FAQs
What materials can this blade cut?
This bi-metal blade is suitable for cutting wood (including wood with nails), metal (pipes, profiles), and plastics. Its 6.4 TPI is a good general-purpose count for these materials.
Is this blade suitable for fine finish work?
While versatile, the 6.4 TPI is geared more towards demolition and general cutting. For very fine finish cuts, a blade with a higher TPI might be more appropriate.
How long will this blade last?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on the material being cut, the saw used, and cutting technique. The bi-metal construction enhances durability compared to standard steel blades.
Can I use this blade with my corded reciprocating saw?
Yes, this blade features a universal shank and is compatible with most corded reciprocating saws that accept standard blade types.
How do I ensure I'm using the blade correctly?
Always ensure the blade is securely clamped, use appropriate speed settings on your saw (if available), let the saw do the work without excessive force, and match the blade to the material.
What does 'Bi-Metal' mean for this blade?
Bi-Metal construction means the blade is made from two types of metal: a flexible steel body and a harder, high-speed steel cutting edge. This combination provides durability and heat resistance.
Where is the best place to store the blade when not in use?
Store the blade in a clean, dry environment. A blade case or its original packaging can help protect it from rust and damage.
Troubleshooting
Blade vibrates excessively during use.
Ensure the blade is securely clamped in the saw. Check for any damage to the blade or saw arbor. Use a blade suitable for the material being cut to reduce vibration.
Blade cuts slowly or inefficiently.
The blade may be dull or inappropriate for the material. Ensure the teeth are sharp and that the TPI count matches the material density. Clean debris from the blade teeth.
Blade breaks during operation.
Avoid forcing the blade through the material. Ensure the correct blade type is used for the material. Check for binding in the cut and ensure the saw is operating within its intended parameters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Insert the blade firmly into the reciprocating saw's blade clamp until it locks into place. Ensure the saw is unplugged or the battery is removed before installing or removing the blade.
