This guide is for DIYers and professionals needing to cut metal with a jigsaw. The Irwin Jigsaw Metal Cutting Blades offer fast, clean cuts in thin to thick metal and non-ferrous materials, ensuring extended blade life thanks to their HSS construction. A caveat is that they are specifically designed for metal and may not perform optimally on other materials.

These blades are designed for cutting metal, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. They are suitable for thin and thick metal up to 1mm.
These blades have a T-shank, making them compatible with most modern jigsaws that accept T-shank blades, including popular brands like AEG, Bosch, DEWALT, and Hitachi.
No, these blades are specifically designed for metal. Using them on wood will result in poor performance, inefficient cutting, and rapid dulling of the blade.
TPI stands for 'Teeth Per Inch'. A 36 TPI blade has 36 teeth per inch, indicating a finer blade suitable for making smoother, more precise cuts in metal.
Wipe the blades clean of any metal dust or debris with a dry cloth. Store them in a dry environment to prevent rust or corrosion.
HSS (High-Speed Steel) provides durability, while milled teeth ensure longer blade life and faster, more efficient cuts in metal.
Blade lifespan varies greatly depending on the material being cut, cutting technique, and proper usage. However, the HSS construction and milled teeth are designed for extended life when used appropriately on metal.
Ensure the blade is correctly installed and not overtightened. Reduce cutting speed and avoid excessive pressure. Check if the material being cut is too thick for the blade's specification.
Verify that the correct blade for metal is being used. Clean any debris from the blade and the material. Ensure the jigsaw's speed setting is appropriate for metal cutting. Check for blade dullness; replace if necessary.
Ensure the material is properly supported and clamped. Use a guide if necessary. Do not force the blade; let the saw do the work. Check for blade damage or excessive vibration from the jigsaw.
Setup: Insert the T-shank blade firmly into the jigsaw's blade clamp, ensuring it is securely seated. Consult your jigsaw's manual for specific blade installation instructions.
Compatibility: These blades feature a T-shank design, making them compatible with jigsaws from brands such as AEG, Bosch, DEWALT, and Hitachi that accept T-shank blades. They are specifically designed for cutting metal, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.
Care: After use, clean any metal dust or debris from the blades. Store blades in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid using these blades on wood, plastic, or abrasive materials, as this will significantly reduce their lifespan and performance.
