The Dewalt DT2160-QZ HSS jigsaw blades are designed for metalworkers and contractors who require precise, straight cuts in thin ferrous and non-ferrous metals like steel sheet and aluminium. These blades provide excellent durability due to their high-speed steel construction, making them a reliable choice for metal fabrication tasks; however, they are strictly optimized for thin materials between 1.5mm and 4mm thick and are not intended for thicker stock.

No, these blades are specifically engineered for thin metal applications. Using them on wood will result in very slow, inefficient cutting and potential clogging.
These blades are optimized for material thicknesses between 1.5mm and 4mm.
Yes, they feature a standard T-shank connection, which is compatible with all modern T-shank jigsaw models.
It is recommended to turn the orbital action off (set to 0) when cutting metal to ensure stability and accuracy.
While not strictly required for every cut, using a cutting lubricant will significantly extend blade life and provide a cleaner finish on steel.
Ensure the shoe of the jigsaw is held firmly against the material surface and check that the orbital action is set to 0.
Reduce the jigsaw stroke speed and ensure the base plate is flush with the metal; adding a small amount of cutting fluid can also improve edge quality.
Decrease your cutting speed and apply a cutting lubricant to dissipate heat more effectively.
Installing these blades is straightforward thanks to the T-shank interface; simply insert the shank into the jigsaw blade clamp until it clicks or is secured by the tool-free mechanism.
