Jigsaw Blades
A jigsaw blade is a narrow, straight cutting blade designed for use with a jigsaw. The blade moves rapidly up and down, allowing it to cut materials such as timber, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminate, plastic, metal, aluminium, stainless steel and some ceramic tiles, depending on the blade type and jigsaw being used.
Jigsaw blades are widely used by woodworkers, joiners, carpenters, kitchen fitters and DIYers for plunge cuts, bevel cuts and straight, curved or shaped cuts.
When selecting a jigsaw blade, fine-toothed blades are usually better for cleaner cuts and thinner materials, while coarse-toothed blades cut faster and are better suited to thicker timber or rougher work. Always choose a blade with the correct fitting, normally a T-shank or U-shank, for the jigsaw.
