150mm bi-metal reciprocating saw blade designed for cutting wood with embedded nails. HCS body with HSS cutting edge gives you durability and flex in one blade. Shatter-resistant construction keeps the edge sharp through tough, mixed-material cuts.
The S610VF bi-metal reciprocating saw blade is built specifically for one of the messiest jobs on site: cutting through timber that has nails in it. Demolition, second-fix strip-outs, cutting studwork, ripping out old joinery — wherever you are likely to hit fixings mid-cut, this blade is designed to keep going rather than give up. At 150mm, it covers most general recip saw work without being unwieldy.
Bi-metal construction is what makes it work. The body is high carbon steel, which gives the blade enough flex to handle the movement and vibration you get during aggressive cuts without snapping. The cutting edge is high speed steel, which is significantly harder and holds its sharpness far longer than a standard HCS blade would under the same conditions. You get the best of both materials in a single blade, which is why bi-metal has become the standard choice for tradespeople who cut mixed materials regularly.
Where the S610VF Bi-Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade Earns Its Keep
This is not a blade you reach for when cutting clean softwood on a bench. It is the one you grab when you are pulling apart a st partition, cutting through old floorboards with screws buried in them, or demolishing a frame where you genuinely have no idea what fixings are still in there. The shatter-resistant design matters in those situations. A blade that chips or cracks mid-cut is a safety issue as much as a performance one.
Extended service life is a straightforward benefit here. Because the HSS cutting edge holds its shape longer, you go through fewer blades per job. On a longer demolition project, that adds up. Buying a pack of five rather than burning through individual blades quickly is where the value becomes obvious.
Compatibility
The S610VF uses a standard universal shank fitting, so it will fit the vast majority of reciprocating and sabre saws on the market without any adapters or faff.
Pro Tip: When cutting through nail-embedded timber, slow your stroke speed slightly and let the blade do the work: forcing the pace through fixings is the quickest way to blunt even a bi-metal edge prematurely.
These blades are used wherever demolition and timber cutting overlap with hidden or visible fixings. Think studwork removal, breaking down pallet timber, cutting out old door frames, floorboard strip-outs, and general site demolition where nails and screws are a near-certainty. Groundworkers, site joiners, and demolition crews will all find a use for them. They are also a sensible choice for maintenance engineers and shop-fitters dealing with mixed-material structures where a clean cut is less important than getting through quickly and reliably.

Not suitable for: Not intended for cutting metal sections, masonry, or plastics. If you need a blade primarily for clean cuts in nail-free softwood or sheet timber, a standard HCS blade will cut faster for that specific purpose.
Fit the blade to your reciprocating saw using the standard universal shank. Check it is seated and locked before you start. For wood with nails, a moderate stroke speed gives the blade time to work through fixings without overloading the teeth. Let the weight of the saw do most of the work rather than pushing hard into the material.
Keep an eye on blade temperature during extended cuts. Bi-metal handles heat well but continuous heavy use will shorten the service life of any blade. Short breaks on long cuts are worth it.
Ensure your reciprocating saw is unplugged or the battery is removed before fitting the blade.
Insert the S610VF blade into the universal shank chuck and lock it securely according to your saw's instructions.
Select a moderate stroke speed setting if your saw has variable speed — avoid maximum speed when cutting through nails.
Begin the cut with light, controlled pressure, allowing the blade teeth to establish a path before increasing feed pressure.
When you feel resistance from a nail or screw, maintain steady pressure rather than forcing through it.
After use, allow the blade to cool before handling and inspect the teeth for damage before storing or reusing.
Will the S610VF blade fit my reciprocating saw?
The S610VF uses a standard universal shank, which is compatible with the vast majority of reciprocating and sabre saws from brands including Bosch, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, and most others. If your saw accepts standard recip blades, this will fit.
How does a bi-metal blade differ from a standard HCS blade for cutting wood with nails?
A standard HCS blade is fine for clean timber but the cutting edge dulls quickly when it hits metal fixings. The HSS cutting edge on a bi-metal blade is much harder and retains its sharpness after repeated contact with nails and screws. The HCS body keeps it flexible so it does not snap under the lateral forces you get during demolition work.
The S610VF is a 150mm bi-metal reciprocating saw blade with a high carbon steel body bonded to a high speed steel cutting edge. This construction gives a shatter-resistant blade that maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range while providing significantly greater edge hardness and wear resistance than single-material HCS blades. Supplied in a pack of five with a standard universal shank fitting.
