Overview
The Diablo D0736GPA 7-1/4 in. x 36-Tooth Wood & Metal Carbide Saw Blade is a multipurpose circular saw blade built for cutting wood, wood with nails, and light metal with the same blade. This is a circular saw blade designed for mixed material cutting on jobs where stopping to swap blades slows you down. Model Number: D0736GPA. For remodelers, framers, maintenance crews, and serious DIY users, that matters because one blade can cover common wood and metal cuts without dragging a second saw to the job.
Diablo rates this blade for clean wood and wood with nails up to 2-1/4 in. thick, plus steel material with wall thickness from 3/32 in. to 1/4 in. It is also designed to cut threaded rod from 1/4 in. to 1 in. diameter. In real use, that makes it a strong fit for 2x lumber, demolition cleanup, steel studs, channel, angle iron, pipe, tubing, flat bar, and basic utility fabrication where you need one circular saw setup that can move across materials.
The 36-tooth C-ATB tooth geometry is a big part of why this blade stands out. A lower tooth count might cut faster in rough lumber but usually gives up finish quality. A higher tooth count can be slower and less forgiving in dirty material. This 36-tooth layout lands in the useful middle: smooth enough for clean wood cuts, but durable enough to deal with nails and light metal without turning the blade into a disposable item.
Diablo uses its TiCo Hi-Density carbide here for impact resistance and longer wear in mixed-material cutting. That is backed up by Tri-Metal shock-resistant brazing, which helps the carbide tips stay put when the blade sees harder hits than a standard wood-cutting blade is made for. If your work involves reclaimed lumber, renovation framing, or jobs where hidden fasteners are a fact of life, that extra toughness is not just a spec sheet line. It directly affects blade life and jobsite downtime.
The blade also gets Diablo's Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating, which helps reduce heat, gumming, and corrosion. Combined with the laser-cut thin kerf design, that means less resistance through the cut and less heat buildup during longer runs. For the user, the payoff is easier feed pressure, cleaner tracking, and less wasted effort, especially on cordless circular saws where efficiency matters.
Accuracy is helped further by laser-cut stabilizer vents and a laser-cut arbor that reduce vibration and premature wear. That matters in both wood cutting and metal cutting because a blade that runs smoother tends to cut straighter, stay cooler, and leave a cleaner edge. On lighter cordless saws, where vibration can show up fast, those details make the blade feel more controlled.
Fitment is straightforward. This is a 7-1/4 in. circular saw blade with a 5/8 in. arbor, optimized for both corded and cordless saws. The blade is rated for a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, so it suits a wide range of standard 7-1/4 in. circular saws used in carpentry, remodeling, and metal stud work. If you need a blade that can move from wood framing to steel stud or threaded rod cuts without changing setups every few minutes, this is the kind of blade that earns space in the truck.
Who should buy it? Anyone doing mixed-material work with a handheld circular saw. If you mostly cut clean finish lumber all day, a dedicated fine-finish blade still makes more sense. But if your work includes demolition, repair, remodel, steel stud layout, utility cuts, or wood that may hide nails, the Diablo D0736GPA is a smarter and more efficient choice.
Built for Mixed Material Cuts
This blade is made for the jobs where materials change but the deadline does not. Instead of keeping separate blades for framing lumber, nail hits, and light steel, you can keep one proven setup on the saw and keep moving.
- Rated for wood and wood with nails up to 2-1/4 in. thick
- Rated for steel wall thickness from 3/32 in. to 1/4 in.
- Cuts 1/4 in. to 1 in. diameter threaded rod
- Thin kerf design helps reduce drag and heat buildup

Pro Tip
This blade makes the most sense on remodel and repair work where you may hit nails or need to jump over to steel studs or threaded rod. Stay within the rated wood and metal thickness ranges and let the blade do the work instead of forcing the saw through the cut.

Tool Nut's Take
Diablo D0736GPA 7-1/4 in. x 36-Tooth Wood & Metal Carbide Saw Blade for Fast-Moving Remodel Work
This is the blade you buy when the job keeps changing materials and you do not want to keep changing blades.
- Who it's for: Contractors, remodelers, maintenance crews, and DIY users cutting lumber, nail-embedded wood, steel studs, angle iron, and threaded rod with a 7-1/4 in. circular saw.
- Why it stands out: It combines real wood-cutting performance with legit light-metal capability, and Diablo backs that up with TiCo carbide, shock-resistant brazing, a thin kerf, and vibration control features.
- Worth knowing: This is a versatile jobsite blade, not a specialty finish blade for cabinet work. If mixed-material cutting is your reality, it is one of the smartest blades to keep on the saw.
