DEWALT 5-3/8 in 30-Tooth Ferrous Metal Saw Blade DWA7538
The DEWALT DWA7538 5-3/8-inch ferrous metal cutting blade is a specialized tool for cutting steel, rebar, and other iron-based metals. Its 30 carbide teeth are engineered with improved carbide for longer life and less chipping—durability that matters when you’re pushing through metal. The blade is laser etched and color coded so you can quickly identify it at a glance, and the reinforced plate helps eliminate run-out for straighter cuts.
DEWALT DWA7538 Features
Better carbide for extended cutting life and reduced tooth chipping
Laser etched and color-coded for easy identification
Reinforced plate strengthens the blade and reduces run-out
20 mm arbor fits compatible circular saws
Built for Steel Cutting
This blade is intended for ferrous metals, not wood or masonry. It slices through thin steel, rebar, and metal studs with less heat buildup, keeping the blade sharp longer. The carbide grade used here is selected specifically for the abrasiveness of metal, not just a standard carbide tip.
Quick Identification
The laser-etched markings and color-coded ring tell you exactly what the blade is for, even in a crowded tool bag. No more guessing which blade is a metal blade—dark blue or bronze design signals ferrous cutting at a glance.

Product Details
Ferrous Metal Cutting Without the Fight
Cutting steel with a wood blade is a quick way to ruin both the blade and your workpiece. The DWA7538 is purpose-built for ferrous metal, using a specialized carbide formula and tooth geometry that disperses heat and reduces vibration. That translates to cleaner cuts and fewer sparks flying everywhere.
Project Uses
Cutting metal studs and track
Trimming rebar for concrete forms
Slicing steel angle and strap
Flashing and sheet metal work
If your saw takes a 20 mm arbor, this blade turns it into a metal-cutting tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this blade fit my circular saw?
It has a 20 mm arbor, which is common on European and some professional saws. Check your saw’s arbor size before ordering; 5/8 in saws may need an adapter.
Can I cut stainless steel with it?
Yes, but it’s best for thin steel, rebar, and metal studs. Stainless is tougher and will require slower feed pressure.
What is the advantage of 30 teeth for metal cutting?
The 30-tooth pattern balances cutting speed and edge quality. It clears chips effectively and resists binding in sheet metal.
Is this blade for a table saw?
No, it’s a 5-3/8 in blade designed for hand-held circular saws. Table saws typically use larger diameters.

Great blade for steel
I cut some angle iron with this and it was smooth. The carbide teeth held up. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

Professional grade
This blade is excellent for the money. It cuts through steel effortlessly without dulling quickly. The finish is clean and it runs true. I've used it on several projects and it still performs. Highly recommend.

Works well
I had to cut some rebar and it handled it fine. It's not the fastest but it gets the job done. The cuts are straight. I'd buy again.

Good but loud
It cuts steel well but it makes a lot of noise. Use ear protection. Also, it throws sparks everywhere. But the cut quality is good.
