000 RPM, this blade is purpose-built for low RPM metal saws and delivers burr-free, precise cuts in materials from 11 gauge sheet through 1-inch plate and up to 2-inch diameter rod - covering a wide range of medium metal cutting tasks with a single blade
• The Triple Chip Grind design actively reduces sparks during steel and stainless steel cutting, which can lower the threshold for requiring hot work permits on regulated jobsites - an important practical and safety advantage for contractors working in sensitive environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cermet II teeth and standard carbide teeth on a metal cutting saw blade?

Cermet II refers to a specially formulated combination of ceramic and metallic materials used in the tooth construction. This formula provides higher heat tolerance and increased hardness compared to standard grinding disc abrasives, resulting in up to 25X longer blade life, up to 50X cooler cuts, and up to 10X faster cuts when cutting metals and stainless steels. The result is a more efficient cutting solution with less heat transferred to the workpiece and far fewer blade changes over time.

Can this blade cut both regular steel and stainless steel without switching blades?

Yes. The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 10-inch blade is designed as a one-blade solution that handles both metals and stainless steels. Compatible materials include steel studs, steel tube, angle iron, flat bar, channel, EMT conduit, and stainless steel, eliminating the need to keep individually dedicated blades for each material type.

What is the maximum material thickness this blade can handle?

For studs and tubing, this blade is rated for a wall thickness between 1/8" (11 gauge) minimum and 1/2" maximum. For plates and bars, it handles a thickness between 1/4" (11 gauge) minimum and 1" maximum. For rods, it is rated for diameters between 1/2" minimum and 2" maximum.

What type of saw is required to use this blade, and what is the maximum operating speed?

This blade is designed for use in a low RPM metal saw - either corded or cordless - and must not be operated above 3000 RPM. The 1" arbor and 10" diameter are the key dimensional requirements when verifying compatibility with your saw. Always confirm your saw's rated output does not exceed the blade's 3000 RPM maximum before use.
