Reverse cut blades can be a lifesaver for work with laminates having brittle surfaces subject to chipping. Some other blades for a jigsaw include: While virtually all jigsaw blades are designed to cut on the upstroke, there are exceptions, and these exceptions are the blades to choose when you want the cleanest possible cut into laminates.

So, what do you need to consider when selecting a blade type?

From the name bi-metal, you may guess that two types of metals are used in this jigsaw blade. Yes, you are right. Both carbon steel and high-speed steel teeth are used to develop the blade, allowing you to enjoy the advantages of both types of metal blades. The upstroke produces a force pushing the saw base into the workpiece. As a result, the saw is easy to control. High carbon steel blades are more durable they are made with HCS since carbon is the hardest element. The amazing part of using the HSC blade is its flexible nature. Because of the strength and harness nature of HCS, they are perfect for edge retention. Let’s look into what that means and see if this blade type is right for your project: Table of Contents

HSC blades are inexpensive, allowing you to buy in bulk for your household or other DIY purposes. However, HSC blades are also less durable than HSS. Because of the absence of chromium, the jigsaw made with HSC has poor rust resistance ability. Bi-metal Length of a best jigsaw blades cutting edge is showed by the length of the body that has teeth however, It excludes the upper shank that fits inside the sharp edge holder — the example below shows a 75 mm cutting edge.All the Jigsaw overalls used (Corded or cordless jigsaw) have the same type of blades. Among the four fundamental types of blade materials, select the right one according to your cutting materials (task): The jigsaw blade cuts by moving up and down. With the normal blade, the saw cuts on the upstroke. With a reverse cut blade, the cut is made on the downstroke. This leads to less tear-out, chipping, and splintering on the visible surface of the wood. However, the saw will be harder to control with a reverse cut blade. So there you have it! A reverse cut jigsaw blade is a blade with teeth that cut on the downstroke, creating less tear-out and splintering than a regular jigsaw blade. For more information, see another article I wrote called: What is a Jigsaw?

But when using a reversed tooth – or down-cutting – blade, turn off pendulum action otherwise the cut will be painfully slow, your jigsaw almost being at a standstill as you try to cut through the material. It’s called down-cut or reverses tooth blades. We need the reverses tooth blade to cut some different materials or some exclusive designs. What is Blade's length?We classified the blades according to their shanks, and these shanks are only compatible with particular types of jigsaws. Some models are consistent with multiple shank types. However, most of the standard ones only accept a particular one. For your conscience, TPI or teeth per inch is essential for an extreme performance, which is the number of “teeth” of your blades. The higher TPI offers higher perfection and smooth cut. The U-shank – U-shank blades are the traditional type of blade used by older jigsaws, and they require a set screw to attach them to your saw. This makes them inconvenient because you have to use an Allen wrench or another tool like that to install and remove them from your saw. One of the most important things to consider is the number of blade teeth per inch. Most woodcutting blades have 12 teeth per inch, while metal-cutting blades may have up to 36. Generally, the fewer the teeth, the faster the blade will cut. However, blades with fewer teeth also mean a rougher cut. The U-shank Jigsaw blades are the oldest one. The type of blades requires extra tools to change blades. As a result, more time is wasted on your work ‍, and the user gets irritated.

They come in both u-shank and t-shank varieties. I wrote another article about t-shank and u-shank blades. This is a popular blade often referred to as a worktop blade. It’s ideal for cutting out sink openings, for example, in worktops. It gives a very clean edged cut on the decorative side of the laminated material. Most manufacturers are now using T-shank blades as a standard, which makes it easier to switchblades between different machines. T-shank jigsaw blades come with a tang at the top of their shank that fits into the blade clamp of the jigsaw. The Flush cutting feature has been introduced to very few jigsaws, it allows you to slice up a vertical surface.

It’s a great option for those who want to achieve a clean, smooth cut without any chipping or splintering on the visible surface of the wood. However, this comes at the cost of more effort and control with your saw. Finish – Will the cut material be visible or hidden? This will dictate whether you need a finer tooth blade for a clean smooth finish or a coarser rough-cut blade, which enables faster cutting. You need to know a few basic facts before selecting the proper blade. What type of material do you plan to cut? Is it wood, metal, plastic, laminate, ceramic, or fiberglass? What type of cuts will you be making tight cuts, rough cuts, or a combination?
