MILWAUKEE T-SHANK BI-METAL JIGSAW BLADE - 3" x 14 TPI, 5-PACKMilwaukee bi-metal T-shank jigsaw blades fuse high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel body, an industry-standard construction that lasts up to 10 times longer than carbon-steel and stays straight under heavy cutting. The 3" length is the short-stroke blade for tight cuts close to a wall or in cramped work, and the 14 TPI tooth count is the thick-metal count -- larger, more aggressive teeth chip through metal tubing and stock 1/4" and thicker faster than a high-TPI blade can, without overheating or loading up.
- Bi-metal construction (HSS teeth on a spring-steel body) for long service life
- 14 TPI tooth count tuned for thicker metal stock and tubing (over 1/4" thick)
- 3" cutting length for tight, short-stroke cuts
- T-shank fits Milwaukee, Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, and most modern jigsaws
- For metal tubing, plate, pipe, and structural steel up to roughly 1/2" thick
- 5 blades per pack
Application Tip: Use medium-to-low speed and firm steady feed pressure on thick metal. For tubing, clamp the work so it cannot vibrate and start the cut on the wall closest to you. A light bead of cutting oil along the cut line keeps the teeth cool and dramatically extends blade life on plate and pipe.
Selection Tip: Pick the 14 TPI when stock is 1/4" or thicker. For thin sheet metal under 1/8", step up to a 24 TPI blade -- the higher tooth count keeps three or more teeth in the cut at all times and prevents snagging.
