Bosch S 611 DF Heavy for Wood and Metal Sabre Saw Blades

The Bosch S 611 DF Heavy sabre saw blade is a bi-metal (BIM) blade designed for plunge and through cuts in both wood and metal. With a total length of 150 mm and a cutting capacity up to 100 mm, it is intended for demolition and general cutting tasks in window stock and similar workpieces. The blade combines a high carbon steel (HCS) body with a high-speed steel (HSS) tooth strip for improved durability when cutting mixed materials. It fits sabre saws with a 1/2 inch universal shank system.

Advantages

The large tooth pitch (4.3 mm) and side-set teeth provide fast material removal and efficient plunge cutting. The fully tapered body improves access in confined or hard-to-reach areas, while the pointed tip is optimised for plunge starts. The bi-metal construction balances flexibility and tooth hardness, extending blade life when cutting wood, chipboard and thin metal components.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible sabre saw with a 1/2 inch universal shank locking mechanism following the tool manufacturer’s instructions. For plunge cuts, position the pointed tip against the work surface and start the saw at low speed to establish the initial cut, then increase speed as needed. Use steady, controlled feed pressure; allow the blade teeth to remove material without forcing the blade. For mixed-material cutting, keep a consistent cutting motion and avoid lateral bending to prolong blade life.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves and hearing protection) and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Select this blade for fast, coarse cuts in wood and thin metal; choose a finer-pitched blade for smoother finishes or thicker metals.
