Pack of 5 bi-metal reciprocating saw blades for cutting non-ferrous metals. 150mm length with milled and wavy set teeth for a fine, straight cut. HCS body with HSS cutting edge for lasting sharpness and flexibility.
These 150mm bi-metal reciprocating saw blades are designed for cutting non-ferrous metals cleanly and accurately. The S922BF pattern combines a high carbon steel body with a high speed steel cutting edge, giving you a blade that flexes without snapping and holds its edge through extended use. Sold in packs of five, these blades are a practical choice for tradespeople who use a reciprocating saw regularly and want consistent performance without constantly changing blades mid-job.
The bi-metal construction is what makes this blade worth using over a cheaper single-material alternative. The high carbon steel body absorbs the vibration and flex that comes with reciprocating saw work, while the HSS teeth stay sharp at both low and high operating temperatures. That combination matters in real use: blades that soften under heat dull quickly and leave a rough cut edge. These hold their geometry longer, which translates directly to fewer blade changes and a lower cost per cut.
Where These Bi-Metal Reciprocating Saw Blades Perform Best
The milled and wavy set tooth pattern on the S922BF is specifically suited to non-ferrous metals. The wavy set alternates the tooth angle across the blade width, which spreads the cutting load and reduces vibration. The result is a finer, straighter cut with less chatter than you get from a coarser tooth configuration. For aluminium sections, copper pipe, thin sheet metal, and similar materials, this blade pattern produces a finish that needs minimal dressing afterwards.
Shatter Resistance in Practice
Reciprocating saw blades take a beating, particularly in awkward cutting positions where blade flex is unavoidable. The shatter-resistant construction of these bi-metal blades means they bend rather than fracture under stress, reducing the risk of blade failure mid-cut. This matters both for the quality of the cut and for basic safety on site. A blade that shatters mid-stroke is nobody’s idea of a good afternoon.
At this price point for a pack of five, the S922BF offers a solid cost-per-blade ratio for any trade using a reciprocating saw regularly on non-ferrous metalwork, pipework, or sheet cutting applications.
Pro Tip: When cutting thin non-ferrous sheet with these blades, reduce your saw's stroke speed and apply light, steady pressure rather than forcing the cut, as this prevents tooth stripping and keeps the blade running straight.
These bi-metal reciprocating saw blades are used primarily in metalwork and plumbing applications where non-ferrous materials need to be cut cleanly. Aluminium sections, copper pipe, lead flashing, and thin steel sheet are all within scope. Plumbers, electricians, and general builders reach for this type of blade when cutting through pipework, cable tray, or roofing materials during installation or strip-out work.
The 150mm blade length suits tighter access situations where a longer blade would foul against adjacent surfaces. Reciprocating saws are commonly used for demolition cuts, making cuts in awkward corners, or trimming materials already fixed in place. The S922BF handles these conditions well, particularly where a clean cut edge is needed without a secondary finishing operation.

Not suitable for: These blades are not designed for cutting ferrous metals such as cast iron or hardened steel, where a dedicated ferrous-rated blade would be the correct choice. They are not intended for cutting wood, plastics, or composite materials.
Fit the blade into the reciprocating saw with the teeth facing the direction of cut, ensuring the shank is fully seated and locked in the blade clamp. For non-ferrous metals, a medium stroke speed gives better control and reduces heat build-up at the cutting edge. Let the blade do the work rather than forcing it through the material.
When cutting pipe or tube, support the workpiece securely to prevent movement during the cut. Unsupported material vibrates excessively, which puts unnecessary stress on the blade teeth and produces a rougher cut edge. A light cutting oil applied to the blade can extend service life when cutting aluminium or copper in volume.
Ensure the reciprocating saw is disconnected from power or the battery is removed before fitting the blade.
Insert the S922BF blade shank fully into the blade clamp with the teeth oriented away from the saw body.
Lock the blade clamp securely and give the blade a firm tug to confirm it is seated correctly.
Mark your cut line on the workpiece and secure the material in a vice or with clamps to prevent movement.
Set the saw to a medium stroke speed for non-ferrous metals and engage the orbital action if your saw has it turned off for metal cutting.
Begin the cut with light pressure, allowing the blade to establish its path before applying full cutting pressure.
Maintain steady, consistent pressure throughout the cut without forcing the blade or twisting the saw body.
Allow the blade to cool between cuts if making multiple passes on the same material, particularly with aluminium.
What does S922BF mean and will these blades fit my reciprocating saw?
S922BF is a standard blade designation that identifies the tooth pattern, length, and application type. Blades with this designation use a universal shank fitting compatible with the vast majority of reciprocating saws and sabre saws on the market, including Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Ryobi models among others.
Can these blades cut steel as well as non-ferrous metals?
These blades are rated for non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, and lead. They will cut thin mild steel sheet, but for regular work on ferrous metals or anything hardened, a blade specifically rated for ferrous cutting will last significantly longer and give a better result.
What is the difference between milled and wavy set teeth compared to standard teeth?
Milled and wavy set teeth are precision ground and alternate in angle across the blade width. This spreads the cutting load more evenly, reduces vibration during the cut, and produces a finer cut edge with less burr. It also helps the blade track straight rather than wandering, which matters when cutting thin sheet or pipe.
Why choose a bi-metal blade over a standard high carbon steel blade?
A high carbon steel blade uses the same material throughout, which means the teeth soften relatively quickly under heat. Bi-metal blades use a tougher HSS cutting edge bonded to an HCS body, giving you teeth that stay sharp longer without the body becoming brittle. In practical terms, you get more cuts per blade and fewer breakages.
The S922BF bi-metal reciprocating saw blade is 150mm in length and constructed with a high carbon steel body welded to a high speed steel cutting edge. The HSS tooth material retains its hardness at elevated operating temperatures, reducing edge deformation under sustained cutting loads. The milled and wavy set tooth geometry distributes cutting forces across multiple teeth simultaneously, extending blade life and improving cut straightness. The shatter-resistant blade body is designed to flex under stress rather than fracture, suitable for off-angle and confined cutting positions.
