Milwaukee 48-40-0820 8-1/4 in. 24 Tooth Framing Circular Saw Blade

Milwaukee’s 48-40-0820 8-1/4″ 24T Framing Blade is built for fast ripping and crosscutting through structural lumber on site—softwood, hardwood, wet/treated lumber, and engineered products like OSB, plywood, LVL, PSL, LSL, and OSL. A 24-tooth, 15° ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) grind with an 18° hook bites aggressively to move material quickly while controlling tear-out on framing cuts. The blade body is laser-cut from 100% sheet steel for plate stability, and polymer-filled vibration slots help minimize wobble and warping during heavy, continuous cuts.

To keep the cut cool and the feed smooth, Milwaukee applies an anti-friction coating that resists pitch, gumming, and corrosion. Cobalt-infused tungsten-carbide tips hold a sharp edge longer—even in wet lumber—reducing downtime for blade changes. A thin 0.083″ kerf means less material removal, faster feed rates, and more cuts per charge on cordless saws. The 5/8″ arbor with diamond knock-out fits standard circular saws and many worm/sidewinder saws that accept diamond-flange wheels.

Framers and remodelers need a framing circular saw blade that keeps saws moving quickly through mixed materials—often wet or treated—without bogging down. The 48-40-0820 pairs a thin kerf with aggressive ATB/18° hook geometry to rip and crosscut fast while keeping tear-out manageable on visible framing edges. The anti-friction coating and vibration-damping slots help the blade track straight through knots and dense laminations, and the cobalt-infused carbide stays sharp longer in harsh stock. With a 5/8″ arbor and diamond knock-out, it mounts to common circular saws across the crew, keeping workflow simple.

Why Customers Choose the Milwaukee 8-1/4″ 24 Tooth Framing Circular Saw Blade

Framers choose this blade for speed and durability across everything from kiln-dried studs to wet/treated and engineered lumber. The 24-tooth ATB pattern and thin kerf keep saws moving quickly with less push force, especially on cordless tools. The anti-friction coating helps the blade stay clean and cool, and the laser-cut plate with vibration slots tracks straight so cuts stay square—less rework, better fit-up, and smoother production.

Milwaukee 48-40-0820 8-1/4 in. 24 Tooth Framing Circular Saw Blade Notes for Buyers (quick tips)

• Best Use: Fast rips/crosscuts in framing lumber. For cabinet-grade finish, use a higher tooth count.
• Cordless Efficiency: The 0.083″ kerf favors runtime—keep the blade sharp to maximize cuts per charge.
• Engineered Lumber: Let the saw reach full speed and use steady feed to limit heat in dense laminations (LVL/PSL).
• Wet/Treated Stock: Expect more pitch; wipe the blade periodically to maintain cut quality.
• Diamond Knock-Out: Remove the knockout only if your saw requires a diamond arbor; it’s not reversible.
• Safety & Setup: Use a zero-clearance insert on table saws when possible; verify guard function and choose PPE for the material and environment.
