In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Milwaukee 5-1/2 in. Tungsten Carbide Framing Blade with 18 teeth is engineered for the toughest framing tasks, delivering durability and precision where it matters most. The tungsten carbide teeth stay sharper longer, resisting wear when cutting through softwoods, hardwoods, wet lumber, and treated lumber—so you spend less time changing blades and more time building.

  • Diameter: 5-1/2" (139 mm)
  • Arbor: 10 mm
  • Teeth: 18
  • Grind: ATB (Alternate Top Bevel)
  • Hook angle: 18°
  • Kerf: 0.063"
  • Thickness: 0.04"
  • Max speed: 10,000 RPM
  • Material: Tungsten Carbide
  • Packaging: Carded
  • Usage: Softwoods, Hardwoods, Wet Lumber, Treated Lumber, Plywood, OSB, LVL, PSL, LSL, OSL

The ATB grind paired with an 18° hook angle delivers faster, cleaner cross-cuts and efficient ripping through laminated woods without excessive heat buildup. The 0.063" kerf strikes a balance between fast material removal and smoother finishes, reducing scorch marks and post-cut refinement—especially important on plywood, LVL, and OSB projects.

Designed for a 10 mm arbor and compatible with 5-1/2" circular saws, this blade is ideal for professional framers and serious DIYers who demand long blade life and dependable results when working with a range of wood products—from bare softwoods to glue-laminated composites.

Why choose this blade? Its tungsten carbide teeth resist dulling on dense or treated lumber, delivering consistent cuts project after project. The blade’s geometry minimizes snag and burning, helping you maintain accuracy on framing tasks, subflooring, and rough carpentry.

Practical tips for best results: keep blades clean and free of pitch, match RPM to the blade’s maximum rating, and use controlled feed pressure to extend life. For plywood and laminated panels, make shallow, steady passes to prevent splintering and ensure a crisp edge.

This Milwaukee framing blade is a purpose-built choice for professionals who want a durable, high-performance blade that tackles a variety of woods with confidence and consistency.
