Meet the Diablo D1490CF 14" x 90-Teeth Steel Demon™ Cermet II Saw Blade for Thin Metal—the one-blade solution that changes the game for metal cutting. Compatible with both cordless and corded circular saws, this blade is purpose-built to deliver precise, burr-free cuts in thin metals and stainless steels with remarkable efficiency.

Why this blade stands apart

• Cermet II teeth provide exceptional heat tolerance and hardness, delivering up to 25X longer life and 50X cooler cuts compared to standard grinding discs, while achieving 10X faster cuts.
• Triple Chip Grind reduces burrs and enhances edge stability for cleaner finishes, especially on thin metals where a precise kerf matters.
• Perma-SHIELD coating minimizes heat buildup and wear, extending blade life and maintaining a smoother cut over time.
• Specialized design enables burr-free, precise cuts with lesssparks, even when working near edges or tight tolerances.
• Engineered for a one-blade solution that can handle both metals and stainless steels, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated blades.
• Controlled cutting action creates larger chip sizes, which reduces dust and airborne contaminants on the jobsite.

What you can cut with it

• Thin metals such as sheet metal and mild steel
• Stainless steel sheets and light metal panels
• HVAC ductwork components, metal studs, automotive bodywork, and other metal fabrication tasks

Ideal for whom and when

• Professionals and DIYers mounting or fabricating thin metal parts with a 14" circular saw
• HVAC installers, metal fabricators, electricians, and automotive hobbyists who want fewer blade swaps
• Projects requiring fine finishes, minimal burrs, and lower dust output

Performance you’ll notice on the job

The combination of Cermet II teeth, Tripe Chip Grind, and Perma-SHIELD coating translates to tangible advantages: longer blade life, cooler operation, faster completion of metal cuts, and cleaner edges. Compared to traditional blades, you’ll experience fewer sparks, less post-cut deburring, and a more consistent kerf—especially valuable when repeatedly cutting thin stock or stainless steel.

Tips for best results

• Allow the blade to do the work—let the teeth do the cutting at a steady feed rate to maximize life and minimize heat buildup.
• Ensure your saw’s RPM falls within the blade’s safe operating range and that the arbor size matches your tool.
• Clamp workpieces securely and support long cuts to prevent deflection and achieve straight, burr-free edges.
• Use clean, dry metal without coatings that could chip prematurely, and avoid forcing the blade through metal joints or heavy gauge sections.

With the Diablo D1490CF, you gain a high-performance, all-in-one metal cutting blade that pairs exceptional durability with precise, cleaner finishes—perfect for professionals tackling thin metal work with confidence.
