Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of metal can these blades cut?

These blades are designed for cutting a variety of metals, including sheet metal, steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. The 24 TPI is particularly effective for medium thickness metals.

How long do these blades typically last?

Starrett's Unique™ blades typically last 25% longer than directly competing products due to their advanced construction and increased weld contact area.

Will these blades fit my cordless jigsaw?

Yes, the Unified Shank™ is designed to fit virtually all jigsaw machines, including most cordless models.

What is the difference between a wavy set and a gulleted set blade?

A wavy set blade has teeth that are bent alternately left and right, providing a smoother cut and preventing binding, especially in thinner metals. A gulleted set has a rounded or angled space between teeth for faster material removal.

How do I ensure the longest life from these blades?

Use the correct blade for the material and thickness, avoid forcing the blade, let the saw maintain a steady speed, and ensure the blade is properly tensioned and guided.

Can I use these blades for cutting wood?

While technically possible, these blades are optimized for metal. Using them on wood will result in a rough cut and may dull the teeth faster. It is recommended to use a blade specifically designed for wood for best results.

Troubleshooting

Blade breaks prematurely

Ensure the blade is correctly installed and not overtightened in the clamp. Avoid excessive pressure or bending the blade during cuts. Verify you are using the correct blade for the material thickness.

Blade wanders off the cut line

Check that the blade is properly seated and the jigsaw's guide roller is set correctly. Ensure the material is stable and supported. For very fine cuts, consider a blade with a higher TPI if available for the specific material.

Slow cutting speed

Confirm the blade is appropriate for the material being cut. Ensure the TPI count is suitable for the metal's thickness. Clean any debris from the blade's teeth, as buildup can impede cutting.
