Applications
Sabre and reciprocating saw blades are invaluable across numerous trades and applications:
- Demolition contractors - cutting through mixed materials during strip-outs and structural removal
- Plumbers and heating engineers - trimming copper, steel and plastic pipework in tight spaces
- Electricians - cutting cable trays, trunking and making access holes
- Carpenters and joiners - flush cutting, notching joists and cutting timber in situ
- Roofers - cutting battens, fascias and roof timbers
- Metal fabricators - sectioning steel profiles, angle iron and sheet metal
- Landscapers - pruning branches and cutting fencing materials
- General renovation and maintenance - versatile cutting across multiple materials
Choosing The Right Sabre & Reciprocating Saw Blades
Selecting appropriate reciprocating saw blades depends on several critical factors:
- Material type - wood-cutting blades feature aggressive tooth patterns, whilst bi-metal blades suit metal cutting and multi-material applications offer versatility
- Teeth per inch (TPI) - lower TPI (5-10) provides faster, rougher cuts in wood; higher TPI (14-24) delivers smoother cuts in metal and plastics
- Blade length - typically ranging from 150mm to 300mm, match blade length to material thickness with adequate clearance
- Blade material - high-carbon steel suits wood, bi-metal construction offers flexibility and durability for metal, whilst carbide-tipped blades tackle masonry and abrasive materials
- Shank compatibility - ensure blades match your reciprocating saw's fitment system (universal shanks fit most modern tools)
- Application-specific designs - specialist blades for nail-embedded wood, demolition work or precision cuts deliver superior results in demanding situations
Frequently Asked Questions
What TPI should I use for cutting metal?
For metal cutting, use blades with 14-24 TPI. Higher tooth counts produce smoother cuts and reduce vibration. For thicker metal sections, 14-18 TPI offers a good balance between cutting speed and finish quality.
Can reciprocating saw blades cut through nails?
Yes, bi-metal blades are designed to cut through embedded nails and screws without damage. Specialist nail-cutting blades feature reinforced tooth geometry specifically engineered for demolition work involving nail-studded timber and pallet wood.
How do I extend blade life?
Use appropriate cutting speeds, allow the blade to do the work without forcing, ensure correct blade selection for the material, and store blades in dry conditions. Regular inspection and replacing worn blades prevents damage to your reciprocating saw and maintains cutting efficiency.
