The Diablo Steel Demon Carbide Teeth Reciprocating Saw Blade is engineered for extreme thick metal cutting with TiCo Hi-Density carbide teeth that offer up to 50X longer life than standard bi-metal blades. It features an aggressive 8 TPI design and a stable 1-inch blade height for fast, clean cuts through high-strength alloys and cast iron. Best suited for professional contractors tackling thick metals like conduit or structural pipe in demolition or fabrication.
The Dremel MM485B is a high-performance carbide flush-cutting blade designed for oscillating multi-tools, offering exceptional durability and speed in tough materials. Its primary limitation is incompatibility with plastics and ferrous metals, restricting its use to specific renovation tasks. It is best suited for professional renovators and contractors who require long-lasting blades for hard materials like tile and galvanized screws.
