Sabre saw blade Bosch S 3456 XF Bimetal 20 cm 1 pc

The Bosch S 3456 XF bimetal sabre saw blade is a 20 cm replacement blade made for reciprocating saws. Engineered from bimetal construction, it combines flexibility and wear resistance to handle a range of materials including chipboard, epoxy, profiles, thin sheet metal and wood with embedded nails. With a tooth pitch of 6–12 TPI, the blade balances cutting speed and longevity for mixed demolition and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The bimetal design provides improved durability compared with standard carbon blades while retaining enough flexibility to resist breakage under heavy use. The 6–12 TPI tooth configuration allows efficient cutting through both soft and harder materials, reducing the need to change blades frequently. At 20 cm length, the blade reaches deeper into workpieces and offers stable guidance during reciprocating action, delivering consistent cutting performance.

Suitable for

• Demolition and renovation work involving chipboard and composite boards
• Cutting through wood that may contain nails or metal fasteners
• Trimming and profiling thin sheet metal and metal profiles
• Precision removal of epoxy or resin-bonded materials

Key specifications

• Blade length: 20 cm
• Material: bimetal construction for wear resistance and flexibility
• Tooth pitch: 6–12 TPI for mixed-material cutting
• Compatibility: designed for standard reciprocating/sabre saw blade holders
• Quantity: 1 piece per package

How to use

Install the blade into the reciprocating saw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is securely locked in the blade holder. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material: slower speeds and steady feed for metal and epoxy, higher speed for unsecured wood or chipboard. Apply even pressure and allow the blade to do the cutting; avoid forcing the blade to prevent overheating and premature wear. Inspect the work area for hidden fasteners before cutting and use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Recommendations

For extended blade life when cutting mixed materials, keep cutting speed moderate and clear chips from the kerf regularly. Use coolant or intermittent cutting when working with thick metal to reduce heat buildup. Replace the blade when tooth wear or lost cutting performance is observed to maintain safe and efficient operation.
