About this product
The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 9" x 46-Tooth Saw Blade for Medium Metal brings a new level of performance to circular saw metal cutting, delivering precision cuts through steel, stainless steel, angle iron, EMT conduit, flat bar, steel tubing, and more. Engineered with proprietary Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) tooth technology, this 9-inch blade is purpose-built for low RPM metal saws and outpaces standard grinding discs in speed, heat management, and service life - making it the go-to choice for professionals tackling structural steel, mechanical, and electrical work on the jobsite.
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, reducing downtime and tooling costs on demanding metal cutting jobs.
- Up to 50X cooler cuts - compared to a grinding disc that increases the temperature of steel by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit, preventing permanent discoloration of the steel and preserving workpiece integrity.
- Up to 10X faster cuts - for maximum productivity and efficiency, resulting in up to 60 seconds faster cuts in both metals and stainless steels versus standard grinding discs, keeping projects on schedule.
- Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry - reduces sparks and the possibility of needing "hot" permits, improving jobsite safety when cutting through metal pipe, channel, and structural steel.
- Optimized blade design - reduces wandering and deflection of metal, creating precise cuts that require virtually no re-work, saving labor time on fit-up and finishing.
- Advanced Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and vibration for maximum stability, keeping the blade cool during continuous cutting 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, extending blade life even under heavy-duty conditions.
- Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design (.075" kerf) - provides less resistance and heat build-up for ease of cut, accuracy, and long cutting life in both cordless and corded saws, reducing strain on the tool motor.
- Perma-SHIELD coating - resists heat build-up by protecting the blade against gumming and corrosion, helping the blade perform consistently across a wide range of metal materials.
- Laser Cut Arbor (1" arbor) - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate blade rotation throughout the blade's service life.
- One-blade solution for metals and stainless steels - eliminates the need for individually dedicated saw blades, offering unmatched value for shops and jobsites cutting multiple metal types.
- Controlled cutting action produces larger chip sizes - generating less dust and airborne contaminates, supporting cleaner work environments and reducing respiratory exposure risk.
Why This Product
- For contractors cutting through steel studs, angle iron, EMT conduit, and stainless steel on the same job, this blade replaces multiple dedicated blades with a single 9-inch solution - reducing tool bag weight and blade inventory costs.
- The Cermet II tooth formulation tolerates the intense heat of metal cutting without degrading, giving tradespeople up to 25X longer blade life compared to grinding discs and dramatically cutting the frequency and cost of blade replacements.
- Cuts run up to 50X cooler than grinding disc alternatives, which is critical when working with stainless steel or finish-quality metals where heat discoloration or warping is unacceptable.
- The Triple Chip Grind tooth pattern significantly reduces sparks during cutting, which matters on jobsites where hot work permits are required or where sparks present a safety risk near other materials and workers.
