Product Description
CMT JS1531L-5 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood are 9-1/2 inch High-Carbon Steel (HCS) blades engineered for fast, aggressive cutting of coarse lumber, green wood, pruning stock, and firewood. With a 5 TPI tooth configuration and 8-1/2 inch cutting length, these sabre saw blades power through thick, nail-free wood up to 7-1/2 inches in thickness - making short work of demanding outdoor cutting tasks where blade speed and chip clearance matter most. Sold as a 5-piece pack for extended use on the job site or in the field.
Key Features
- High-Carbon Steel (HCS) construction - delivers fast, aggressive cutting action through coarse, nail-free wood and green pruning material without sacrificing blade flexibility under load
- 5 TPI coarse tooth geometry - wide tooth spacing at 5mm between teeth accelerates chip evacuation and reduces binding in thick or green wood, keeping cuts moving quickly
- 8-1/2 inch cutting length on a 9-1/2 inch blade - generous usable cutting depth handles lumber and pruning stock up to 7-1/2 inches thick in a single pass
- 0.059 inch blade thickness - provides the right balance of rigidity for straight cuts and flexibility to reduce blade fatigue during extended reciprocating saw use
- Optimized for coarse, nail-free wood and green wood - blade geometry is purpose-matched to pruning large-diameter green wood, firewood, and rough lumber where a coarser cut is acceptable and cutting speed is the priority
- 5-piece pack quantity - multiple blades on hand reduce downtime during heavy-use cutting sessions, pruning operations, or firewood processing
Why This Product
- When cutting firewood, pruning green branches, or ripping through coarse dimensional lumber, a 5 TPI HCS blade at this length handles material up to 7-1/2 inches thick - a range that covers the vast majority of outdoor wood cutting tasks with a reciprocating saw
- The 5mm tooth distance promotes aggressive chip clearance in wet or fibrous green wood, where finer blades tend to clog and overheat - keeping cuts cleaner and the blade cooler during pruning work
- Buying a 5-piece set means you have replacement blades ready when one reaches the end of its service life, avoiding delays during active pruning seasons or demolition cuts in thick nail-free lumber
- At 9-1/2 inches total length with an 8-1/2 inch cutting length, these blades reach deeper into material than shorter alternatives, reducing the need to reposition or make multiple passes on thicker stock

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these blades cut wood that contains nails or embedded metal?
No. These HCS blades are designed specifically for coarse wood that is free of nails. Cutting into nails or embedded hardware will damage the teeth. For wood with embedded metal, a bi-metal (BIM) reciprocating saw blade is the appropriate choice.
What is the maximum material thickness these blades can handle?
These blades are rated for material less than 7-1/2 inches in thickness or diameter. The 8-1/2 inch cutting length and 19mm cutting depth accommodate thick lumber, firewood, and large-diameter green pruning branches within that range.
Why is a 5 TPI blade recommended for green wood and firewood rather than a finer-tooth blade?
The 5 TPI coarse tooth geometry with 5mm tooth distance allows large chips and wet wood fibers to clear the cut efficiently. Finer-tooth blades tend to load up with debris in wet or fibrous green wood, slowing the cut and generating excess heat. The coarse configuration keeps cuts fast and reduces blade fatigue in these demanding materials.
Are these blades sold individually or only as a set?
These blades are sold as a 5-piece pack, as indicated by the "-5" suffix in the model number JS1531L-5. Each pack contains 5 identical HCS reciprocating saw blades at 9-1/2 inches total length and 5 TPI.
