Wood

Best materials and an optimized tooth geometry on Bosch wood jig saw blades offer excellent performance in both thinner and deeper wood cuts. High-carbon steel (HCS) blades offer excellent performance in wood, laminated particle board or plastics. Bosch bi-metal blades reduce breakage risk, but allow maximum cutting flexibility and versatility. Bi-metal jig saw blades offer up to 10 times’ longer life than HCS blades.

Metal

When the job requires cutting metal, Bosch jig saw blades deliver dynamic speed and longer life versus other jig saw blades. Patented Bosch tooth geometries incorporate both aggressive and reinforced teeth to increase performance. Applications for Bosch metal-cutting jig saw blades include thin- and thick-gauge metals, plus thick-wall pipes and profiles.

Plastic

Bosch jig saw blades for plastics applications deliver precision cuts in a variety of plastic and polymer materials, and without the melting issues created when conventional jig saw blades are used to cut plastics. Bosch jig saw blades match the right technology to the right materials for smooth cutting. While use of other blades for precise cuts in plastics can cause chipping and breaking, Bosch plastic-cutting blades are engineered to reduce breakage and the need for deburring. And Bosch jig saw blades for plastics allow users to get into much tighter spaces with improved control versus using a reciprocating saw for the same job.

Specialty

Bosch specialty jig saw blades are built for precision cuts in wood, hardwood and light metals. These blades apply an aggressive tooth pattern to turn out great cuts in thick, tough materials used in deck building or general construction. These are non-traditional applications where the superior control of the jig saw can offer efficiency and greater accuracy. Typical applications include straight cuts, notching and work arounds.

Side Set & Ground

Side set and ground teeth offer clean, fast cuts in wood and plastics. In the design of jig saw blade teeth, side set means teeth are designed to be offset and are used for cuts that are fast. These blades tend to have fewer teeth per inch (TPI) and are used in thicker material applications.

Wavy Set & Milled

Wavy teeth sets are used for cuts in metal, non-ferrous metal, aluminum and plastics. For wavy teeth sets in jig saw blades, teeth are aligned in a wave design and can be used for straight, fine cuts. These blades tend to have a higher teeth per inch (TPI) count and are used in thinner material applications.

Side Set & Milled

Side set and milled teeth offer fast, rough cuts in wood and plastics. Teeth that are side set are offset in design and are used for faster, rough cuts. These blades tend to have fewer teeth per inch (TPI) and are used in thicker material applications where a rough cut is acceptable.

Ground & Taper Ground

Ground and tapered ground jig saw blades offer a precise, fine and clean cut in wood.

Taper set teeth have a straight alignment and are used for slower, very fine cutting. These blades tend to have higher teeth per inch (TPI) and are used in wood applications requiring a slow, smooth cut or when cutting thinner materials.
