No, this blade is specifically designed for wood cutting applications and is not suitable for metal.

This pack includes 5 Makita P-04999 reciprocating saw blades.

It is ideal for cutting pallets, green wood, and shuttering, offering very quick cuts in these materials.

No, the coarse 4 TPI teeth are optimized for speed and aggressive cutting, resulting in a rougher finish suitable for demolition or construction rather than fine joinery.

Ensure the blade is correctly installed with teeth facing the direction of the cut. Check if the blade is dull or damaged and replace if necessary. Verify that the saw's speed setting is appropriate for the material.

Confirm the blade is securely tightened in the saw's clamp. Ensure the saw itself is in good working order. Reduce the saw's speed setting if cutting very hard materials.

This can occur if the blade is under excessive stress, bent too far, or if the saw is being forced. Ensure you are making controlled cuts and not twisting the blade. Check for hidden obstructions in the material being cut.
