12" Saw Blades
12-Inch Saw Blades for Miter Saws and Metal Cutting
12-inch saw blades mostly serve 12-inch miter saws and large table saws. Wood blades here range from 60 to 100 teeth from Bosch, Diablo, DeWALT, and Freud, including composite decking blades and the Freud SD512 Super Dado set. Metal cutting options include Bosch and DeWALT ferrous and stainless blades, the Diablo Steel Demon cermet blade, and aluminum and non-ferrous blades. Bosch diamond blades cut hard materials. The collection also holds 12-inch reciprocating saw blades from Diablo, Lenox, and DeWALT and a Klein hacksaw.
What to Look For
- Saw match. Circular blades need a saw with the right arbor and speed rating. Recip blades fit reciprocating saws only.
- Material. Ferrous blades cut steel. Non-ferrous blades cut aluminum and plastics. Diamond blades cut masonry and tile.
- Finish. 80 to 100-tooth blades leave a polished crosscut on trim and molding.
- Recip TPI. Lower TPI cuts wood and demolition fast. Higher TPI suits thin metal.

12" Saw Blades FAQ
Can I cut steel with a 12-inch miter saw blade?
Only with a blade made for it, such as a ferrous metal or cermet blade, and only on a saw rated for metal cutting. Never use a wood blade on steel.
Why are recip blades in this collection?
The collection groups blades by 12-inch length. Reciprocating blades of that length suit demolition and pruning. For the full range, see recip saw blades.
