Product Description
CMT Reciprocating Saw Blades for Frozen Materials - 12" x 3 TPI (5-Piece) are purpose-built sabre saw blades engineered specifically for cutting frozen foodstuffs, ice, and dense organic materials. Constructed from high-strength INOX (stainless-type) steel, these 12-inch blades deliver fast, aggressive cuts through ice blocks, frozen meat, and bone - applications where standard reciprocating blades struggle or fail. The 3 TPI tooth configuration provides wide gullets for efficient chip and debris clearance, making these blades a reliable choice for food processing, butchering, and commercial kitchen environments where frozen material sectioning is a regular demand.
Key Features
- HS-INOX (High-Speed Stainless) Blade Material - resists corrosion and contamination when cutting wet, frozen, or food-contact materials, maintaining edge integrity through repeated use.
- 3 TPI Tooth Configuration with 8.5mm Tooth Distance - large gullets between teeth clear frozen debris quickly, preventing blade loading and enabling faster, cleaner cuts through dense frozen material.
- 12-Inch Total Length with 10-53/64" Cutting Height - extended reach allows deep sectioning cuts through large frozen blocks or whole frozen cuts of meat without repositioning.
- Maximum Material Thickness Up to 10 Inches - handles substantial frozen product depth, making these blades practical for commercial-scale frozen food processing tasks.
- 0.047-Inch Tooth Thickness - precision-ground tooth profile maintains sharpness through tough frozen material while minimizing kerf waste during sectioning.
- 19mm Cutting Depth - consistent stroke engagement throughout the cut for controlled, repeatable results on frozen workpieces.
- 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades included so you have replacements on hand for high-volume or continuous-use environments, reducing downtime.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for frozen foodstuffs and ice - unlike general-purpose reciprocating blades, these are optimized for the unique hardness and density of frozen materials, delivering fast cuts where standard blades bind or wear prematurely.
- The INOX steel construction is suited for food-adjacent environments where moisture, cold temperatures, and sanitation demands are constant factors during cutting operations.
- At 12 inches in length with a cutting height of 10-53/64", these blades handle frozen material thicknesses up to 10 inches - covering a wide range of commercial portioning and sectioning needs in a single blade format.
- The 5-piece pack format ensures continuous workflow - keeping spare blades ready prevents interruptions during high-demand frozen food processing or ice-cutting operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these blades different from standard reciprocating saw blades for wood or metal?
These blades are specifically formulated for frozen materials and foodstuffs using HS-INOX (high-speed stainless) steel rather than standard HCS or bi-metal constructions. The 3 TPI spacing and 8.5mm tooth distance are calibrated for the unique hardness and density of frozen products - ice, frozen meat, and bone - where a coarser, more aggressive tooth pattern prevents binding and keeps cuts moving efficiently.
What is the maximum thickness of frozen material these blades can cut?
These blades are rated for material thicknesses under 10 inches, with a cutting height of 10-53/64" and a total blade length of 12 inches. This makes them well-suited for sectioning large frozen cuts of meat, ice blocks, and similar dense frozen workpieces at a commercial scale.
Are these blades compatible with standard reciprocating saws?
These are sabre saw (reciprocating saw) blades intended for use in reciprocating saws. The product data identifies them as compatible with reciprocating saw applications. Refer to your tool manufacturer's documentation to confirm shank compatibility before use.
Why are 5 blades included in this pack?
Frozen material cutting is demanding on blade edges, and continuous commercial use can accelerate wear. The 5-piece pack ensures you have replacement blades on hand to maintain workflow without downtime - particularly valuable in food processing or butchering environments where blade changes may be frequent.
