Who Is This For?
Joiners, site carpenters, flooring contractors, and general construction trades who carry out regular softwood and sheet timber cutting with a jigsaw. Suited to trades cutting softwood framing, plywood panels, and sheet materials where a clean, controlled cut finish is required.
Typical Applications
-
Cutting softwood framing and studwork to length and profile during construction work
-
Cutting plywood and sheet timber panels during flooring, decking, and cladding installation
-
Cutting curved and intricate profiles in softwood during joinery and fitting work
-
Cutting MDF and chipboard sheet material during kitchen, furniture, and fitting installation
-
General site timber cutting where a jigsaw is more practical than a circular or reciprocating saw
How to Use
-
Confirm your jigsaw accepts a universal T-shank fitment before fitting the blade.
-
Insert the blade into the jigsaw's blade clamp and secure firmly before operating.
-
Set the jigsaw to the correct orbital and speed setting for softwood cutting.
-
Apply light, steady forward pressure and allow the 10 TPI teeth to cut without forcing.
-
For curved cuts, feed slowly and allow the blade to follow the cut line without lateral forcing.
-
Replace the blade 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 timber 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: What materials can this blade cut?
A: This blade is optimised for softwood, plywood, and general sheet timber. It will cut MDF and chipboard but for sustained hardwood cutting a bi-metal blade is the correct specification as HCS dulls faster on dense hardwood.
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 10 TPI and 6 TPI for softwood cutting?
A: The 10 TPI blade produces a smoother, cleaner cut finish on softwood with less splintering. The 6 TPI blade cuts faster but leaves a rougher edge. Use 10 TPI where cut quality matters and 6 TPI where cutting speed is the priority on rough cuts.
Q: Why choose HCS over bi-metal for softwood?
A: HCS is the correct specification for clean softwood where nail contact is not expected. It provides good flexibility and durability at a lower cost per blade than bi-metal. For timber containing embedded nails or fixings, bi-metal is the correct specification.
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.
