A five-blade mixed set of Starrett Pro bi-metal reciprocating saw blades covering wood and metal cutting. Includes 150mm and 225mm blades in 6tpi and 9tpi configurations. Built with Starrett 3X bi-metal technology for extended blade life.
The Starrett Pro Reciprocating Saw Blade Set gives you five bi-metal blades in a single pack, covering the most common wood and metal cutting jobs you will encounter on site. This reciprocating saw blade set includes blades in both 150mm and 225mm lengths with 6tpi and 9tpi tooth configurations, so you are not caught short mid-job swapping between tasks. Whether you are cutting framing timber, sheet metal, or materials with fixings embedded in them, this pack has a blade to suit.
Starrett builds these blades using their 3X bi-metal technology, which they rate at up to three times the blade life compared to their previous range. The bi-metal construction combines a hardened high-speed steel tooth edge with a more flexible alloy steel body. That combination matters in practice: the teeth hold an edge under load, while the body flexes rather than snapping when the cut shifts direction or catches on a knot or fastener.
What’s in the Starrett Pro Reciprocating Saw Blade Set
The five-blade assortment includes the B66, B10, B614, B618 and B624 blade models. Between them, these blades cover light and aggressive wood cutting as well as metal cutting at different thicknesses. The 6tpi blades are designed for faster, coarser cuts through timber and softer materials. The 9tpi blades produce a cleaner finish and are better suited to thinner metals, plastic pipe, and composite board where a rougher cut would cause tearing or snagging.
Having both lengths available in the same pack is useful. The 150mm blades work well in tighter access situations, window reveals, internal stud walls, and pipework in confined spaces. The 225mm blades give more reach for deeper cuts through floor joists, door frames, or thicker structural sections where the shorter blade would run out of travel.
Bi-Metal Construction in Practice
Standard carbon steel blades have their place, but once you start cutting through materials with nails, screws, or varying density, they dull quickly or break altogether. The bi-metal build of the Starrett Pro blades handles mixed-material cutting with more consistency. Demolition work, refurbishment cutting, and salvage jobs all involve materials where you cannot always be sure what is inside. These blades cope with that uncertainty better than single-material alternatives.
The universal shank fits all standard reciprocating saws, so compatibility is not a concern regardless of which brand of saw you are running. Starrett is a well-established name in cutting tools, and the Pro range reflects the quality standards their blades have been held to for decades. For tradespeople who use a recip saw regularly, having a mixed blade set from a manufacturer of this calibre is a practical choice over buying low-cost blades that need replacing after a single job.
Pro Tip: When cutting through timber that may contain hidden fixings, start with a 9tpi blade rather than a 6tpi blade as the finer tooth geometry is less likely to strip or shatter on contact with a nail before you have a chance to reposition.
This reciprocating saw blade set is used across construction, refurbishment, and demolition work wherever a recip saw is the practical cutting tool. The wood-rated blades handle framing timber, floor joists, door frames, skirting removal, and rough carpentry cuts. The metal-rated blades are suited to copper and plastic pipe, mild steel sections, conduit, and sheet metal. The mixed pack is particularly useful for tradespeople who move between different materials throughout the working day without wanting to carry multiple sets of blades. Plumbers cutting out old pipework, joiners trimming frames in awkward spaces, and labourers doing strip-out work all reach for a recip saw with a mixed blade kit like this one.

Universal shank fitting
Not suitable for: These blades are not designed for cutting hardened steel, cast iron, or ceramic materials. For thick structural steel or stainless steel, a dedicated metal cutting blade with a finer tooth count would be more appropriate.
Fit the selected blade to your reciprocating saw according to the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shank is fully engaged and the clamp is secure before switching on. Select the 6tpi blade for fast cuts through timber or thicker materials, and the 9tpi blade for metal, plastic pipe, or wherever a cleaner cut edge is needed.
Keep the saw shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece during cutting to reduce blade flex and vibration. This extends blade life and improves cut accuracy. When cutting through material that may contain hidden fixings, reduce speed and let the blade work at a controlled pace rather than forcing it. Forcing the blade against resistance is the fastest way to break it or blunt it prematurely.
Select the appropriate blade for the material: 6tpi for wood and soft materials, 9tpi for metal and finer cuts
Choose blade length based on access and required cut depth: 150mm for confined spaces, 225mm for deeper sections
Insert the blade shank fully into the saw clamp and confirm it is locked securely before starting
Press the saw shoe firmly against the workpiece to stabilise the blade and reduce flex during the cut
Start the cut at a controlled speed, particularly when entering the material at an angle or near a surface edge
Reduce feed pressure if the blade contacts unexpected fixings or changes in material density
Allow the blade to cool briefly between extended cuts, especially in metal, to preserve tooth hardness
Will these blades fit my reciprocating saw?
Yes. The Starrett Pro blades use a universal shank that fits all standard reciprocating saws, including Bosch, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, and Ryobi models among others. If your saw accepts standard recip blades, these will fit.
Which blade in the set should I use for cutting copper pipe?
Use one of the 9tpi blades for copper pipe. The finer tooth pitch cuts through thinner-walled materials more cleanly and with less snagging than a 6tpi blade. The 150mm length is usually sufficient and easier to manage in the confined spaces where pipework tends to sit.
How does 3X bi-metal technology differ from standard carbon steel blades?
Bi-metal blades use a high-speed steel tooth edge bonded to a flexible alloy steel body. The HSS teeth hold their edge significantly longer than standard carbon steel, particularly in harder materials or when cutting through embedded fixings. The flexible body also means the blade is far less likely to snap under lateral stress, which is a common failure point with carbon steel blades in demolition work.
The Starrett Pro reciprocating blades are manufactured using bi-metal construction, combining a hardened high-speed steel cutting edge with an alloy steel body. Starrett's 3X technology is rated to deliver up to three times the service life of their previous blade range under comparable cutting conditions. The pack spans two blade lengths (150mm and 225mm) and two tooth pitches (6tpi and 9tpi), covering blade models B66, B10, B614, B618 and B624. The universal shank maintains compatibility across all standard reciprocating saw platforms.
