MILWAUKEE T-SHANK BI-METAL JIGSAW BLADE - 5-1/4" 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 5-1/4" length is the long-reach metal blade -- the extra cutting depth gets through thicker stock, larger-diameter pipe, and stacked plate in a single pass, and the 14 TPI tooth count is the thick-metal count: larger, more aggressive teeth chip through 1/4"-plus material faster than a high-TPI blade can.
- 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)
- 5-1/4" cutting length for deep cuts in thick plate, large pipe, and stacked stock
- T-shank fits Milwaukee, Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, and most modern jigsaws
- For metal tubing, plate, pipe, and structural steel up to roughly 1" thick
- 5 blades per pack
Application Tip: Use medium-to-low speed and firm steady feed pressure on thick metal. For deep cuts, let the blade do the work -- pushing harder on a long blade flexes it and walks the cut off line. 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 5-1/4" blade when the 3" can't reach all the way through the stock in one pass. For thinner material, the 3" blade is stiffer and produces a straighter cut.
