Product Information

Full details

The Bosch EXPERT AIZ 20 AIT MetalMax Plunge Cut Blade is designed for professional contractors and metalworkers who require high-performance cutting capabilities in demanding environments. Utilizing advanced Bosch Carbide Technology, this blade offers a service life up to 50 times longer than standard bimetal blades, making it ideal for frequent cutting of hardened screws, nails, and tough metal pipes. While its superior durability is unmatched, the specialized carbide teeth require careful operation to avoid unnecessary stress on the oscillating tool motor when cutting through extremely thick hardened materials.

FAQs

Does this blade fit non-Bosch oscillating tools?

Yes, as long as your oscillating tool uses the Starlock, StarlockPlus, or StarlockMax mounting system.

Can I use this blade on wood with nails?

Yes, the MetalMax is specifically designed to cut through nails and screws embedded in wood without losing edge integrity.

How many blades come in the package?

This specific package includes 5 blades, each measuring 20 x 40 mm.

Can this blade cut stainless steel?

Yes, the carbide technology is capable of cutting through stainless steel, though it may wear the blade faster than mild steel.

What is the primary difference between AIZ 20 AIT and standard bimetal blades?

The AIZ 20 AIT uses carbide-tipped teeth for significantly higher hardness and durability, whereas standard bimetal blades rely on high-speed steel which wears down much faster on hardened metals.

Do I need special equipment to change the blade?

No, the Starlock system is tool-free, allowing for blade changes in under 3 seconds.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels loose during operation

Ensure the Starlock mount is fully engaged and 'clicked' into the tool head; check that no debris is stuck between the tool and the blade interface.

Reduced cutting speed

Check if the carbide teeth have become clogged with metal shavings or if the blade has reached the end of its lifespan; clear debris with a stiff brush.

Blade overheating quickly

Reduce the downward pressure on the tool and allow the oscillating action to perform the cut; ensure the tool speed is set appropriately for metal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Up to 50x longer life than standard blades
  • Rapid blade changes with Starlock system
  • Excellent for hardened metal and screws
  • Compact 20mm width for precise access
  • High heat resistance during heavy-duty use

Cons

  • Higher initial cost compared to bimetal blades
  • Specific to oscillating multi-tools with Starlock mounts
  • Not intended for non-metal heavy demolition tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the blade, align the Starlock mount on the blade with the oscillating tool and press firmly until you hear an audible click. The blade is compatible with all Starlock-enabled oscillating tools. For removal, most Starlock tools feature a lever-activated release system that ejects the blade instantly. To maintain the blade, avoid cutting through concrete or masonry, as these materials can blunt the carbide edges prematurely. Store the blades in their original packaging to protect the teeth from accidental impact or oxidation.
