Description
Diablo D0648CFA Steel Demon 6-1/2" x 48 Tooth Cermet Blade for Metals and Stainless Steel
High-Performance Metal Cutting with 3X Longer Life
The Diablo D0648CFA Steel Demon™ is the ultimate upgrade for your 6-1/2" cordless circular saw. Engineered with advanced Cermet II (Ceramic and Metal) technology, this blade is specifically designed to tackle the most demanding metal-cutting applications, including stainless steel, struts, and threaded rods.
Unlike traditional abrasive wheels that generate excessive heat and dangerous sparks, the Steel Demon™ stays cool to the touch. The Cermet II teeth provide a cleaner, burr-free finish and up to 3X the life of standard carbide blades. Whether you are an electrician cutting conduit or a metal fabricator working with stainless sheets, this blade delivers industrial-grade precision in a cordless-friendly format.
Why the Diablo Steel Demon™ Dominates:
- Cermet II Teeth: A proprietary ceramic-metallic blend that provides extreme heat resistance and superior hardness for cutting hardened metals.
- Triple Chip Grind (TCG): Engineered for clean, burr-free finishes that require no rework.
- Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Reduces friction and heat buildup, protecting your saw's motor and extending the blade's life.
- Laser-Cut Stabilizer Vents: Traps noise and vibration for a smoother cut and stabilized blade body.
- Cordless Optimized: The ultra-thin kerf design reduces drag, allowing your cordless saw to make more cuts per battery charge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+ Can this blade cut through Stainless Steel?
Yes. This blade is specifically optimized for Stainless Steel (304 and 316). The Cermet II teeth are significantly harder than standard carbide, allowing them to slice through stainless without the edge rounding off or overheating.
+ What is "Cermet II" and why is it better?
Cermet II is a composite of Ceramic and Metal. It provides higher heat resistance and a sharper cutting edge than traditional tungsten carbide. In metal cutting, this means the blade lasts 3X longer and produces "cool-to-the-touch" results.
+ Can I use this blade in a standard wood-cutting saw?
Caution: While it fits 6-1/2" cordless saws, ensure your saw does not exceed 6,000 RPM. More importantly, always clear your saw of wood dust before cutting metal to prevent a fire from the few sparks that may be generated.
+ Is this blade suitable for thick steel plate?
This blade is optimized for thin to medium metals (up to 1/8" thickness). For materials thicker than 1/4", we recommend using a lower tooth count blade specialized for heavy metal.
