Reciprocating saw blades come in wood cutting, metal cutting and demolition variants. Â Bi metal blades combine flexibility and durability, and specialised tooth patterns tackle plaster, pruning and abrasive materials.
What materials can reciprocating saw blades cut?
Reciprocating saw blades are highly versatile and can cut through a wide range of materials, including:
Wood and tree branches
Nails, screws, and metal pipes
PVC and plastic
Drywall, plaster, and masonry (with carbide grit blades)
Choosing the right blade allows for fast, efficient demolition and installation work.
How do I choose the right blade for my task?
Key factors to consider:
Tooth count (TPI – Teeth Per Inch):
6–10 TPI for fast wood cuts
14–24 TPI for thin metal and precise cuts
10–14 TPI for general-purpose use
Blade material:
Bi-metal for metal and wood with nails
Carbide-tipped for tough materials like stainless steel or cast iron
High carbon steel for wood
Blade length:
Short blades (100–150 mm) for control
Long blades (200–300 mm+) for deep cuts or flush trimming
Can I use the same blade for multiple materials?
While general-purpose blades exist, it's best to match the blade to the material for optimal results. Using a wood blade on metal can dull or damage it quickly, and metal blades tend to cut more slowly through wood. For demolition work, bi-metal blades offer the flexibility to handle mixed materials like wood with embedded nails.
