Meet the Diablo DS1208CF3 12" Steel Demon™ Carbide Teeth Reciprocating Saw Blade for Thick Metal (3-pk)—a true workhorse designed to take on brutal metal cutting tasks with precision and durability.

Carbide-tipped for extreme metal cutting — These blades are the first of their kind in the Steel Demon line, engineered with carbide teeth to conquer high-strength alloys, cast iron, and stainless steel. The TiCo Hi-Density carbide teeth deliver impressive wear resistance, so you’ll spend less time changing blades and more time making progress.

Outstanding cutting life — When cutting thick metal in the 3/16" to 9/16" range, you can expect up to 50x longer blade life versus standard bi-metal blades. That means fewer interruptions on demanding projects and more consistent performance from start to finish.

Designed for thick metal, with the right balance of speed and durability — The 12" blade length provides deep cuts, while the 8 TPI configuration strikes a practical balance between aggressive material removal and a smoother finish. Ideal for heavy-duty applications where accuracy and endurance matter.

Ideal use cases — Perfect for metal fabrication, demolition, HVAC and plumbing rough-ins, and remodeling tasks that involve thick steel, stainless steel, or cast iron. Whether you’re cutting structural steel, pipe, angle iron, or thick stainless, these blades maintain performance under tough conditions.

What you get — A convenient 3-pack of DS1208CF3 blades, each 12" long with 8 TPI and Steel Demon™ carbide teeth, ready to tackle multiple cuts across demanding projects.

Tips for best results — Use a steady, controlled feed to maximize blade life, avoid binding by guiding the blade along a straight, unobstructed path, and keep the blade cool to preserve carbide integrity. Pair with a compatible reciprocating saw for optimal performance and longer life.
