Key Features
- High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction - HSS material maintains edge integrity when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar materials, extending blade life through demanding cuts.
- 12 TPI Fine-Tooth Configuration - 12 teeth per inch with a 2mm tooth distance produces fine, smooth straight cuts with minimal burring in medium-thick metal workpieces.
- 3 in. Total Length with 2 in. Cutting Height - The 2 in. cutting height accommodates medium-thick metal materials from 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. thick, giving the blade room to work cleanly through the full material range.
- Universal T-Shank - The T-shank fits all major jig saw models and cordless jig saws without adapters, reducing setup time and improving convenience on the job site or in the shop.
- 5-Piece Pack - Supplied as a set of 5 identical blades so you have replacements on hand, minimizing downtime when cutting through demanding metal materials.
- Straight Cut Geometry - Blade geometry is optimized specifically for straight cuts, ensuring the blade tracks accurately through ferrous and non-ferrous stock without wandering.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for straight cuts on medium-thick metals in the 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. range, this blade matches the needs of fabricators and contractors cutting sheet metal, aluminum, and metal pipes or profiles with precision.
- The HSS construction means the blade holds up against both ferrous and non-ferrous metals - one blade type handles multiple metal materials, reducing the need to swap blades between different workpieces.
- The universal T-shank eliminates compatibility concerns, making the JT118B-5 a practical addition to any shop already using major-brand jig saws - corded or cordless.
- Buying a 5-piece pack keeps your workflow uninterrupted, especially during repetitive metal-cutting jobs where individual blades are consumed faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material thickness range do these jig saw blades handle?
These blades are rated for medium-thick metals ranging from 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. thick (approximately 2.5mm to 6mm). Using them outside this range may result in reduced cut quality or blade wear.
What types of metals can the JT118B-5 blades cut?
These HSS blades are suited for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals within the 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. thickness range. Common applications include aluminum sheet, metal profiles, and metal pipes.
Will these blades fit my jig saw?
Yes - the T-shank design is a universal shank type that fits all major jig saw brands, including cordless models, without requiring any adapter.
Why choose 12 TPI for metal cutting?
A 12 TPI count, combined with a 2mm tooth distance, is optimized for fine, controlled straight cuts in medium-thick metal. The finer tooth pitch reduces burring and produces a cleaner cut edge compared to coarser blades intended for wood or thick materials.
