HSS jigsaw blades designed for cutting steel, stainless steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metals. Milled and wavy set teeth deliver a fine, straight cut. Suitable for high heat generating materials where standard bi-metal blades struggle. Sold in packs of 5.
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.
Pro Tip: When cutting stainless steel, set your jigsaw to a lower speed setting and let the blade do the work rather than forcing the pace — heat is the enemy of blade life on stainless, and a slower feed rate will get you more cuts per blade.
T118B HSS metal jigsaw blades are used across fabrication shops, construction sites, and maintenance work wherever a jigsaw is the practical tool for the job. They cut mild steel sheet and box section, stainless steel plate, aluminium extrusions, copper pipe, and brass fittings cleanly and without excessive burring. Plumbers, metalworkers, site engineers, and maintenance electricians all reach for blades like these when they need a controlled cut in metal that a grinder or hacksaw cannot deliver as accurately.

Key Specifications

- Blade length: 76mm
- Tooth set: Milled and wavy set (MWS)
- Shank type: T-shank
- Pack quantity: 5 blades

Not suitable for: Not suitable for cutting wood, plasterboard, or other non-metal materials. HSS blades are not the right choice for thick hardened steel or very heavy-gauge plate work where bi-metal or carbide-tipped blades would be more appropriate.
Fit the blade into a T-shank compatible jigsaw with the machine unplugged or battery removed. For mild steel and aluminium, a mid-to-high speed setting works well. For stainless steel, reduce the speed and use a light cutting oil or lubricant on the cut line to manage heat buildup and extend blade life.
Let the jigsaw reach full speed before the blade contacts the material. Keep the baseplate firmly on the workpiece and feed steadily without forcing. Thin sheet metal should be clamped securely to avoid vibration, which causes poor cut quality and shortens blade life quickly.
- Ensure the jigsaw is unplugged or the battery is removed before fitting the blade
- Insert the T118B blade into the T-shank clamp and secure it fully
- Mark your cut line clearly on the metal using a marker or scribe
- Clamp the workpiece securely to a bench or vice to prevent vibration during cutting
- Select an appropriate speed setting on the jigsaw — lower for stainless steel, mid-to-high for mild steel and aluminium
- Apply a small amount of cutting oil to the cut line when working with stainless steel
- Bring the jigsaw to full speed before the blade contacts the metal surface
- Feed the blade along the cut line steadily, keeping the baseplate flat against the workpiece throughout
What jigsaw shank type do these T118B blades use?
These blades use a T-shank fitting, which is the most common jigsaw shank type across mid-range and professional machines from the major manufacturers. If your jigsaw takes T-shank blades, these will fit.
Can I use these blades on stainless steel?
Yes. The HSS construction is specifically well-suited to stainless steel, which generates significant heat during cutting. Use a lower speed setting and apply a cutting lubricant to the line to manage heat and get more life from each blade.
What does milled and wavy set (MWS) mean and why does it matter?
MWS refers to how the teeth are ground and offset. A wavy set alternates the teeth in a gentle wave pattern rather than a simple left-right offset, which reduces vibration and produces a finer, cleaner cut with less burring on the cut edge. For metalwork where finish matters, it makes a genuine difference.
The T118B blade is manufactured from High Speed Steel, a tool steel grade that retains hardness at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for metals that generate significant heat during cutting. The 76mm blade length and T-shank fitting are compatible with the T-shank standard used across most current professional jigsaw platforms. Milled and wavy set teeth produce a fine kerf with reduced vibration and a cleaner cut edge compared to standard set blades.
