Product Information

The Flush cutting feature has been introduced to very few jigsaws, it allows you to slice up a vertical surface. The jigsaw is a very flexible and versatile tool. However, the blades do break on occasion and need to be replaced. It’s clear that many different types are available for sale. One type that caught my attention is the “reverse cut” blade. I wasn’t sure what that type did, so I did a little research. This is what I found out: Reverse cut jigsaw blades are available at many hardware stores and online retailers. They come in both u-shank and t-shank varieties. I wrote another article about t-shank and u-shank blades. One of the most important things to consider is the number of blade teeth per inch. Most woodcutting blades have 12 teeth per inch, while metal-cutting blades may have up to 36. Generally, the fewer the teeth, the faster the blade will cut. However, blades with fewer teeth also mean a rougher cut.

The Bosch T101BR jigsaw blade is an ideal choice for cutting laminate materials. The blade cuts on the down stroke, not on the upstroke, the “R” in the product code referring to its “reversed” teeth. High carbon steel blades are more durable they are made with HCS since carbon is the hardest element. The amazing part of using the HSC blade is its flexible nature. Because of the strength and harness nature of HCS, they are perfect for edge retention. From the name bi-metal, you may guess that two types of metals are used in this jigsaw blade. Yes, you are right. Both carbon steel and high-speed steel teeth are used to develop the blade, allowing you to enjoy the advantages of both types of metal blades. You need to know a few basic facts before selecting the proper blade. What type of material do you plan to cut? Is it wood, metal, plastic, laminate, ceramic, or fiberglass? What type of cuts will you be making tight cuts, rough cuts, or a combination?It’s called down-cut or reverses tooth blades. We need the reverses tooth blade to cut some different materials or some exclusive designs. What is Blade's length?

From the name, you may guess the efficient cutting of these blades. Though these blades will give you a smart finishing, the blades are prone to damage from the heat. High carbon steel (HCS) Most manufacturers are now using T-shank blades as a standard, which makes it easier to switchblades between different machines. T-shank jigsaw blades come with a tang at the top of their shank that fits into the blade clamp of the jigsaw. This is a popular blade often referred to as a worktop blade. It’s ideal for cutting out sink openings, for example, in worktops. It gives a very clean edged cut on the decorative side of the laminated material. The upstroke produces a force pushing the saw base into the workpiece. As a result, the saw is easy to control. The U-shank Jigsaw blades are the oldest one. The type of blades requires extra tools to change blades. As a result, more time is wasted on your work ‍, and the user gets irritated.But when using a reversed tooth – or down-cutting – blade, turn off pendulum action otherwise the cut will be painfully slow, your jigsaw almost being at a standstill as you try to cut through the material.
