Jigsaw blade Hitachi RM35B

The Hitachi RM35B jigsaw blade by Hikoki is intended for precision cutting of aluminium, non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood. It has a working length of 12.8 cm and an overall length of 15 cm, with a tooth pitch of 1.4 mm that supports fine, controlled cuts. The blade is suitable for tasks requiring thin-profile cutting up to a maximum material thickness of 0.9 mm. Packaged in a blister for secure storage, the blade is compatible with jigsaw models that accept this common T-shank or universal mounting style.

Advantages

The RM35B blade provides consistent cutting performance across a range of materials, offering a balance between speed and finish thanks to its 1.4 mm tooth spacing. Its 12.8 cm working length allows for deeper cuts than short blades while maintaining rigidity for straight cuts. The narrow maximum cutting thickness rating makes this blade well suited to thin sheet materials, reducing burrs and deformation on softer metals and plastics. Blister packaging keeps the blade protected and easy to handle.

How to use

Install the blade into your jigsaw following the tool manufacturer's instructions for blade mounting and securing. Ensure the machine is unplugged or the battery is removed before changing blades. Select an appropriate cutting speed and support the workpiece to prevent vibration. For thin metals and plastics, use steady feed and avoid excessive pressure to reduce the risk of bending or chipping. For wood, guide the jigsaw steadily along the cutline to achieve a smooth finish.

Recommendations

For best results, clamp thin sheets securely and use a lubricant or masking tape on metal to minimise burrs. Match blade stroke speed to material: lower speed and steady feed for metals and plastics, higher speed for softer woods. Inspect the blade before use and replace it if teeth are worn or damaged to maintain cut quality and safety.
