Bosch 2 608 654 406 jigsaw/scroll saw/reciprocating saw blade

The Bosch 2 608 654 406 jigsaw blade is a T-shank blade made from bimetal (BIM) for cutting a variety of materials. With a total length of 200 mm and a thickness of 1.25 mm, it is intended for precision work in wood, wood-based panels, plastics, aluminium profiles and thin sheet metal. The blade has a side-set, milled tooth design and a fine tooth pitch that delivers clean cuts and reduced splintering.

Advantages

The bimetal construction combines flexibility and wear resistance for extended lifetime compared with standard carbon-steel blades. Side-set milled teeth and a tooth spacing of 2.1–4.3 mm (6–12 TPI) ensure efficient chip removal and smooth cutting across mixed materials, including wood with embedded nails and fibre-reinforced plastics. A total length of 200 mm provides deeper cutting capacity suitable for thicker panels and profiles.

Suitable for

• Wood with nails or thin metal inclusions (cutting depth up to 150 mm)
• Wooden boards and chipboard (up to 150 mm)
• Sheet metal, pipes and aluminium profiles (3–18 mm)
• Plastics and plastic profiles (up to 150 mm)
• Glass fibre reinforced plastic / epoxy (up to 150 mm)

Key specifications

• Material: BIM (bimetal)
• Tooth design: side set, milled
• Tooth spacing / TPI: 2.1–4.3 mm / 6–12 TPI
• Total length: 200 mm
• Thickness: 1.25 mm

How to use

Fit the Bosch 2 608 654 406 jigsaw blade into a compatible T-shank jigsaw following the tool manufacturer’s instructions and secure the blade clamp. Select an appropriate cutting speed for the material: lower speeds for metals and reinforced plastics, higher speeds for soft wood. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the cutting line without forcing; allow the blade to cut at its own pace to avoid overheating and premature wear.

Recommendations

For longest blade life, remove accumulated chips regularly, use lubricants or cooling when cutting metals if recommended by the jigsaw manufacturer, and replace the blade when cutting quality declines or teeth show visible wear.
