Whether you're a carpenter crafting intricate curves, an electrician cutting conduit channels, or a DIY enthusiast working on home improvements, our expanding range of jigsaw tool blades is built around performance, versatility, and durability. From high‑carbon steel blades for wood to bi‑metal and carbide options for metal and ceramics, we have the blade you need for every material and task.

All our jigsaw tool blades are stocked in the UK and ready for fast dispatch—no overseas dropshipping, no hidden delays. You benefit from predictable delivery times, local support, and genuine stock availability. That means you can plan your projects with confidence and minimise downtime when you need blade changes most.

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.

Trusted Brands & UK Stock

We partner with leading manufacturers whose blades are proven in the UK market:

• Bosch: Colour‑coded sets for wood, metal, and multi‑material cutting, with both T‑shank and U‑shank options.
• Milwaukee: Multi‑material BIM blades optimised for clean, fast cutting in both wood and metal.
• Maxitek & Lenox: Premium German‑made BIM and carbide blades for professional users cutting wood, metal, and ceramics.

Every blade is warehoused in the UK for genuine next‑day dispatch. If it’s featured here, it’s in stock—no guessing, just fast delivery.

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.
