Product Description
CMT JS725VFR Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood and Metal - 20-Piece Pack by CMT are 8-inch bi-metal (BIM) sabre saw blades engineered specifically for pallet repair work and cutting through wood embedded with nails or metal fasteners. With a progressive 8-12 TPI tooth pattern, these blades transition smoothly between aggressive stock removal and cleaner finishing cuts, making them a practical choice for contractors, pallet recyclers, and construction crews who need a dependable blade that handles mixed-material cutting without switching tools.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel back, delivering wear resistance against nail-embedded wood and metal while resisting breakage during demanding angle cuts.
- Progressive 8-12 TPI Tooth Pattern - variable tooth spacing across the blade balances cutting speed and control, reducing vibration and improving cut quality whether working through soft wood or encountering metal fasteners mid-cut.
- 8-Inch Total Length with 7-Inch Cutting Length - the extended reach gives users access to deep, thick stock and tight pallet joint areas that shorter blades cannot reach effectively.
- Up to 6-Inch Maximum Cutting Thickness - handles pallet stringers, doubled-up lumber, and thick construction members in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple setups or repositioning.
- 2.1-3.2mm Variable Tooth Distance - the graduated tooth spacing promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces clogging when cutting green, wet, or resinous pallet wood at sustained production rates.
- 0.049-Inch Blade Thickness - thin kerf profile minimizes material waste and reduces the effort required to push the saw through dense wood-and-nail combinations, extending both blade and tool life.
- 20-Piece Value Pack - supplying an entire job site or pallet repair operation with a single order, the 20-piece quantity reduces per-blade cost and ensures a consistent blade on hand throughout the work cycle.
Why This Product
- Designed as a special-purpose blade for pallet repair, the JS725VFR addresses the specific challenge of cutting through nailed pallet boards without prematurely dulling or snapping - a common failure point with general-purpose reciprocating blades.
- The 150mm (6-inch) cutting depth capacity means users can work through the full thickness of standard pallet construction in a single stroke, improving throughput for pallet refurbishment operations.
- The BIM material combination gives the blade the hardness needed to bite through embedded nails while retaining enough flexibility to survive the flexing and lateral stress that pallet repair cuts routinely impose.
- Ordering 20 blades at once in a matched specification ensures consistent cutting performance across an entire crew or shift, avoiding the variation in cut behavior that comes from mixing different blade types or TPI ratings on the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the JS725VFR different from a standard reciprocating saw blade?
The JS725VFR is specifically engineered for pallet repair, with a variable 8-12 TPI progressive tooth pattern and BIM bi-metal construction designed to cut through nail-embedded wood and mixed wood-metal material without premature wear or blade breakage. It is not a general-purpose blade - the tooth geometry and material are optimized for this demanding application.
What is the maximum cutting thickness this blade can handle?
According to the product specifications, this blade supports a maximum cutting thickness of 6 inches, making it suitable for standard pallet stringers and doubled construction lumber.
What does BIM mean and why does it matter for cutting pallets?
BIM stands for Bi-Metal, a construction method that bonds high-speed steel teeth onto a flexible spring-steel back. For pallet work, this combination is important because the hard steel teeth can bite through metal nails and fasteners while the flexible back resists snapping when the blade flexes under load during angled or tight-space cuts.
How many blades are included in this pack and what saw types does it fit?
This pack contains 20 reciprocating saw blades. They are designed for use with reciprocating saws (also commonly called sabre saws) that accept standard reciprocating blade shanks. The 20-piece quantity is well suited for production pallet repair environments where blade turnover is frequent.
