About this product
The Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II 12" x 60-Tooth Saw Blade for Medium Metal (D1260CF) is a professional-grade circular saw blade engineered to cut steel tubing, angle iron, stainless steel, EMT conduit, flat bar, threaded rod, and a wide range of other medium metals with precision and efficiency. Powered by specially formulated Cermet II (Ceramic and Metallic) teeth, this 12-inch metal cutting blade delivers up to 25x longer life, 50x cooler cuts, and 10x faster cuts compared to standard grinding discs - making it the go-to solution for contractors and fabricators who demand performance and value from a single blade.
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 can raise steel temperature by up to 500 deg. Fahrenheit, this blade keeps metal cool enough to prevent permanent discoloration, preserving material integrity
- Up to 10x faster cuts - results in cuts that are up to 60 seconds faster in both metals and stainless steels versus standard grinding discs, maximizing productivity on high-volume cutting tasks
- Triple Chip Grind cutting action - reduces sparks and lowers the possibility of needing "hot" permits, making the blade safer and more practical for indoor or permit-restricted job sites
- Optimized blade design - reduces wandering and deflection of metal, creating precise, burr-free cuts that require virtually no re-work, saving time and material costs
- Advanced Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents - trap noise and vibration for maximum stability, keeping the blade cool during extended cuts for straight, accurate results
- Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing - a three-metal brazing system that allows Cermet II teeth to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability in demanding metal cutting applications
- Laser Cut Thin Kerf Design (.083" kerf) - provides less resistance and heat build-up for ease of cut, accuracy, and long cutting life whether used in cordless or corded low RPM metal saws
- Perma-SHIELD coating - resists heat build-up by protecting the blade against gumming and corrosion, extending blade life and maintaining consistent cutting performance
- Laser Cut Arbor (1" arbor) - reduces vibration and premature wear for accurate blade rotation during use, ensuring consistent cut quality over the life of the blade
- Controlled cutting action - produces larger chip sizes that generate less dust and airborne contaminates, contributing to a cleaner and safer work environment
- One-blade solution for metals and stainless steels - eliminates the need for individually dedicated blades, reducing tool inventory and offering an unmatched combination of versatility and value
Why This Product
- Contractors cutting steel studs, black iron pipe, Unistrut, and EMT conduit can replace grinding discs with this single blade and immediately gain speed, cooler results, and far less re-work - all grounded in the blade's Cermet II tooth technology and Triple Chip Grind design.
- The blade handles both standard metals and stainless steel in a single tool, covering plate and bar thicknesses from 1/4" to 1", rod diameters from 1/2" to 2", and tubing wall thicknesses from 1/8" to 1/2" - eliminating the need to swap blades between material types.
- With a maximum RPM of 1800 and a design optimized for low RPM metal saws, this blade is purpose-built for the machines used in metal fabrication and mechanical trades, not a general-purpose blade pressed into service.
- Reduced sparks from the Triple Chip Grind and cooler operating temperatures mean this blade is better suited for environments where grinding disc spark output creates safety concerns or permit complications.
