Product Description
CMT JS1111K-5 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood (HCS) - 9" x 3TPI - 5-Piece Pack are high-carbon steel sabre saw blades engineered for fast, aggressive cutting through coarse, nail-free wood and firewood up to 7 inches thick. With a coarse 3 TPI tooth configuration and an 8.5mm tooth distance, these blades are purpose-built for demanding demolition, pruning, and firewood cutting tasks where speed matters more than finish quality. Each blade in this 5-piece set delivers an 8-inch cutting height and a 0.049-inch tooth thickness, giving you both reach and rigidity for thick timber work.
Key Features
- High-Carbon Steel (HCS) Construction - provides the flexibility and toughness needed to power through coarse lumber and green wood without snapping under load, making these blades a reliable choice for outdoor and demolition-style cutting.
- 3 TPI Coarse Tooth Pattern - aggressive tooth spacing that clears chips quickly and drives through thick, fibrous wood fast, reducing cutting time on firewood and rough lumber.
- 8.5mm Tooth Distance - optimized gullet spacing that evacuates sawdust efficiently and prevents blade binding in deep, slow cuts through dense material.
- 8-Inch Cutting Height - allows the blade to reach deep into material up to 7 inches thick, keeping the full working length engaged throughout the cut.
- 0.049-Inch Tooth Thickness - a kerf dimension that balances cutting speed with blade stability during reciprocating motion in coarse stock.
- 9-Inch Total Length - extra blade length beyond the cut zone gives the saw shoe a stable bearing surface, improving control during demanding freehand cuts through rough wood and green timber.
- 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades included so you always have a fresh cutting edge ready when working through high volumes of firewood or demolition lumber.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for coarse, nail-free wood and firewood up to 7 inches in thickness - so you get a blade matched to the job rather than a general-purpose compromise that slows you down in thick stock.
- The 3 TPI coarse geometry prioritizes cutting speed over surface finish, making these blades the right choice when throughput matters - such as processing firewood or clearing rough lumber quickly.
- HCS material provides the flexibility that wood cutting demands, reducing blade breakage during the rocking and plunge cuts common in pruning green wood and freehand demolition work.
- The 5-piece quantity means you have a ready supply of replacement blades on hand, minimizing downtime when a blade dulls mid-project on coarse or abrasive wood material.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum wood thickness these blades can cut?
These blades are rated for material less than 7 inches in thickness. The 8-inch cutting height and 9-inch total length provide ample reach for that capacity, but the blades are intended for coarse, nail-free wood only - driving into embedded nails or metal fasteners will damage the HCS teeth.
Are these blades suitable for cutting green wood and pruning?
Yes. The CMT JS1111K is specifically designed for coarse wood cutting applications including pruning green wood and processing firewood. The 3 TPI coarse tooth configuration handles the fibrous, moisture-rich structure of green wood efficiently by clearing chips aggressively through the wide gullets.
What does HCS mean and how does it affect performance?
HCS stands for High-Carbon Steel. This material is selected for wood-cutting reciprocating blades because it offers a balance of hardness for edge retention and flexibility to withstand the bending stresses of reciprocating motion. It is the appropriate material choice for coarse wood, green wood, and firewood applications.
Why are 3 TPI blades the right choice for this type of cutting?
A 3 TPI (teeth per inch) count is a coarse configuration that prioritizes cutting speed over finish quality. The large gullets between teeth clear material quickly, which is ideal when working through thick lumber, firewood, or green pruning wood where a smooth surface is not required. For finer or thinner materials, a higher TPI blade would be more appropriate.
