Product Description
CMT JS1411DF-5 Reciprocating Saw Blades for Wood and Metal - BIM 12" x 6TPI (5-Piece) are professional-grade bi-metal sabre saw blades engineered for demanding demolition and remodeling tasks where blades must power through wood with embedded nails, chipboard, and glass fiber reinforced plastic in a single pass. Built on a 12-inch overall length with an 11-inch cutting height, these blades tackle material up to 10 inches thick without blade changes or hesitation. Sold as a 5-piece pack, they deliver consistent, reliable performance across a wide range of jobsite cutting conditions.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - the combination of high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring-steel back gives these blades the hardness needed to cut metal fasteners and the toughness to resist bending and breakage during aggressive cuts.
- 6 TPI Tooth Configuration - six teeth per inch with a 4.3mm tooth distance delivers fast, coarse material removal through thick wood, chipboard, and glass fiber reinforced plastic, reducing cut time on heavy stock.
- 11-Inch Cutting Height - the generous 11-inch usable cutting length allows the blade to reach deep into structural members, beams, and stacked material without repositioning the saw.
- Maximum Cutting Capacity up to 10 Inches - rated for material thicknesses under 10 inches, these blades handle full-dimension lumber, thick chipboard panels, and composite materials that shorter blades simply cannot reach.
- 0.049-Inch Blade Thickness - the precise blade thickness balances rigidity during plunge cuts with enough flexibility to track straight lines through dense or layered material.
- Universal Shank Compatibility - the standard universal shank fits all major reciprocating and sabre saw platforms, so there is no need for adapters or brand-specific tooling.
- 5-Piece Pack Quantity - multiple blades in a single pack means fewer interruptions for restocking on multi-day demolition or renovation projects, keeping the work moving.
Why This Product
- Cuts through nail-embedded wood without stopping - the BIM construction is specifically rated for wood with nails or metal, making these blades the right choice for deconstruction, framing teardown, and renovation work where hidden fasteners are a constant hazard.
- Handles a wide range of materials in one blade - from chipboard to glass fiber reinforced plastic to metal, this single blade profile covers multiple substrates, reducing the need to carry and swap between specialty blades on the job.
- Deep cutting capacity for thick stock - with a cutting height of 11 inches and a maximum material thickness rating under 10 inches, these blades address the common frustration of short blades that fail to clear full-depth structural cuts.
- Pack of 5 for sustained productivity - having 5 blades on hand means crews can work through demanding cuts and blade wear without downtime waiting for replacements, a practical advantage on larger demolition or framing jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can these reciprocating saw blades cut?
These BIM blades are designed to cut wood with embedded nails or metal, chipboard, and glass fiber reinforced plastic. The bi-metal construction handles both wood and metal in a single blade, making them well suited for demolition and renovation applications where mixed materials are encountered.
What is the maximum cutting thickness these blades can handle?
These blades are rated for material thicknesses under 10 inches. The cutting height is 11 inches and the total blade length is 12 inches, providing enough reach for full-dimension structural lumber and thick composite panels within that thickness range.
Will these blades fit my existing reciprocating saw?
Yes. These blades feature a universal shank that is compatible with all major reciprocating and sabre saw platforms. No adapters are required for standard tool-free blade clamp systems.
What does BIM mean, and why does it matter for cutting performance?
BIM stands for Bi-Metal, which refers to a construction method that bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel back. The high-speed steel teeth resist wear and maintain a sharp edge when contacting metal fasteners, while the flexible back prevents blade breakage during demanding cuts through dense or layered material.
