The Faithfull T318A Metal Cutting Jigsaw Blades are precision-engineered for trade professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts working with thin metal sheets and profiles. These blades excel at providing clean, straight cuts in non-ferrous and luminous metals, making them a versatile addition to any workshop; however, users should note that they are specifically optimized for thin materials and will struggle with heavy-duty structural steel or extremely thick sections.

These blades feature a universal T-shank, which is compatible with the vast majority of modern jigsaws.
While technically possible, these blades are specifically optimized for metal and will perform inefficiently and clog quickly when used on wood.
TPI stands for Teeth Per Inch; 21 TPI indicates a fine-tooth blade designed for smoother cuts in thin materials.
Using a light cutting lubricant or oil can help extend blade life and improve the finish when cutting certain non-ferrous metals.
Each pack contains 5 individual Faithfull T318A jigsaw blades.
The total cutting length is 110mm.
Reduce feed pressure and ensure the base plate of your jigsaw is pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Check that the blade is properly locked in the shank and ensure the jigsaw speed is set to the manufacturer's recommendation for thin metal.
Ensure the blade is sharp; if dull, replace with a new blade from the pack as fine metal cutting requires peak tooth performance.
To install, simply push the T-shank into your jigsaw blade clamp until it clicks or is secured by the tool-less mechanism. Before starting, verify the blade is fully seated to prevent vibration or wandering. Compatibility is broad, as the T-shank configuration is the industry standard for most major power tool brands. For maintenance, avoid using these blades on materials they are not rated for, such as masonry or hardened steel, as this will rapidly dull the teeth. After use, wipe away metal shavings with a dry cloth and store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature oxidation of the steel.
