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 cutting, and extra thick, 0.062 In., to prevent bending. Milwaukee Sawzall blades have a unique heat treating process that extends the life of the blades, and bi-metal construction prevents the blade from shattering. The 6 in. blade is ideal for plunge cutting into wood and nail embedded wood without bending the blade.
