FAQs

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is ideal for cutting construction wood, boards, chipboard, MDF, plywood, and plastic. It is not designed for metal.

What is the maximum cutting thickness?

The blade has a cutting capacity of up to 150.0mm in thickness.

Is this blade suitable for metal?

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

What does 'Teeth per Inch' (TPI) mean for this blade?

The TPI range of 6-10 indicates the number of teeth per inch. A lower TPI (like 6) cuts faster but leaves a rougher finish, while a higher TPI (like 10) cuts slower but provides a smoother finish. This range offers versatility for different wood types and desired results.

How does the 'Side Set & Sharpened' (SSS) tooth design benefit my cuts?

The SSS design means the teeth are angled outwards (side set) and are sharpened, which allows for a wider kerf (cut width) to prevent binding and ensures a sharper edge for faster, cleaner penetration into the material.

What is the Bosch equivalent for this blade?

This Timco blade is equivalent to the Bosch S2345X model.

Troubleshooting

Blade is cutting slowly or inefficiently.

Check if the blade is the correct type for the material. Ensure the teeth are not dull or damaged. Verify that the blade is securely locked in the saw's clamp.

Blade is binding or getting stuck during cuts.

Ensure you are making a straight cut and not twisting the blade. Check if the material is too thick for the blade's capacity or if there are hidden obstructions. Apply consistent, moderate pressure.

Blade is vibrating excessively.

Make sure the blade is properly seated in the saw's clamp. Reduce the saw's speed setting if applicable. Ensure the material being cut is securely supported.

Pros and Cons

  • Delivers fast and clean cuts in wood and plastic materials.
  • High carbon steel construction offers good strength and durability.
  • Suitable for a variety of wood-based boards like MDF, plywood, and chipboard.
  • Efficient for low heat-generating materials.

Cons

  • Not designed for cutting metal or abrasive materials.
  • May require multiple passes for very thick materials (over 150mm).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the reciprocating saw is unplugged before attaching or removing the blade. Insert the blade shank firmly into the saw's blade clamp until it clicks or locks into place. Refer to your specific saw's manual for detailed instructions on blade insertion.

Compatibility: This blade is compatible with all standard reciprocating saws that accept a universal shank blade. It is equivalent to the Bosch S2345X model.

Care: After each use, remove the blade from the saw and clean off any sawdust or debris using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect the blade for any signs of damage, such as bent teeth or cracks, before and after each use. Replace the blade if it shows significant wear or damage to ensure optimal performance and safety.
