Industrial-Grade 5-1/2 Inch 30-Tooth Steel Demon Carbide Metal Cutting Saw Blade
The Diablo D0530MET 5-1/2-Inch Steel Demon Metal Cutting Saw Blade serves as a commercial trim saw blade engineered to execute burr-free, cold-cutting passes through mild steel studs, angle iron, channels, and EMT conduit. Featuring 30 TiCo high-density titanium cobalt carbide teeth in a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) profile with tri-metal shock-resistant brazing, this 20mm arbor blade slices steel up to 1/8-inch wall thickness and threaded rod up to 1-inch diameter. Optimized for handheld trim saws running up to 6,000 RPM, the 0.059-inch thin kerf blade utilizes laser-cut vibration dampening vents and a non-stick red Perma-SHIELD thermal coating to produce spark-suppressed cuts that remain cool to the touch.
Best Used For:
- Steel Stud & Track Framing: Cutting light-gauge steel studs, wall tracks, and hat channels cleanly without leaving ragged metal burrs.
- Structural Steel Angle & Channel Slicing: Trimming mild steel angle iron, structural channel, and steel tubing up to 1/8-inch wall thickness.
- Threaded Rod & EMT Conduit Slicing: Slicing electrical metallic tubing (EMT) and 1/4-inch to 1-inch steel threaded rods without ruining thread leads.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- TiCo Hi-Density Metal Carbide: Custom-formulated carbide tooth blend provides high wear resistance and outlasts standard abrasive grinding wheels.
- Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry: Shears structural steel efficiently while drastically suppressing sparks and hot metal shavings.
- Tri-Metal Shock-Resistant Brazing: Multi-layer silver-copper-silver brazing allows carbide tips to withstand intense impact forces without shearing off.
- Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Thermal Coating: Red fluoropolymer shield reduces cutting friction, guards against rust, and prevents pitch buildup.
- Laser-Cut Thin Kerf (0.059 in.): Requires minimal torque energy to maximize battery runtimes on cordless trim saws.
- Vibration Dampening Stabilizer Vents: Laser-etched slots trap noise and heat to keep the 0.039-inch steel plate flat for straight cuts.

Pro-Tip: When cutting thin steel studs or EMT conduit, maintain a steady forward feed speed and let the 30 TCG teeth slice cleanly through the wall. Avoid forcing the saw through metal, as smooth feed pressure keeps the cutting kerf cool and prevents carbide tip chipping.
