Reciprocating Saw Blades
(38 Products)Reciprocating saw blades are serrated blades engineered as an attachment for a reciprocating saw blade system, using a push-and-pull motion to cut wood and tough materials. Varying blades will possess a number of teeth per inch (TPI) which determines what material they are capable of cutting. Higher TPI offers slower and more consistent cuts ideal for metal, whereas lower TPI delivers rapid cuts more suitable for wood.
What Are Reciprocating Saw Blades?
Reciprocating saw blades are an accessory for 1/2" shank reciprocating saws, capable of breaking down larger items and scaling them into manageable chunks using a push-and-pull motion.
The material that the reciprocating blades can cut is determined by their Teeth Per Inch (TPI). The average TPI for metal and plastic cutting is 14-24 whereas it ranges from 6-14 for wood.
Types of Reciprocating Saw Blades
Wood Reciprocating Saw Blades: These blades are often comprised of carbon steel giving them flexible capabilities, which is then ideal for cutting softwood, timber boards, and soft plastic. (Average TPI of 6-14)
Metal Reciprocating Saw Blades: These blades often use high-speed steel and carbide-tipped teeth for optimal heat resistance and rigidity when cutting hardened steel and other hard metals. (Average TPI of 14-24)
Stainless Reciprocating Saw Blades: Made of high-quality stainless steel, the blades provide excellent durability, resistance to corrosion and heat resistance, proving them ideal for heavy-duty cutting tasks. (Average TPI of 8)
Reciprocating Saw Blades Benefits
- Dynamic Movement: Push-and-pull motion allows for aggressive cutting through tough materials.
- Multiple TPI Saw Blades: The blades have ranging teeth per inch for different material cutting capabilities.
- Durable Composition: Metal-cutting saws feature a bi-metal cobalt edge for increased resistance to heat and wear. Wood-cutting saws are flexible, adapting to curved cuts and reducing binding.
- Wide Versatility: Suitable for cutting wood, metal, fibreglass, and plastic.
- Easy Compatibility: Designed to slot into a 1/2" Shank Saw.
