Industrial-Grade 12 Inch 80-Tooth Cermet II Steel Demon Stainless Steel Saw Blade
The Diablo D1280CF 12-Inch Steel Demon Cermet II Saw Blade functions as an industrial metal cutting disc engineered to execute cool, burr-free cuts through stainless steel studs, mild steel angle iron, threaded rod, and metal tubing. Manufactured with Cermet II ceramic-metallic tooth tips arranged in a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) geometry, this 1-inch arbor blade operates on dedicated low-RPM dry-cut metal saws running at speeds up to 1,800 RPM. Featuring a 0.083-inch thin kerf, a 0-degree hook angle, laser-cut stabilizer vents, and a red Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating, the blade yields up to 25X service life and 50X cooler cuts over bonded abrasive grinding wheels without heat discoloration.
Best Used For:
- Stainless Steel Stud & Framing Slicing: Cutting stainless steel structural studs and track (1/16-inch to 1/4-inch wall thickness) with burr-free edge profiles.
- Steel Angle Iron & Channel Cutting: Executing high-speed cool cuts through mild steel angle iron, unistrut, and structural steel tubing.
- Metal Plate & Bar Stock Milling: Slicing solid steel bar stock and steel plates ranging from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch thickness without thermal discoloration.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Cermet II Ceramic-Metallic Tooth Formulation: Advanced ceramic and metallic composition provides extreme heat resistance and up to 25X lifespan over abrasive discs.
- Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Geometry: Specialized tooth profile generates cool, spark-free cuts and clean, touch-safe metal edges without thermal distortion.
- Laser-Cut Thin Kerf (0.083 in.): Minimal cutting width profile reduces feed torque and power draw on low-RPM dry-cut saws.
- Perma-SHIELD Non-Stick Thermal Coating: Protective fluoropolymer barrier guards against extreme friction heat, pitch gumming, and surface rust.
- Laser-Cut Anti-Vibration Stabilizer Vents: Precision expansion slots absorb noise and lateral vibration to keep the 0.071-inch steel core plate tracking true at 1,800 RPM.
- Tri-Metal Shock-Resistant Brazing: Silver-copper-silver brazing allows Cermet II teeth to absorb high impact when striking solid steel stock.

Pro-Tip: Always operate the D1280CF on a dedicated low-RPM dry-cut metal saw rated at or below 1,800 RPM, and never mount it on a standard high-speed wood miter saw. When cutting stainless steel tubing or angle iron, clamp the workpiece firmly on both sides of the blade kerf to eliminate material vibration that can chip Cermet II tooth tips.
