Jigsaw Blades

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, Bi-Metal blades which have a HCS (high carbon steel body) welded to a 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 being 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 and are stocked at each of our Protrade depots located in Derby, Nottingham, Mansfield, Chesterfield and Burton Upon Trent.
