T144DF bi-metal wood jigsaw blades with a coarse, straight cut suited to all wood types. HCS body with HSS cutting edge for strength, flexibility and a longer-lasting edge. Sold in packs of 5.
The T144DF bi-metal wood jigsaw blades are a solid choice for anyone cutting timber regularly on site. The T-shank fitting is the standard across most modern jigsaws, so compatibility is rarely an issue. These 100mm blades deliver a coarse, straight cut through all common wood types, from softwood framing timber to hardwood boards, and they hold their edge considerably longer than a basic HCS-only blade would. If you go through blades quickly, that matters.
The bi-metal construction is what sets these apart from cheaper alternatives. The body is high carbon steel, which gives the blade the flexibility it needs to absorb vibration and resist snapping under load. The cutting teeth are high speed steel, which is significantly harder and more heat-resistant. That combination is the reason these blades stay sharp longer, particularly when you are pushing through dense or knotty timber where a standard blade would dull in short order.
Where T144DF Bi-Metal Jigsaw Blades Earn Their Keep
On a busy site, jigsaw blades get used hard. Cutting architrave, skirting, sheet materials, timber framing, even the occasional worktop. A blade that shatters or loses its edge after a few cuts is not just frustrating, it costs money and time. The shatter-resistant design of these blades is a genuine practical benefit, not just a feature on a spec sheet. Bi-metal construction means the blade flexes rather than cracks when it meets resistance, which is exactly what you want when working at pace.
Sold in packs of 5, these are priced for trade use. Keeping a stock of T144DF blades on the van means you are not hunting around for replacements mid-job. The cost per blade works out well, especially if you are switching from single-packs at a merchant. Straightforward to fit, quick to change, and they do exactly what a wood-cutting jigsaw blade should do, without any fuss.
Pro Tip: When cutting hardwood or reclaimed timber with knots, reduce your jigsaw speed slightly and let the blade do the work at a steadier pace, pushing through fast generates heat and blunts the HSS teeth quicker than the wood itself would.
These blades are used wherever a jigsaw is the right tool for the job in timber work. That covers a wide range of tasks: cutting skirting boards, architrave, timber cladding, sheet ply, OSB, softwood stud work, door blanks and hardwood boards. Joiners, carpenters, general builders and site labourers all reach for a reliable wood jigsaw blade regularly. The coarse cut profile means material removal is fast, making these well suited to rougher cut applications where finish quality is secondary to speed and accuracy of line.
Best For

- Softwood framing and sheet materials
- Hardwood boards and worktops
- Skirting, architrave and door blanks
- General site timber cutting
Compatible With
- T-shank jigsaws (universal fit)
- All major jigsaw brands

Key Specifications
- Blade length: 100mm
- T-shank fitting
- Bi-metal construction: HCS body, HSS cutting edge
- Coarse cut profile
- Shatter resistant
- Pack of 5
Not suitable for: Not suitable for cutting metal, plastics or ceramic materials. The coarse tooth profile is designed for wood and will not produce a fine or clean finish cut on materials requiring a finer blade pitch.
Fit the blade into your jigsaw with the tool unplugged or the battery removed. T-shank blades click into place on most modern jigsaws without needing a tool. Mark your cut line clearly, set the jigsaw baseplate flat on the workpiece, and let the blade reach full speed before moving into the cut. Keep the shoe pressed firmly against the material throughout to reduce vibration and improve cut accuracy.
For long straight cuts in thicker timber, use a guide rail or a clamped straight edge to keep the line true. These blades cut on the upstroke, so splintering on the face side is normal. If finish matters, cut with the good face down or score the line first with a knife.
- Disconnect power or remove the battery before fitting the blade
- Insert the T-shank blade into the jigsaw clamp until it clicks securely into position
- Mark your cut line clearly on the workpiece
- Set the jigsaw baseplate flat on the material before starting
- Bring the blade to full speed before moving into the cut
- Keep steady forward pressure and let the blade cut at its own pace, forcing it blunts the teeth faster
- Use a clamped straight edge as a guide for long straight cuts
- Replace the blade when the cut starts to wander or burn rather than cut cleanly
Will these T144DF blades fit my jigsaw?
The T144DF uses a T-shank fitting, which is the standard on the vast majority of modern jigsaws from Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Hikoki and most other brands. If your jigsaw takes T-shank blades, these will fit. Older jigsaws using U-shank fittings are not compatible.
What is the advantage of bi-metal over a standard HCS jigsaw blade?
A standard HCS blade is flexible but the teeth dull relatively quickly. Bi-metal blades use a high speed steel cutting edge which is harder and more heat-resistant, so they stay sharper for longer. The HCS body still provides the flexibility needed to resist snapping. For regular or heavy use, you will get noticeably more cuts per blade compared to a basic alternative.
Can these blades be used for curved cuts as well as straight cuts?
Yes, the T144DF will handle gentle curves in timber. However, the 100mm length and coarse tooth pitch mean tight radius curves are better suited to a narrower, finer blade. For straight cuts and open curves in wood these are well suited. For intricate scroll work or tight bends, a purpose-made scrolling blade would give better results.
The T144DF is a 100mm T-shank jigsaw blade constructed using a bi-metal process. The blade body is high carbon steel, providing flexibility and resistance to fracture under load. The cutting teeth are high speed steel, electron-beam welded to the body, offering greater hardness and heat resistance than the body material alone. This construction results in a shatter-resistant blade with a longer service life than single-material alternatives, particularly in demanding or repeated cutting applications.
