FAQs
What types of materials can I cut with this set?
This set includes blades suitable for cutting wood, plastic, PVC, and metal. Specific blades are optimized for each material type.
How do I know which blade to use?
The blades are colour-coded for easy identification. Refer to the product packaging or descriptions for guidance on which colour corresponds to which material and TPI.
Are these blades suitable for all jigsaws?
These blades are designed to be compatible with most standard jigsaws that accept T-shank blades. It is always recommended to check your jigsaw's manual for confirmation.
What does TPI mean on a jigsaw blade?
TPI stands for 'Teeth Per Inch'. A higher TPI (more teeth per inch) generally results in a smoother, finer cut, typically used for thinner materials or metals. A lower TPI (fewer teeth per inch) cuts faster and is better suited for thicker materials like wood.
How should I store the blades?
It is best to store the blades in their original packaging or a dedicated blade organizer to protect them from damage and prevent rust. Keep them in a dry place.
Can I use the wood blades for metal?
No, you should not use wood blades for metal. Use the specially designed cobalt steel blades for metal cutting to achieve clean cuts and prevent damage to the blades and your saw.
Troubleshooting
Blade breaks during use
Ensure you are using the correct blade type and TPI for the material. Avoid forcing the blade; let the saw do the work. Check that the jigsaw's blade guide is properly aligned and adjusted.
Rough or uneven cuts
Verify that the correct blade is being used for the material. Ensure the blade is sharp and not worn out. Check that the jigsaw is set to an appropriate speed setting, and that the blade is securely installed.
Blade not fitting into jigsaw
Confirm that your jigsaw accepts T-shank blades. Ensure the blade is fully inserted into the clamp and that the clamp is properly tightened. Check for any debris in the jigsaw's blade clamp.
