CMT JT234X-5 Jig Saw Blades for Wood - Thin and Thick (HCS) 4-1/2 in. x 8-12 TPI, 5-Piece Pack by CMT are High-Carbon Steel jig saw blades engineered for extra-clean, splinter-free straight cuts across a wide range of wood-based materials. With a progressive 8-12 TPI variable tooth pitch and a universal T-Shank, these blades handle workpieces from 1/8 in. to 2-9/16 in. thick - covering both thin sheet goods and thick solid lumber in a single blade design. Whether you are cutting hardwood, softwood, plywood, OSB, or laminates, this 5-piece set delivers consistent, fine results on every pass.

Key Features

• Progressive 8-12 TPI Variable Tooth Pitch - the 2-3 mm tooth distance reduces vibration during cutting, allowing the blade to transition smoothly between thin and thick workpieces without chatter or blade deflection, resulting in a cleaner finished edge.
• Extra-Clean Splinter-Free Straight Cuts - precision-ground teeth produce a fine, smooth cut surface on hardwood, softwood, plywood, OSB, and laminates, reducing sanding and cleanup time after each cut.
• Wide Material Thickness Range (1/8 in. to 2-9/16 in.) - a single blade type covers both thin laminates and thick solid stock up to 2-9/16 in., reducing the need to swap blades when working across different material thicknesses on the same project.
• High-Carbon Steel (HCS) Blade Construction - HCS material provides the flexibility needed for straight cuts in wood-based materials without blade breakage, making these blades a reliable choice for demanding woodworking applications.
• Universal T-Shank - fits all major jig saw models without an adapter, making these blades a drop-in replacement for cordless and corded jig saws alike.
• 4-1/2 in. Total Length with 3-1/2 in. Cutting Height - the generous cutting height handles thick dimensional lumber and sheet goods while keeping the blade profile compact for controlled, accurate cuts.
• 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades included in one pack, providing job-site backup blades and better value per blade compared to single-unit purchases.

Why This Product

• If you regularly switch between cutting thin laminates and thick solid wood, the 8-12 progressive TPI design means one blade type handles the full 1/8 in. to 2-9/16 in. thickness range - eliminating the need to stop and change blades mid-project.
• For finish carpentry, cabinetry, or any application where surface quality matters, the splinter-free straight cut performance on plywood, OSB, hardwood, and laminates reduces rework and delivers cleaner edges directly off the blade.
• The universal T-Shank makes these blades compatible with virtually any corded or cordless jig saw on the job site, so no adapters or special tools are required to get to work immediately.
• Buying a 5-piece set means you always have a fresh blade ready when one wears out, keeping productivity high during long cutting sessions or production work.
