Jigsaw blades: 8 important facts

1. In the manufacturers’ catalogues, there are tools that differ by the type of shank. There are models with T-shaped and U-shaped ones. Blades of the former type are more widely spread, those of the latter are mainly suitable for tools of specific brands.
2. In an online shop, you can buy consumables of different length. As a rule, it varies in the range of between 40 and 250 mm. The longer the device is, the larger area can be processed at a time.
3. If you need to cut through durable material, it is better to choose the thickest and widest cutting element. Such jigsaw blades allow creating a neat, straight cut. Short items are more resistant to deformation.
4. Our online shop offers tools with different tooth pitch. Most often it ranges from 1 to 4 mm. Devices with a small pitch are used when you need to make a precise cut. Teeth can have a wavy pattern or edges pointed alternately to opposite directions.
5. As a rule, steel is used for the production of these tools. Items made from chromium-vanadium steel are intended for processing wood, from high-speed tempered steel – for treating metals and from mild tool steel – wooden and plastic parts.
6. Before you start working, make sure the blade is appropriate for the processed surface and doesn’t have any defects and then to attach it securely to the jigsaw. Using damaged tools might cause injuries.
7. It is better not to apply too much force during the process. This may lead to overheating of the blade and, as a result, to its malfunction.
8. Sawing produces a lot of dust. If it gets into the eyes and breathing organs, it will cause serious harm to health. Therefore, it is necessary to use personal protective equipment: goggles and a respirator.
