High Carbon Steel reciprocating saw blades for cutting wood, chipboard, plywood and MDF. Progressive 6-10tpi tooth pattern for fast, aggressive cuts. Universal shank fits most reciprocating and sabre saw machines. Pack of 5.
The S2345X 200mm wood reciprocating saw blade is a High Carbon Steel blade with a progressive 6-10tpi tooth pattern, designed for fast cutting through timber, chipboard, plywood and MDF. If you’ve ever watched a straight-pitched blade bind and burn its way through a knotty section of timber, you’ll understand why the progressive tooth geometry here makes a real difference. The varying pitch keeps the cut moving and reduces snagging, which matters when you’re working through a stack of boards or cutting out a frame opening at pace.
Where the S2345X 200mm Reciprocating Saw Blade Gets Used
These blades are built for demolition work, first fix carpentry, and any task where you need to remove or cut material quickly. The 200mm length gives you enough reach for deeper cuts through structural timber, joists, or layered sheet materials without constantly repositioning. On renovation jobs especially, they’re the sort of blade you use without thinking twice — pull it out, slot it in, get on with it.
The universal fitting shank means these blades will seat correctly in the vast majority of reciprocating and sabre saw machines on the market. No fussing about with adapters or compatibility charts. Most machines take them straight from the pack.
Progressive Pitch and What It Means in Practice
The 6-10tpi progressive tooth pattern is the key feature of this blade. Lower tooth counts cut faster and more aggressively, higher counts leave a cleaner finish. A progressive blade splits the difference by varying the pitch along the blade length. In softwood framing it flies through. In denser materials like MDF or thick plywood, it holds its line without the blade flexing or wandering. For general site use, this is a sensible all-round choice.
At this price per blade, these are very much working consumables. You use them hard and replace them when they’re done. HCS blades are tougher than bi-metal in pure wood cutting situations, though if you’re hitting embedded fixings, you’ll want a bi-metal blade for that specific job.
Pro Tip: Progressive blades cut faster when you let the saw do the work at full stroke rather than forcing the pace — pushing too hard against the material will flex the blade and slow the cut.
These blades are used by carpenters, joiners, general builders and demolition crews for cutting timber, structural wood, sheet materials and composite boards. Common applications include cutting back floor joists, trimming stud work, ripping through plywood formwork and cutting out MDF panels. On renovation and strip-out projects they get heavy use where speed matters more than a polished finish. The 200mm length suits most framing depths and is long enough for cutting through doubled-up or layered sheet material in a single pass.

Key Specifications
Blade length: 200mm
TPI: 6-10 progressive
Material: High Carbon Steel (HCS)
Fitting: Universal shank
Pack quantity: 5
Not suitable for: Not suitable for cutting metal, as HCS blades are not hardened for contact with steel or other metals. If there is any risk of hitting nails, screws or embedded fixings, use a bi-metal blade instead.
Fit the blade into the reciprocating saw's blade clamp with the shank fully seated and the locking mechanism engaged before switching the saw on. Set the orbital or straight-cut action to suit the material — orbital action speeds up cuts in softwood, straight action gives more control in sheet material. Let the blade reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece.
Allow the saw to do the work at a steady, even pace. Forcing the blade increases flex and can cause the cut to wander, particularly in thicker material. When the blade starts to slow noticeably or the cut begins to drag, replace it — a worn HCS blade will generate heat and is unlikely to recover its original performance.
Ensure the saw is switched off and unplugged or battery removed before fitting the blade
Insert the universal shank fully into the blade clamp until it clicks or locks securely
Select orbital cutting action for softwood and straight action for sheet materials like MDF or plywood
Bring the saw to full speed before the blade contacts the material
Apply steady forward pressure and let the stroke length do the work — avoid forcing
Replace the blade when cutting speed drops noticeably or the blade shows signs of heat discolouration
Will these blades fit my reciprocating saw?
The S2345X blades use a universal fitting shank, which is compatible with the vast majority of reciprocating and sabre saw machines from brands like Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and others. If your saw accepts standard universal shank blades, these will fit without any adapter.
Can I use these blades if I might hit nails or screws in the timber?
Not ideally. HCS blades are designed for clean wood cutting and will blunt or chip quickly on contact with metal fixings. If there is any chance of hitting embedded nails or screws, use a bi-metal reciprocating blade instead, which is designed to handle occasional metal contact.
Manufactured from High Carbon Steel, these blades offer good flexibility and edge retention when cutting wood-based materials. The 6-10tpi progressive tooth pattern varies the pitch along the blade length to improve cutting aggression and reduce vibration. At 200mm in length, the blade provides adequate depth of cut for most structural timber and sheet material applications encountered on site.
