Milwaukee 48-39-0529 Compact Band Saw Blade 35-3/8-Inch 18TPI, 3 Pack

Echoing other reviewers, I saw a number of negative reviews but decided to buy anyway since they were Milwaukee blades. I have a new fuel compact saw and each blade in this pack of 3 was too loose to function. They all worked their way off of the saw - a few times off the wheels and once the blade popped off of the rollers. With a Milwaukee blade that I got from a supply house, there were no issues. The blade fit well, ran well, and cut well. I see reviews that say these didnt cut well. I never got that far because the blades would not stay on my saw. The first two photos are of a normally working band saw blade and then the last two are these blades which dont fit well enough to stay on the saw. Note the bowing in contrast to the taut working blade.

Great blades. I’ve been using the same one for a few months.

These blades dull very quickly. I just used them on 1/8 mild steel and they only lasted for about 4-5 cuts. I have been using portabands for 40 years and these are the worse blades I ever used.

I’ve had these blades for 5 months but just wore out my last one I was replacing. So I just tried to use the first one. These things are close but just a little to large. They do not tighten up enough with the tensioner locked in position. Every other blade I have ever used tightened up. These slip and or fall off as soon as the trigger is pulled. This is very disappointing and annoying.

They fit great..!! I got them for a week or two now and the blade been awesome

I only buy these Milwaukee band saw blades for my Milwaukee Portable Band Saw I use for refrigeration work. I recommend these to my friends and co-workers.

These would not work as advertised. Slightly too large, blade slips immediately.

These blades are invaluable and well worth the investment. If you need a portable band saw the Milwaukee brand are great and their warranty matches any other product out there. Their blades stand up to a lot of cutting. Id recommend ordering several tooth patterns and several packs because they do wear out and its important to have some spares and different blades for different tasks.
