Reciprocating saws are a very useful demolition tool, primarily used to cut into objects to reduce their size and aid with disposal. While similar in style to a jigsaw, a reciprocating saw sacrifices precision in favour of speed, delivering faster, rougher cuts with a bigger blade.
Common use cases for reciprocating saws include cutting metal and wood flush against a surface, cutting through worn-down materials to help with removal, and tree pruning.
How to Choose a Reciprocating Saw Blade
Which reciprocating saw blade you require will often come down to what material you’re cutting into. The style of blade is often specifically designed with certain materials in mind.
Some of the key features that define reciprocating saw blades include:
- Teeth Per Inch – A blade’s TPI often defines what material it is made for. A low TPI is better suited to fast cuts through wood, while a high TPI is good for smoother cutting through thicker metals.
- Blade Length – Make sure your blade is long enough to cut through your material, allowing additional room for tip clearance and machine stroke.
- Blade Material – As with other saws, steel blades tend to be longer lasting, while carbon blades are cheaper and more flexible but are worn down quicker.
At Fastbuild, we stock a wide selection of reciprocating saw blades, including various TPIs, lengths and thicknesses. The vast majority of reciprocating saw blades are universal and designed to fit various machines, although you may wish to check against your current blades to make sure.
How Often Should You Replace Your Reciprocating Saw Blade?
Because reciprocating saws are constantly cutting through tough materials, they can quickly become worn down. If you regularly use a reciprocating saw, you may need to replace the blade every few hours, while DIYers may need to inspect the blade after every few jobs. You’ll also want separate blades for different materials, such as wood or metal.
Many of our reciprocating blade saws come in packs of five, while we also allow for bulk orders, so you can make sure you have all the blades you need. With a wide selection of high-quality reciprocating blade saws at great trade prices, you can get everything you need right here at Fastbuild.
