Product Description
CMT JS1122HF Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood and Metal - 20-Piece Pack are 9-inch bi-metal (BIM) blades engineered for demanding cutting tasks where wood meets fasteners or where metal cutting is required. Designed for pallet repair, cutting lumber with embedded nails, sheet metal, pipe, and aluminum profiles, this 20-piece set gives contractors and tradespeople a reliable stock of versatile reciprocating saw blades ready for the toughest demolition and repair work on the job site.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - the combination of high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring-steel back delivers superior wear resistance when cutting through mixed materials like wood with nails, sheet metal, and pipe, significantly extending blade life compared to single-material alternatives.
- 9-Inch Cutting Length - the full 9-inch usable cutting height provides deep reach into workpieces, allowing cuts through thick sections of pallet lumber and structural wood up to just under 7 inches thick without repositioning the saw.
- 10 TPI (Teeth Per Inch) Tooth Configuration - the 10 TPI spacing with 2.5mm tooth distance strikes a practical balance between cut speed and surface quality, making it suitable for both wood demolition and metal cutting tasks in a single blade.
- 0.035-Inch Blade Thickness - this precision-controlled thickness maintains blade stability during aggressive cuts while resisting flex-induced binding in deep or curved cuts through mixed materials.
- 19mm Cutting Depth Geometry - the 19mm cutting depth spec supports positive chip clearance and efficient material removal, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life during continuous cutting sessions.
- 20-Piece Pack Value - stocking 20 blades at once means fewer interruptions on multi-phase pallet repair, demolition, or sheet metal jobs, keeping productivity high throughout the work day.
Why This Product
- For pallet repair and demolition contractors, these BIM blades handle the specific challenge of cutting wood with embedded nails and fasteners - a task that destroys standard wood-only blades quickly - making them a purpose-matched tool for that application.
- The single blade handles a wide range of job-site materials including sheet metal, aluminum profiles, and pipe, reducing the need to carry multiple blade types for mixed-material projects.
- The 20-piece pack quantity directly addresses the reality that pallet repair and demolition work consumes blades at a faster rate than finish work - having 20 on hand prevents job-site downtime from blade changeovers.
- At a maximum material thickness of just under 7 inches, these blades are dimensioned for real-world pallet lumber and structural board thicknesses, not just light-gauge material - making them genuinely useful rather than marginal for the stated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the CMT JS1122HF blades cut?
These blades are designed for wood with embedded nails or metal fasteners, sheet metal, pipe, and aluminum profiles. The BIM (bi-metal) construction makes them suitable for mixed-material cuts where a standard wood-only or metal-only blade would fail quickly.
What is the maximum material thickness these blades can handle?
The CMT JS1122HF is rated for materials less than 7 inches thick - specifically noted for wood with nails or metal with a maximum thickness of less than 175mm. The 9-inch cutting height provides the necessary blade travel to complete those cuts cleanly.
How many blades come in this pack, and is that the only available quantity?
This listing is for the 20-piece pack (MPN: JS1122HF-20), which provides a supply of 20 identical 9-inch 10 TPI BIM reciprocating saw blades - ideal for contractors handling repeated pallet repair or demolition work where blade consumption is high.
What does BIM mean, and why does it matter for cutting wood with nails?
BIM stands for bi-metal - a construction method that combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body. The high-speed steel teeth resist the hardness of nails and metal fasteners, while the flexible back absorbs the shock of impact without snapping the blade. This makes BIM the preferred construction for cutting reclaimed lumber, pallets with embedded hardware, and other mixed-material applications.
