Saw blades for maintenance shops, fabricators and contractors. This section covers portable and stationary band saw blades, reciprocating saw blades for demolition, metal and wood, jig saw blades, hacksaw blades, and circular saw blades for wood and for metal cutting. Materials include carbon steel, bi-metal and carbide-tipped.

What to check before you order

  • Teeth per inch (TPI). A common rule is to keep at least three teeth in the material at once. Use more teeth for thin wall tube and sheet, fewer for thick solid stock and wood.
  • Blade material. Bi-metal blades flex without breaking and hold an edge in metal. Carbide-tipped blades last longer in abrasive and hard materials.
  • Band saw size. Order by length, width and thickness to match your saw. Check the saw's manual or the old blade.
  • Shank and arbor. Reciprocating and jig saw blades come in different shank styles. Circular blades must match the arbor size and the saw's speed rating.
  • Safety. Keep guards in place and follow the tool manufacturer's instructions.

Common questions

What TPI blade do I need to cut thin metal?

Thin sheet and tubing call for a fine blade, often 18 to 24 TPI or higher, so several teeth stay in contact and the blade does not snag.

See saws in power tools, cut-off wheels, or all cutting tools.
