Benchmark Abrasives TCT 8 Inch Circular Saw Blade, Tungsten Carbide Tipped Metal Cutting Saw Blades for Cutting Metal, Stainless Steel, Ferrous Metals, Miter Saw Blade (8" 48 Teeth)

I was skeptical on how well this would cut through steel, pleasantly surprised and very happy with this blade. Using a cordless skill saw it cuts through 12 gage sheet metal like butter, and after cutting up 2 4X8 sheets it showed little sign of wear and still cut like it was brand new.

What can I say, bought for a good price and works like it should. Using for cutting Legrand Wiremold 700 raceway. It provides a quick smooth cut.

I wore goggles, but if I were to do this again I would have worn ear protection. screaming loud. Also the metal chips were extremely fine, more so that I was expecting. they got everywhere, embedded them selves in the soles of shoes and in the most unlikely places. Splinter-fine. Next time I would have used a drape cloth and been more concerned with containment.

Useful in our HVAC business as the go-to tool, metal cutting saw blades are in use daily. That said, the tasks they are needed for are very demanding and useful blade life will be limited. In most regards, these blades are at least as good as others costing twice as much.

Good quality and good price !!

I read a review that said only made one cut and blade was shot. Another one said had a tooth break off. I just figured those people didn’t know what they were doing or happened to get a bad blade because others had ok experiences over all. I didn’t even get a full cut on a 1”x3” 18GA (light gauge) stainless stock and a tooth broke completely off and chipped another probably 6 teeth. VERY DANGEROUS BLADE. I definitely would not buy again. Bought a Diablo Steel blade and noticed a huge difference in speed and ease of cutting. Probably have about 8 cuts on the blade and I am now starting to notice the blade is now cutting a little slower. Spend the extra $10, it’s well worth it.

Benchmark is a great company and this is a great blade.

On the first cut or two you think you've found a great new product, by cut number three you're working to get it to cut straight, by cut six you're working to get it to cut at all, then at some point it simply says "That's it, I'm not cutting another millimeter." To twice rip a 12" piece of 1/4" (6 mm) mild steel (4" box profile), I used up one $55 10' Benchmark blade, then to make 8 crosscuts in what was now 4" 'C' channel it burned up a $33 9" Benchmark blade. At the final 1/2" of cut, the blade said "no more" and only by rotating the work upward and downward into the blade for about one minute was I finally able to chew through that last 1/2". Good blade, but doesn't last in steel.
