CMT JT101BIF-5 Jig Saw Blades for Laminate and Fine Straight Cuts are precision-engineered bi-metal blades built specifically for splinter-free cutting in laminates, HPL (high-pressure laminate), and multiplex panels. At 3-1/4 inches total length with a 15 TPI tooth count, these blades deliver clean, fine straight cuts in coated and laminated surfaces ranging from 1/16 inch to 3/4 inch thick - making them a go-to choice for finish work, laminate flooring installation, and cabinet panel cutting where surface quality matters most. Sold as a 5-piece pack, the JT101BIF-5 uses a universal T-shank design that fits all major jig saw and cordless jig saw models without an adapter.

Key Features

• Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible alloy body, delivering longer blade life when cutting abrasive laminate and HPL materials compared to standard HCS blades.
• 15 TPI Fine Tooth Geometry - the 1.7mm tooth distance produces fine, splinter-free cuts, preserving the surface quality of laminates, HPL panels, and multiplex boards on every pass.
• Splinter-Free Cutting Performance - engineered specifically for all laminates, HPL, and multiplex panels from 1/16 inch to 3/4 inch thick, reducing tearout and finishing time on visible surfaces.
• Universal T-Shank - fits all major jig saw models and cordless jig saw brands, so there is no adapter needed and blade changes stay fast and straightforward.
• 3-1/4 Inch Total Length with 2-5/16 Inch Cutting Height - provides adequate blade reach for cutting panels and laminate flooring sections in a compact, maneuverable blade size.
• 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades included in a single purchase, keeping replacements on hand for extended projects and multi-panel cutting jobs.

Why This Product

• When cutting laminate flooring, HPL countertops, or coated multiplex panels, surface tearout is a persistent problem - the 15 TPI fine tooth pitch and BIM construction work together to produce clean edges without splintering the decorative face.
• The compatible material range of 1/16 inch to 3/4 inch thickness covers virtually all standard laminate and multiplex panel thicknesses used in cabinetry and flooring applications, making this a single blade choice for a wide range of finish cutting tasks.
• BIM material construction holds up against the abrasive nature of laminate and HPL surfaces, meaning blades stay sharper through more cuts before replacement compared to standard carbon steel options.
• The universal T-shank compatibility eliminates the need to stock different blade types for different tools - one blade style works across all major jig saw models on the jobsite or in the shop.
