Starrett Metal Cutting Jigsaw Blades - BU232-5 - Pack of 5

These blades are designed for cutting a variety of metals, including sheet metal, pipe, and angle iron. Always refer to your jigsaw's manual for material limitations.

The Starrett BU232-5 features a Unified Shank™ specifically designed for compatibility with virtually all jigsaw machines.

Starrett claims these blades typically last 25% longer than directly competing bi-metal products due to their advanced manufacturing process and strong teeth.

While technically possible, these blades are optimized for metal cutting. For wood, it is recommended to use blades specifically designed for that material to achieve the best results and blade longevity.

TPI stands for Teeth Per Inch. A 32 TPI blade has 32 teeth per inch, making it suitable for cutting thinner metals and providing a finer finish.

Store the blades in a dry place to prevent rust and keep them in their original packaging or a blade case to protect the teeth.

Ensure the blade is correctly installed with the teeth facing the correct direction for cutting. Check if the jigsaw speed is appropriate for the metal thickness. Verify that the blade is not dull or damaged.

Avoid forcing the blade through the material. Ensure the jigsaw is not binding or twisting during the cut. Check for excessive vibration, which might indicate a loose blade clamp or worn jigsaw components.

Confirm the correct TPI (Teeth Per Inch) is being used for the material thickness. Reduce cutting speed slightly and ensure consistent pressure. Clean the blade and workpiece of debris during cutting.
