Product Description
CMT JS1120CF-20 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Metal - BIM 9" x 9TPI (20-Piece Pack) are heavy-duty bi-metal sabre saw blades engineered specifically for cutting thick sheet metal, thick-walled solid pipe, and structural profiles. With a 9-inch total length and 9 TPI tooth configuration, these blades deliver aggressive, controlled cuts through metal ranging from 4mm to 12mm (5/32" to 1/2") in thickness - making them a reliable choice for metal fabrication, pipe work, and demanding demolition tasks. The 20-piece pack provides exceptional value for contractors and professionals who need consistent blade performance across extended job runs.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible backing delivers superior wear resistance and extended cutting life in tough metal applications, reducing blade replacement frequency on the job.
- 9 TPI Tooth Configuration with 2.9mm Tooth Distance - optimized spacing for cutting thick sheet metal and heavy-walled pipe, providing fast chip clearance and efficient material removal without bogging down.
- 9-Inch Total Length with 8-Inch Cutting Depth - the generous reach allows the blade to access deep cuts in solid pipe and structural profiles, giving users more flexibility in tight or awkward work positions.
- 0.063" Blade Thickness - provides the rigidity needed to maintain straight, accurate cuts through heavy metal stock while resisting deflection under load.
- Compatible with Thick Sheet Metal (5/32" to 1/2") - purpose-matched tooth geometry for the specific thickness range means the blade bites efficiently from the start without skipping or wandering.
- 20-Piece Pack - a high-count professional pack that keeps crews stocked on the job site and reduces downtime from running out of blades mid-project.
Why This Product
- Built for thick metal, not thin sheet - with a rated cutting range of 5/32" to 1/2" (4mm to 12mm), this blade is specifically designed for thick-walled pipe, solid profiles, and heavy sheet stock where an undersized blade would deflect or strip teeth.
- BIM construction means longer cutting life - the bi-metal composition combines high-speed steel tooth performance with a flexible back, so the blade resists breakage under the vibration and flex that reciprocating saw work demands.
- A 20-piece quantity reduces job-site interruptions - having 20 blades on hand means professional crews can keep cutting through long metal-cutting projects without stopping to reorder, particularly valuable on pipe work and demolition jobs.
- 9 TPI is the right tooth pitch for structural metal - too fine a pitch loads up with chips; too coarse a pitch skips on thin edges. At 9 TPI with 2.9mm tooth spacing, this blade is matched to the thick metal and pipe cutting tasks it is rated for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material thickness range can these blades cut?
These blades are rated for cutting thick sheet metal from 5/32" to 1/2" (4mm to 12mm) in thickness, as well as thick-walled solid pipe and structural profiles. They are not designed for thin sheet stock outside that range.
What does BIM mean and why does it matter for metal cutting?
BIM stands for Bi-Metal - a construction method that combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible backing body. This combination delivers the hardness needed to cut metal efficiently while resisting the blade breakage and fatigue that solid-steel blades are prone to under the constant flexing motion of a reciprocating saw.
What is the effective cutting reach of the 9-inch blade?
The total blade length is 9 inches, with an effective cutting height of 8 inches and a cutting depth of 22mm. This reach allows the blade to handle cuts in deep pipe walls and thick profiles that shorter blades cannot access fully.
Is 9 TPI the correct tooth pitch for cutting solid pipe and heavy profiles?
Yes. The 9 TPI (teeth per inch) configuration with a 2.9mm tooth distance is specifically chosen for thick-walled solid pipe and heavy structural profiles. This pitch provides efficient chip clearance in thick metal without the blade loading up, which is a common problem when a fine-pitch blade is used on heavy stock.
