Bosch 2 608 636 431 jigsaw/scroll saw/reciprocating saw blade Jigsaw blade Bimetal 5 pc(s)

The Bosch 2 608 636 431 jigsaw blade T 101 BIF Special is a bi-metal blade designed for precise straight cuts in laminate, laminated panels, parquet and similar hardwood and abrasive woodworking materials. It combines a fully hardened high-speed steel tooth strip with a flexible carbon steel body to balance cutting durability and resistance to breakage. The blade comes in a blister pack with five pieces and fits standard jigsaws that accept T-shank blades.

Advantages

The bimetal construction pairs a hardened high-speed steel tooth strip with an elastic carbon steel body for long life and reduced breakage. The pointed tooth geometry minimizes tear-out on laminate and veneered surfaces. A fine tooth pitch of 1.7 mm provides clean, accurate cuts in solid wood and engineered boards with thicknesses from 2 to 30 mm. The T-shank design ensures quick, secure mounting in compatible jigsaws.

Suitable for

• Cutting laminate flooring and laminated panels
• Making straight cuts in parquet and solid wood (2–30 mm)
• Trimming uPVC with thin profiles
• Precision work where reduced tear-out is required

How to use

Select the jigsaw blade holder compatible with T-shank blades and securely fit the Bosch T 101 BIF blade according to your tool manufacturer’s instructions. Use a steady, moderate feed rate and allow the blade to do the cutting; avoid forcing the cut to maintain tooth life and reduce breakage. For laminate or veneered surfaces, cut with the good face down (or as recommended by the workpiece manufacturer) to minimize surface chipping. Replace the blade after noticeable wear or if cutting quality decreases.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask) and operate the jigsaw at speeds suitable for laminate and hardwood. Ensure workpiece is firmly clamped and, where possible, test cuts on scrap material to confirm settings before final cuts.
