Milwaukee 48-40-0822 8-1/4 in. 40 Tooth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade

Milwaukee’s 48-40-0822 8-1/4″ 40T Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade is designed to leave clean, splinter-controlled edges on plywood, hardwoods, softwoods, MDF and melamine while keeping feed smooth on both cordless and corded saws. A 15° ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) tooth geometry shears 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 with less chatter for a smoother surface that needs minimal sanding.

An anti-friction coating reduces heat and pitch build-up, helping the blade stay sharp and resist corrosion. Cobalt-infused tungsten-carbide tips hold an edge longer for consistent cut quality across long runs. The thin 0.083″ kerf lowers cutting force—ideal for compact table saws and cordless circular saws—delivering faster cuts and more cuts per charge without sacrificing accuracy. A standard 5/8″ arbor fits common 8-1/4″ jobsite saws.

Finish crews need a fine finish circular saw blade that leaves clean edges without bogging down cordless tools. The 48-40-0822 combines an efficient thin kerf with ATB teeth and a low-drag coating to deliver smooth crosscuts and accurate trims on cabinet-grade plywood and hardwoods. The laser-cut plate and vibration-damping slots help the blade stay true so installers spend less time sanding or touching up edges. With cobalt-infused carbide tips, the edge lasts longer across full-day tasks, while the common 5/8″ arbor drops into most 8-1/4″ saws already on site.

Milwaukee 48-40-0822 8-1/4 in. 40 Tooth Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade Notes for Buyers (quick tips)

• Best Use: Crosscuts and finish passes on sheet goods and trim; for aggressive ripping in thick hardwood, consider a lower tooth count.
• Support the Work: Back up thin veneers and melamine (sacrificial board or zero-clearance insert) to further reduce chip-out.
• Feed & Speed: Keep a steady feed—let the thin kerf do the work; avoid forcing the cut to limit heat and pitch.
• Maintenance: Clean resin from the coating and teeth to maintain cut quality; sharpen when burn marks or tear-out increase.
• Compatibility: Fits saws with 5/8″ arbor and 8-1/4″ blade capacity commonly found on circular saws and compact/jobsite table saws
