Jigsaw Blades – Metal Cutting – Bi-Metal Blades – T118AF

The T118AF bi-metal metal jigsaw blades are a solid choice for anyone cutting steel, stainless steel or thin sheet metal on site. The bi-metal construction pairs a high carbon steel body with a high speed steel cutting edge — two materials doing two different jobs. The body flexes without snapping, and the cutting teeth hold their edge significantly longer than a standard HCS-only blade would. That combination is exactly why bi-metal blades have become the default for metal cutting on most sites.

At 76mm, the T118AF is a standard T-shank blade that fits the vast majority of jigsaw models you’ll find on the van. The tooth geometry is designed for metal, keeping the cut clean and reducing the kind of burring you get when a blade starts to dull. Fewer blade changes per job, less dressing afterwards — it adds up over a day’s work.

Where T118AF Bi-Metal Jigsaw Blades Perform Best

These blades come into their own on sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ducting, electrical enclosures and any general metalwork where a clean edge matters. Stainless steel is notoriously hard on cutting edges, and the HSS teeth cope with it far better than cheaper alternatives. The shatter-resistant construction also means less risk of a blade snapping mid-cut, which is worth noting if you’re working in tight spots or overhead.

Cost Effectiveness Over Time

Buying bi-metal over standard HSS or HCS blades is straightforward economics. The extended service life means fewer blades used per project. At this price point per pack, the cost per cut works out well below what you’d pay for equivalent branded alternatives. Running through a box quickly on a busy site? That’s a reasonable argument for buying in bulk and keeping stock in the van rather than making a trip to a builder’s merchant mid-job. Nobody’s favourite way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

Each pack contains 5 blades. T-shank fitting, compatible with all major jigsaw brands.
