Product Description
CMT JT344D-5 Jig Saw Blades - Wood/Coarse Straight (HCS) 5-1/2" x 6 TPI, 5-Piece Pack are high-carbon steel jig saw blades engineered for very fast, straight, and coarse cuts through thick construction timber, hardwood, softwood, plywood, and OSB. With a 4mm tooth distance and 6 teeth per inch, these blades power through material from 13/64 in. up to 4 in. thick, making them a go-to choice for rough framing cuts, structural lumber work, and demanding woodworking applications where speed matters more than finish.
Key Features
- High-Carbon Steel (HCS) construction - delivers the flexibility and durability needed for fast cutting in wood materials, reducing blade breakage during aggressive use in thick stock
- 6 TPI (4mm tooth distance) coarse tooth geometry - designed for very fast cutting speeds through thick construction timber and hardwood/softwood, prioritizing material removal over fine finish quality
- 5-1/2 in. total blade length with 4-3/8 in. cutting height - provides sufficient reach to handle workpieces up to 4 in. thick, covering a wide range of lumber and panel dimensions
- T-Shank (universal) design - fits all major jig saw brands without an adapter, allowing quick blade changes and broad tool compatibility across cordless and corded saws
- Material capacity of 13/64 in. to 4 in. thick - versatile enough to cut thin panels and full dimensional construction lumber in a single blade set
- 5-piece pack format - provides multiple blades in one purchase so work can continue without interruption when blades wear from heavy-duty cuts
Why This Product
- When speed is the priority on a job site or construction project, the 6 TPI coarse geometry rips through thick construction timber and structural lumber faster than fine-tooth blades - making these a practical choice for rough cuts where precision finish is secondary to pace
- The 4 in. maximum cutting capacity means these blades handle full-thickness dimensional lumber without switching to a different tool, keeping workflow moving on framing and rough carpentry tasks
- The universal T-Shank compatibility eliminates the need for brand-specific adapters or dedicated saw systems, so these blades drop into virtually any jig saw already on the job
- Buying in a 5-piece set means you have backup blades on hand for extended cuts through hard or dense wood species, where coarse blades wear faster than they would in softer materials

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood are these jig saw blades designed to cut?
These blades are designed for very fast, straight, and coarse cuts in thick construction timber, hardwood, softwood, plywood, and OSB. The 6 TPI coarse tooth geometry prioritizes cutting speed over finish quality, making them best suited for rough cutting applications rather than fine finish work.
What is the maximum material thickness these blades can handle?
These blades have a material thickness capacity ranging from 13/64 in. up to 4 in. This wide range covers everything from thin panels and sheet goods up to full-thickness dimensional construction lumber.
Will these blades fit my jig saw?
Yes - these blades feature a universal T-Shank, which is compatible with all major jig saw brands and models, both corded and cordless. No adapter is required for T-Shank compatible saws.
How many blades are included in one package?
Each package contains 5 blades. Having multiple blades in a single pack is practical for extended cutting sessions through hard or dense materials, where individual blades experience faster wear due to the aggressive coarse-cut geometry.
