Jigsaw Blades for Wood
Wood cutting blades are designed for fast cutting in softwood, hardwood, plywood and MDF. Coarser teeth remove material quickly, while finer teeth produce smoother finishes when cutting boards, laminate and sheet materials.
- Timber and softwood cutting
- Plywood and MDF panels
- Laminate flooring and worktops
- General DIY and shaping work
Jigsaw Blades for Metal
Metal cutting jigsaw blades use finer teeth and stronger materials to cut aluminium, steel and thin sheet metal. These blades provide controlled cutting and improved durability when working with harder materials.
- Sheet metal and panels
- Aluminium profiles
- Light fabrication work
- Thin steel cutting
Jigsaw Blades for Plastic & Laminates
Fine-tooth blades are ideal for cutting plastics such as PVC, acrylic and composite panels. These reduce chipping and help produce cleaner edges when working with delicate materials.
T-Shank Jigsaw Blades (Most Common Type)
Most modern jigsaws use T-shank blades, which provide a secure and quick-fit connection. T-shank designs are widely compatible with leading brands and are the most common choice for both DIY and professional users.
Blade Materials Explained
- HCS (High Carbon Steel): flexible blades ideal for wood and plastics
- HSS (High Speed Steel): suitable for cutting metal
- Bi-metal: combines strength and flexibility for mixed materials
- Carbide: longer-lasting blades for tougher applications
Choosing the Right Blade
- Wood: coarse teeth for fast cuts, fine teeth for clean finishes
- Metal: fine-tooth blades for controlled cutting
- Plastic: fine teeth to reduce melting and chipping
- Curved cuts: narrow blades for tighter control
Prepare Your Cut
For internal cuts in wood or panels, drill a starter hole before inserting the blade. This improves accuracy and helps avoid splitting.
