CMT JS1225VF-5 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Metal - BIM 12" x 10-14 TPI (5-Piece Pack) are precision-engineered bi-metal sabre saw blades built for cutting medium-thick to thick sheet metal, thin-walled to thick-walled pipes, and structural profiles. With a variable 10-14 TPI tooth pattern and full 12-inch length, these blades deliver controlled, efficient cutting through metal stock ranging from 2mm to 10mm (5/64" to 3/8") thick - making them a reliable choice for metal fabrication, mechanical work, and demanding demo cuts involving metal pipe and tubing.

Key Features

• Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring-steel body combine hardness and flexibility, so the blade resists tooth breakage and lasts significantly longer than carbon-steel alternatives when cutting metal.
• Variable 10-14 TPI Tooth Pattern (1.8-2.6mm tooth distance) - the progressive tooth spacing reduces vibration and chattering during the cut, resulting in smoother, cleaner results through varying metal thicknesses without blade stalling.
• 12-Inch Total Length with 11-Inch Cutting Height - the extended reach allows access to deep cuts and thick-section workpieces, giving the user more usable cutting surface per blade and reducing the need to reposition the saw.
• Designed for Metal from 5/64" to 3/8" Thickness - the TPI range is specifically matched to medium-thick and thick sheet metal, thin to thick-walled pipes, and profiles, so you get the right tooth geometry for the material rather than forcing an undersized or oversized blade.
• 0.049-Inch Blade Thickness - this precision tooth thickness provides rigidity through metal cuts while maintaining the blade flexibility needed to handle curved or irregular metal surfaces without binding.
• 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades in one pack means consistent performance across extended jobs or multiple users without mid-project downtime waiting for replacement blades.

Why This Product

• The 10-14 variable TPI design handles a wide range of metal wall thicknesses - from thin-walled tubing to 3/8-inch solid sheet metal - making this a versatile single blade choice for mixed metal cutting tasks rather than needing multiple blade types on the same job.
• At 12 inches in total length with an 11-inch cutting height, these blades reach further into material than shorter standard blades, which is a practical advantage when cutting pipes and profiles where full-depth access is critical.
• BIM construction pairs the cutting hardness needed to work through metal with the body flexibility that prevents blade snapping under load - a direct advantage in reciprocating saw applications where the blade flex during operation is unavoidable.
• The 5-piece format reduces per-blade cost compared to single-blade purchases and ensures you have spares on hand for extended cutting sessions or large metal fabrication projects without interruption.
