Jigsaw Blades

A power tool as versatile as the jigsaw requires a comprehensive range of accessories to fulfill its potential. Jigsaws are capable of cutting almost any material when equipped with the right blade and Protrade has this covered with a range of jigsaw blades that offer speed of cut, quality of finish, and prolonged service life. As a linear-edged cutting tool, jigsaw blades can feature different teeth configurations which can include; milled and set, wavy set, ground taper, and ground tooth, the tooth material can also change depending on the substrate being cut. At Protrade you can choose from carbon steel blades, primarily used for cutting wood, and Bi-Metal blades which have an HCS (high carbon steel body) welded to an HSS (high-speed steel) cutting edge to give longer life in metal, wood and even wood with nails, Tungsten carbide grit and TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) blades which perform very well in abrasive materials such as cement based boards and ceramics and recently introduced, TCT jigsaw blades designed to give extremely long life in stainless steel. Other important features considered within the Protrade jigsaw blade range are; cut length, width of blade - which can determine the curvature of cut that can be made, and the blade thickness, thicker blades are less prone to deflection increasing the chance of a 90-degree cut. Protrade's jigsaw blades are manufactured by well-respected power tool accessories companies such as Maxitek, Lenox, Milwaukee, and Mafell.
