Jigsaw Blades – Metal Cutting – HSS Blades – T118B

The T118B HSS metal jigsaw blades are a straight-forward choice when you need clean, accurate cuts through steel and non-ferrous metals. High Speed Steel holds its edge at elevated temperatures, which matters when you are pushing through mild steel or stainless and the blade is working hard. Standard blades soften under that kind of heat and the cut quality drops off fast. These do not.

The 76mm blade length suits most mid-range and professional jigsaws taking T-shank fittings, and the milled and wavy set teeth are what keep the cut tight and controlled. Wavy set means the teeth alternate in a gentle wave pattern across the blade rather than a simple left-right offset. That reduces vibration, keeps the kerf consistent, and leaves a finish that does not need a lot of cleaning up afterwards.

Where T118B HSS Jigsaw Blades Perform Best

These blades are particularly useful in fabrication, site metalwork, and general maintenance work where you are cutting sheet steel, box section, aluminium profile, or copper and brass. Stainless steel is one of those materials that chews through lesser blades at a rate that makes you question your career choices. The HSS body handles it properly, maintaining cutting performance without the blade bluing off and going soft halfway through the job.

For anyone cutting thin-wall steel tube, aluminium extrusions, or sheet materials on a regular basis, having a reliable T118B jigsaw blade to hand is just practical. The pack of 5 means you are not scrambling around for a replacement mid-job. Keep a few in the van.

These are not bi-metal blades, so do not reach for them when cutting thick hardwoods or plasterboard. Stick to what they are designed for and they will serve you well across a broad range of metal cutting applications.
