Product Description
CMT JS725VFR-5 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood and Metal are 8-inch bi-metal (BIM) sabre saw blades engineered specifically for pallet repair work and cutting through construction lumber containing embedded nails. With a progressive 8-12 TPI tooth configuration and a total cutting depth of 150mm (6 inches), these blades handle demanding demolition and salvage tasks where conventional blades struggle. Sold as a 5-piece set, the JS725VFR-5 gives trade professionals and serious DIYers the quantity they need to stay productive on the job.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel back, delivering wear resistance and long cutting life even when slicing through wood with embedded nails or mixed wood-and-metal materials.
- Progressive 8-12 TPI Tooth Pattern - the variable tooth pitch reduces vibration and blade chatter during cutting, giving users greater control and smoother results across a range of material thicknesses.
- 2.1-3.2mm Tooth Distance - this tooth spacing is optimized for pallet repair and demolition applications, clearing chips efficiently so the blade does not bind or overheat mid-cut.
- 150mm (6-inch) Cutting Depth - accommodates materials up to 6 inches thick, making these blades suitable for full-width pallet board cuts and heavy construction framing stock.
- 8-Inch Total Blade Length - provides a generous reach into deep cuts and tight structural spaces without repositioning the saw repeatedly.
- 0.049-Inch Blade Thickness - a precision-gauged body that maintains rigidity under load while still allowing the flexibility needed to follow the workpiece without buckling.
- 7-Inch Cutting Height - the usable cutting stroke length maximizes efficiency on each forward pass, reducing the number of strokes needed to complete a cut.
- 5-Piece Pack Quantity - stocking multiple blades at once reduces downtime on high-volume pallet repair or deconstruction projects where individual blades are consumed quickly.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically as a pallet repair blade, the JS725VFR-5 addresses the unique challenge of cutting through aged wood that may contain staples, screws, or nails - applications where a general-purpose blade would dull or snap prematurely.
- The BIM construction pairs hardened teeth against tough materials while keeping the body flexible enough to withstand the lateral stresses common in demolition and salvage sawing.
- A progressive 8-12 TPI configuration means the same blade transitions efficiently between rougher initial entry cuts and cleaner finish strokes, reducing the need to swap blades mid-task.
- The 5-piece pack format is a practical match for professional repair shops, pallet yards, or construction crews who cycle through blades regularly and benefit from having a ready supply on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the JS725VFR-5 different from a standard wood reciprocating saw blade?
The JS725VFR-5 is a special-purpose pallet repair blade. Its BIM construction and 8-12 progressive TPI tooth design are optimized for cutting through wood that contains nails, staples, or other embedded metal fasteners - conditions that would quickly damage or destroy a standard wood-only blade.
How thick of a material can these blades cut through?
These blades have a maximum cutting thickness of 6 inches and a cutting depth of 150mm (19mm cutting depth as specified). The 7-inch cutting height provides ample usable stroke for full-width cuts on standard pallet boards and heavy framing lumber.
What does the progressive 8-12 TPI tooth pattern mean in practice?
A progressive TPI means the tooth spacing varies along the blade length - alternating between 8 TPI and 12 TPI zones. This variation reduces vibration during cutting and allows the blade to move efficiently through different densities of material, resulting in smoother, more controlled cuts compared to a fixed single-TPI blade.
How many blades come in this package?
The JS725VFR-5 is sold as a 5-piece set. Each pack contains 5 identical 8-inch BIM reciprocating saw blades, making it well suited for extended pallet repair sessions or job sites where blade replacement is frequent.
