DIABLO REVOLUTIONIZES METAL CUTTING INDUSTRY WITH STEEL DEMON® CERMETX™ CIRCULAR SAW BLADE

The First, Steel Cutting Blade to Deliver Finish-Quality Results with Extreme Durability
 and minimal sparks

ATLANTA, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Diablo Tools ("Diablo"), which offers a solution-oriented range of best-in-the-world, best-for-our-world products for the professional user, revolutionizes the metal cutting industry yet again with the Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade, the industry's first steel-cutting blade that delivers the cleanest, coolest, and longest-lasting performance cuts. The innovative Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade redefines metal cutting by delivering high-quality finish results and demolition-level durability, all while reducing sparks, hot-work permits, overheating and cleanup. Designed with Diablo's next-generation Cermet technology, the Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade delivers up to 40X longer life, 15X faster cuts and 2X more cuts per charge – offering a one blade solution to cutting mild and stainless steels.

Traditionally, abrasive cut-off discs have led the market as the solution for metal-cutting despite slow speeds, frequent blade changes, and inconsistent performance. In addition to slow cutting speeds, abrasive cut-off discs produce hot cuts that can exceed 500 degrees and require rework. Trade pros are not only forced to wait for materials to cool down before making another cut, costing them time and money, but also struggle with inconsistent performance and excessive sparks during cutting that can trigger hot-work permits. The Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade is a game-changing solution, that delivers clean, sharp results trade pros can rely on.

Previously, Diablo introduced the Steel Demon™ Cermet Blade series that disrupted the industry by being the first one-blade solution for precise, burr-free cuts with minimum sparks when cutting mild and stainless steel. Now, Diablo has gone even further with the introduction of the Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade, which delivers faster cuts, longer life, and more cuts per charge, a truly first of its kind. Featuring a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry, which produces large chips instead of the harmful dust like abrasive discs, Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade is improving jobsite safety by reducing airborne contaminants.

Diablo's Steel Demon® CermetX™ circular saw blade features Diablo's one-of-a-kind Cermet (Ceramic and Metallic blend) teeth that provide high heat tolerances and focus on high durability for trusted wear and ultimate cutting life. With advanced Cermet formulation, trade pros can cut through metal and stainless steel, while receiving precise, clean cuts without the rework or jobsite downtime. Featuring a new thin-kerf design, Diablo's Steel Demon® CermetX™ blade delivers high-speed, controlled cutting and 2X more cuts per charge for optimized cutting efficiency.

"Diablo has changed the game yet again with the radical Steel Demon® CermetX™ Circular Saw Blade, the first steel-cutting blade on the market allows PROs to cut steel in a safer environment that significantly minimizes sparks with no dust, all while using a 7-1/4" circular saw blade," says Russell Kohl, President and CEO of Diablo Tools. "At Diablo, we listen to the pain points of our end-users and invest in innovative technology that provides the solutions they need and deserve. This groundbreaking design is not only making the jobsite safer by providing cooler cuts with minimal sparks and less dust, but improving the performance and time it takes to complete the job with faster and cleaner cuts – which is what our users expect from Diablo. The Steel Demon® CermetX™ Circular Saw Blade, is unmatched in performance and durability and is creating the new standard for cutting mild and stainless steels."
