Bosch 2 608 638 473 jigsaw/scroll saw/reciprocating saw blade

The Bosch jigsaw blade 2 608 638 473 (Type T 123 X) is an HSS-tooth blade designed for cutting sheet metal, pipes and closed profiles, and aluminium. Its total length is 100 mm and it features a milled, side-set tooth design with a tooth spacing range of 1.2–2.6 mm. The blade is intended for applications on thin to thick sheet metals (1.5–10 mm) and on pipes and profiles with diameters under 30 mm.

Advantages

Constructed from HSS material for improved wear resistance and longer life, the blade’s milled, side-set teeth deliver efficient metal removal and accurate cutting. The compact 100 mm length and the T 123 X universal shank make it compatible with most jigsaws and convenient to install. Tooth spacing suited for a range of metal thicknesses minimises burrs and provides controlled cutting speed.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the T 123 X shank securely into a compatible jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Select a moderate cutting speed appropriate for metal cutting and clamp the workpiece. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the cutting line without forcing the blade; allow the HSS teeth to cut at their designed feed rate. Use coolant or cutting lubricant if required for prolonged cutting in thicker metals to reduce heat and extend blade life.

Recommendations

For best results when cutting sheet metal and small-diameter pipes or aluminium, use a jigsaw with adjustable speed and keep the blade perpendicular to the workpiece. Replace the blade when wear or chipping increases to maintain cut quality and safety.
