MILWAUKEE blades for best performance. When
selecting a blade, choose the right type and length.
Many types of blades are available for a variety of
applications: cutting metal, wood, nail-embedded
wood, scroll cutting, roughing-in, and contours.
Many lengths are also available. Choose a length
long enough to extend beyond the shoe and your
work throughout the stroke. Do not use blades less
than 3-1/2" long since they won't extend beyond
the shoe throughout the stroke.
