Milwaukee 48-40-0524 5-3/8 in. 36 Tooth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade

The Milwaukee 48-40-0524 5-3/8″ Fine Finish Blade is designed for clean, accurate cuts on trim, plywood, MDF, melamine, and fine carpentry where edge quality matters—especially on compact cordless saws. A 36-tooth ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) pattern shears wood fibers to reduce tear-out on crosscuts and finish passes. The plate is laser-cut from 100% sheet steel for stability, and polymer-filled vibration slots help the blade track straight under load.

Milwaukee’s anti-friction coating helps the blade run cooler, resist gumming, and fight corrosion, so feed stays smooth. Cobalt-infused tungsten-carbide tips hold a sharp edge longer for consistent results across long workdays. The thin 0.063″ kerf lowers cutting force—great for cordless efficiency—delivering faster cuts and more cuts per charge. A 10 mm arbor fits popular 5-3/8″ compact saws used for finish and punch-list work.

Milwaukee 48-40-0524 5-3/8 in. 36 Tooth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade Notes for Buyers (quick tips)

• Best Use: Crosscuts and finish passes on plywood, MDF, and trim; for heavy ripping, a lower tooth count is faster.
• Support the Work: Use a zero-clearance insert or sacrificial backing to reduce chip-out on veneers and melamine.
• Feed & Speed: Let the saw reach full speed; maintain steady feed to limit heat and pitch.
• Maintenance: Clean resin from the coating and teeth; sharpen or replace when burn marks or tear-out increase.

• Compatibility: Verify your saw uses a 10 mm arbor and accepts 5-3/8″ blades
