Why choose it

The fine 24 TPI tooth pitch produces smooth, burr-free cuts in thin metal, while the bi-metal construction withstands heat and wear far better than standard carbon steel blades. The universal shank fits all major reciprocating saw brands, including Makita, Bosch, DeWalt, and Milwaukee, making it a versatile addition to any toolbox.

Ideal use cases

• Cutting sheet metal up to 3 mm thick
• Trimming metal pipes and profiles
• Demolition work involving thin metal structures

Good to know

For optimal blade life, use a slow stroke speed and light feed pressure when cutting metal. The wavy set tooth design reduces vibration and prevents blade pinching in thin materials.
