Jigsaw Blades
Jigsaw blades vary in length, tooth shape and material. High TPI (teeth per inch) blades cut cleanly in metal and plastic, while lower TPI blades remove wood quickly. T shank blades fit most modern jigsaws.
What materials can jigsaw blades cut?
Jigsaw blades are designed to cut a wide variety of materials, depending on the blade type:
-
Wood and plywood (fast or fine-tooth blades)
-
Metal and aluminum (bi-metal or HSS blades)
-
Plastics, laminates, and PVC (clean-cut blades with medium teeth)
-
Ceramic tiles or glass (tungsten carbide grit blades)
The key is to match the blade material and tooth design to the job.
What’s the difference between T-shank and U-shank jigsaw blades?
-
T-shank blades are the current standard and offer tool-free, secure fitting in most modern jigsaws
-
U-shank blades were more common in older models and often require a manual tool to secure
Most modern jigsaws—including Bosch, Makita, Festool, and Hikoki—use T-shank blades for speed, safety, and stability.
How do I choose the right jigsaw blade for the job?
Key factors to consider:
-
Tooth count (TPI) –
-
Lower TPI (6–10): fast, rough wood cuts
-
Higher TPI (14–24): smoother cuts in metal or thin material
-
-
Blade length – choose longer blades for thicker materials
-
Tooth shape –
-
Reverse teeth for laminate (cuts on the downstroke to prevent chipping)
-
Ground teeth for clean, fine wood cuts
-
-
Material –
-
HCS for softwood and plastic
-
HSS or Bi-metal for harder materials
-
Carbide for tile, fiber cement, or metal
