A 100mm bi-metal jigsaw blade designed for clean, controlled cutting through dense hardwoods, MDF, and resin-bonded engineered boards. The bi-metal construction combines a flexible HCS body with hardened HSS teeth, delivering significantly longer tooth life on dense wood products than a standard HCS blade. The 10 TPI pattern produces a clean, controlled cut finish suited to precision joinery, kitchen fitting, and flooring installation where cut quality and accuracy matter. Universal T-shank fitment is compatible with most jigsaw brands on the UK market.
Why Choose the MAXTEC Bi-Metal Jigsaw Blade 100mm 10 TPI
-
Bi-metal construction: HSS teeth resist wear on dense hardwood, MDF, and resin-bonded boards significantly longer than HCS, reducing blade changes on precision cutting work.
-
10 TPI for clean controlled cuts: produces accurate, controlled cut finish on hardwood and engineered boards where a coarser blade would cause excessive tearing.
-
Resistant to tooth wear on dense materials: the hardened HSS tooth tips handle the abrasive nature of MDF, chipboard, and resin-bonded boards without dulling rapidly.
-
Universal T-shank fitment: compatible with most jigsaw brands without an adaptor.
-
Pack of 5: trade quantity for kitchen fitters, flooring installers, and finish carpenters who use jigsaw blades at volume on dense wood products.

Who Is This For?
Kitchen fitters, flooring installers, finish carpenters, and joiners who carry out precision cutting through hardwood, MDF, laminates, and engineered boards where both cut quality and blade longevity are priorities.
Typical Applications
-
Cutting hardwood flooring, decking, and cladding during installation work
-
Cutting MDF panels and sheets during kitchen, furniture, and fitted installation
-
Cutting resin-bonded engineered boards and laminates during flooring and fitting work
-
Cutting curved and intricate profiles in hardwood during joinery and carpentry work
-
Cutting chipboard and dense sheet materials during general construction and fitting work
-
Cutting timber containing embedded nails during renovation and adaptation work
How to Use
-
Confirm your jigsaw accepts universal T-shank fitment before fitting.
-
Insert the blade into the jigsaw clamp and secure firmly before operating.
-
Set the jigsaw to a medium speed with low to medium orbital setting for hardwood and MDF.
-
Apply steady, controlled forward pressure without forcing the blade through dense material.
-
For curved cuts in hardwood, feed slowly to maintain accuracy without lateral blade stress.
-
Replace when cutting performance deteriorates or teeth show visible wear.
Safety
-
Eye protection to EN 166 is mandatory for all jigsaw operations.
-
Wear cut-resistant gloves to EN 388 when handling and fitting blades.
-
Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
-
Never exceed the jigsaw manufacturer's recommended speed for the blade in use.
Maintenance
-
Inspect teeth before each use for chipping or damage.
-
Clean resin and MDF dust from the blade after use before storage.
-
Store blades flat in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
-
Replace when cutting performance deteriorates rather than forcing a worn blade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why use bi-metal over HCS for hardwood and MDF?
A: MDF and dense hardwood are significantly more abrasive than softwood and dull HCS teeth rapidly. Bi-metal HSS teeth maintain their edge much longer on these materials, reducing blade changes and delivering more consistent cut quality across the blade's service life.
Q: Can this blade cut timber containing embedded nails?
A: Yes. The bi-metal construction handles nail and fixing contact without fracturing, making it suitable for renovation and adaptation work where timber may contain embedded fixings.
Q: Will this blade fit my jigsaw?
A: The universal T-shank fitment is compatible with most jigsaw brands sold in the UK. Confirm your jigsaw accepts T-shank blades before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between this blade and the HCS 10 TPI softwood blade?
A: Both are 100mm 10 TPI but the bi-metal construction of this blade maintains its cutting edge significantly longer on hardwood, MDF, and engineered boards. The HCS blade is correct for softwood where cost per blade is the priority. The bi-metal blade is correct where blade life on dense materials matters more.
Q: Why should I order from CMT Group?
A: CMT Group has supplied UK construction sites since 2010 with next working day delivery on a FORS Silver accredited fleet covering 90% of the UK mainland. Orders placed online by 7pm qualify for next day delivery. CMT's EDGE portal provides agreed contract pricing for trade accounts.
