Diablo D1490CF Steel Demon Cermet II 14-in Saw Blade for Thin Metal – 90T, 1-in Arbor, .083 Kerf, 1800 RPM

Powerful, precise cutting for ferrous metals

The Diablo D1490CF 14-inch saw blade is engineered with advanced Cermet II teeth designed to handle thin ferrous metal with discipline. Expect longer blade life and cooler operation as you work through steel studs, angle iron, EMT conduit, and other metal pieces. The result is a smoother cutting experience and fewer tool changes on demanding tasks.

What makes it stand out

• Up to 25x longer life and up to 50x cooler cuts thanks to the Cermet II teeth and high heat tolerance.
• Up to 10x faster cutting with the Triple Chip Grind, delivering efficient, burr-free results through metals and stainless steel.
• Laser Cut Stabilizer Vents and Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing reduce vibration and deflection for stable, precise straight cuts.
• Perma-SHIELD coating protects against heat, gumming, and corrosion, helping the blade stay cooler and perform longer between changes.
• Versatile across common ferrous applications: steel studs, angle iron, flat bar, EMT conduit, plate, bar stock, and threaded rods.

Real-world use cases

In a shop or on site, this blade shines when framing, fabricating, or repairing metal components. The combination of durable teeth and heat resistance supports longer cutting sessions with cleaner edges and less airborne dust. While results vary by material and setup, many users report smoother starts and reduced burrs when tackling steel framing and structural metal.

Engineering and compatibility details

Designed for ferrous cutting with a 14-inch diameter and a standard 1-inch arbor, the blade features a 0° hook angle for aggressive, straight starts. The plate thickness is robust for demanding cuts, and the blade runs up to 1800 RPM, making it suitable for a variety of compatible saws. This combination of features balances durability, efficiency, and control for challenging metal work.

Quick tips for best results

• Use with steady feeds and light to medium pressure to maximize life and minimize heat buildup.
• Keep the cut line steady and allow the blade to do the work rather than forcing it through the metal.
