Jigsaw Blades – Wood Cutting – Bi-Metal Blades – T101BF

The T101BF bi-metal wood jigsaw blades combine a high carbon steel body with a high speed steel cutting edge — two materials that each bring something to the table. The HCS body gives flex without snapping, while the HSS teeth hold their sharpness through the kind of extended use that chews through cheaper blades in an afternoon. If you’ve ever snapped a bargain blade halfway through a cut, you’ll know exactly why bi-metal matters.

These 100mm blades are designed for straight, clean cutting through wood and wood-based sheet materials, and they handle plastic too without wandering or tearing. The shatter-resistant construction means there’s less risk of that alarming crack mid-cut — particularly useful when you’re working overhead or at an awkward angle and catching flying fragments is not on anyone’s to-do list.

Where T101BF Bi-Metal Jigsaw Blades Get Used

Because the blade stays sharper for longer, you’re not swapping out mid-job or ending up with ragged edges as the cut progresses. That extended service life makes the cost-per-cut genuinely better than going through a pile of cheaper alternatives — which sounds obvious until you’ve stocked the van with blades that last about forty minutes each.

Performance Across Temperatures

One thing worth noting: the bi-metal construction holds up at both low and high operating temperatures. Heavy, sustained cutting generates heat in the blade, and that’s where single-material blades tend to lose their edge quickly. The HSS cutting teeth resist that heat well, which is why these blades perform consistently whether you’re doing light trim work or pushing the jigsaw through thicker stock for a prolonged period.

Sold in packs of five, the T101BF bi-metal jigsaw blades fit the standard T-shank fitting used by the vast majority of jigsaws on site today. Straightforward to swap, no faffing about with adaptors, just blade in and cut.
