Product Description
CMT JT101AO-5 Jig Saw Blades for Wood and Fine Curve Cuts are precision-ground HCS blades engineered for smooth, fine-finish curved cuts in hardwood, softwood, and plywood. With a 3-inch total length and 20 teeth per inch, these blades deliver clean results on both sides of the workpiece surface - making them a reliable choice for detail work, decorative profiles, and intricate curved joinery. This pack includes 5 blades, offering lasting value for professionals and dedicated woodworkers alike.
Key Features
- High-Carbon Steel (HCS) Construction - provides the toughness and edge retention needed for consistent, fast cutting through hardwood, softwood, and engineered wood panels.
- 20 TPI Tooth Pitch (1.4mm tooth distance) - the fine 20-tooth-per-inch configuration reduces tear-out and leaves a smooth surface finish on both faces of the workpiece, minimizing sanding time after cuts.
- 3-inch total length with 2-inch cutting height - sized to handle material thickness from 1/16 to 3/4 inch, covering a wide range of common woodworking stock and sheet goods.
- Universal T-Shank design - fits all major jig saws without adapters, making blade changes fast and compatible across cordless and corded tool platforms.
- Optimized for fine curved cuts - blade geometry and tooth profile are specifically configured for detailed curved work and decorative cuts where surface quality on both sides matters.
- 5-piece pack quantity - multiple blades in a single purchase ensures you have replacements ready and keeps downtime low on longer projects.
Why This Product
- When fine surface finish on both sides of the cut is critical - such as in visible joinery, decorative curves, or double-faced plywood - the 20 TPI pitch and HCS tooth geometry of these blades reduce tear-out and deliver cleaner results than coarser general-purpose blades.
- The universal T-Shank fits all major jig saws, so there is no need to stock multiple blade types for different tools - one pack works across your cordless and corded jig saw lineup.
- With a material thickness range of 1/16 to 3/4 inch, these blades cover the most common hardwood and softwood stock thicknesses used in furniture, cabinetry, and trim work - a single blade type for a wide variety of cuts.
- Buying a 5-piece pack means you always have a fresh blade available, extending the overall service life of your supply and reducing the cost per cut over time compared to single-blade purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shank type do these jig saw blades use, and will they fit my jig saw?
These blades use a universal T-Shank, which is compatible with all major jig saw brands and models - both cordless and corded - without requiring any adapter. If your jig saw accepts T-Shank blades, these will fit.
What material thickness range can these blades handle?
The CMT JT101AO blades are rated for material thicknesses from 1/16 inch up to 3/4 inch, covering a broad range of hardwood, softwood, and plywood stock commonly used in woodworking and cabinetry projects.
Why choose a 20 TPI blade for curved cuts in wood?
A 20 TPI (teeth per inch) pitch is classified as a fine tooth configuration. The closer 1.4mm tooth spacing reduces tear-out and produces a cleaner surface finish on both faces of the workpiece - important for visible curved cuts in furniture, trim, and decorative woodwork where sanding time needs to be minimized.
Is HCS the right blade material for woodworking applications?
Yes. High-Carbon Steel (HCS) is specifically suited for cutting wood, engineered wood products like plywood, and similar materials. HCS blades offer good edge retention and cutting speed in these applications, making them a practical choice for fine curve work in hardwood and softwood up to 3/4 inch thick.
