The Ax™ blade is designed for the toughest cutting applications in wood and nail-embedded wood. Ax blades have a sloped shape for superior plunge cutting for demolition and remodeling work. Ax blades are 1 in. tall for straight, fast cuts, and are extra-thick, 0.062 in., to prevent bending. Milwaukee SAWZALL blades have a unique heat treatment process that extends blade life, and the bi-metal construction prevents the blade from breaking. The 6 in. blade is ideal for plunge cutting in wood and nail-embedded wood without bending the blade.
