Types of Jigsaw Blades We Stock
Choosing the correct jigsaw tool blade goes beyond just the tooth count. You also need to consider:
- Shank type (T‑shank vs. U‑shank) for tool compatibility
- Blade material (HCS, HSS, Bi‑Metal, Tungsten Carbide, Diamond Grit)
- Tooth pitch (TPI) for speed vs. finish
- Specialty profiles like reverse‑cut or curve‑cut
Shank Types
Most modern jigsaws use T‑shank blades for tool‑free, secure fitting—and that’s what we primarily stock. They’re the industry standard for professional jigsaws and provide a tight fit and longer life. If you have an older tool, we also carry a selection of U‑shank blades.
Blade Materials & Their Uses
- High‑Carbon Steel (HCS): Flexible and cost‑effective for softwoods, plastics, and laminates. Ideal for general woodwork and curves.
- High‑Speed Steel (HSS): Hardened for cutting non‑ferrous metals and tougher plastics. Slower but more durable than HCS.
- Bi‑Metal (BIM): Combines HSS teeth with an HCS body for flexibility and toughness. Great all‑rounder for mixed materials, including occasional metal cutting.
- Tungsten Carbide & Diamond‑Grit: Specialty blades for ceramics, tile, fiberglass, and very abrasive materials—offering the longest life on tough applications.
Tooth Pitch & Cutting Performance
The teeth per inch (TPI) determines speed versus smoothness:
- Low TPI (6–10): Fast, aggressive cuts in wood and plastics—great for rough work and thick materials.
- Medium TPI (12–20): Versatile balance for wood, plastic, and light metal cutting, like aluminium sheets or conduit.
- High TPI (20+): Precision cuts in thin metal, laminates, and fine woodworking tasks.
Always aim to have 2–3 teeth in contact with the material for optimal cutting speed and finish.
Specialty Blade Profiles
- Reverse‑Cut Blades: Teeth face downwards to minimise tear‑out on decorative surfaces, such as worktops or veneered panels.
- Curve‑Cut Blades: Narrower depth for tight radii and intricate shapes—perfect for scroll work and detail cuts.
- Extra Thick Blades: Stiffer plates resist bending when cutting dense hardwoods or thick timber blocks.
Material‑Specific Selection Guide
Here’s a quick reference for your most common jigsaw tasks:
- Softwood & General Woodwork: HCS blade, 6–12 TPI, standard width for smooth curves and fast sawing.
- Hardwood & Fine Joinery: HCS or Bi‑Metal, 12–20 TPI for cleaner edges, minimal chipping.
- Plastics & Laminates: Bi‑Metal or HSS, medium TPI (10–14) to prevent melting and tear‑out.
- Steel & Non‑Ferrous Metals: HSS or Bi‑Metal, high TPI (20–24) with lubricant and low speed to reduce heat.
- Ceramics & Tile: Tungsten Carbide or Diamond‑Grit down‑cut blades, with water cooling for best results.

Care & Best Practices
- Blade Cooling & Lubrication: Especially important when cutting metal—use cutting oil to extend blade life and prevent overheating.
- Maintain Correct Speed: Slower speeds for high TPI blades in metal; full speed for lower TPI in wood.
- Replace Dull Blades Promptly: A worn blade increases tear‑out, wanders off line, and strains your tool.
- Store Safely: Keep blades in labelled cases or racks by type and TPI to avoid confusion on the job.
