Bosch T 718 BF Flexible for Metal-Sandwich Jigsaw Blades

The Bosch T 718 BF Flexible for Metal-Sandwich jigsaw blade is designed for straight, breakproof cutting of metal-sandwich panels up to 120 mm thickness. Manufactured as a bi-metal (BIM) blade, it combines a fully hardened HSS tooth strip with a highly elastic HCS body to provide the hardness needed for cutting and the flexibility required to reduce the risk of breakage. This 180 mm long blade features a fine 2.0 mm tooth pitch and is compatible with jigsaws that use a T-Shank clamping system.

Advantages

Constructed from bimetal with an HSS tooth strip and HCS body, the blade delivers a balance of hardness and flexibility that minimizes breakage during straight cuts in metal-sandwich panels. The fine 2.0 mm tooth pitch and 180 mm length enable precise, long cuts up to 120 mm panel thickness. T-Shank compatibility ensures secure mounting in most modern jigsaws.

How to use

Install the T 718 BF blade into a compatible jigsaw with a T-Shank clamping system following the jigsaw manufacturer's instructions. Secure the blade firmly, set the jigsaw to an appropriate speed for metal cutting, and make straight, controlled passes through the metal-sandwich panel. Use steady feed pressure and allow the blade to do the cutting to avoid bending or premature wear. Replace the blade when cutting quality decreases or teeth become damaged.

Recommendations

For best results, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely, and use a cutting speed recommended for metal cutting. Avoid aggressive lateral forces on the blade to reduce the risk of breakage and prolong blade life.
