A 100mm HCS jigsaw blade with a coarse 6 TPI tooth pattern designed for fast, aggressive cutting through softwood, rough site timber, and framing materials where cutting speed is the priority over finish quality. The 6 TPI coarse tooth profile removes material rapidly per stroke, making it the correct blade for general building tasks, framing timber, and fast rip-cutting work on site. HCS steel construction gives the blade the strength and durability to withstand the impact and flexing of demanding site use. Universal T-shank fitment is compatible with most jigsaw brands on the UK market.
Why Choose the MAXTEC HCS Jigsaw Blade 100mm 6 TPI
-
6 TPI coarse tooth profile: maximum material removal per stroke for the fastest possible cutting speed through softwood and rough site timber.
-
HCS construction: durable high carbon steel withstands the impact and flexing of demanding site cutting without fracturing.
-
Ideal for rough carpentry and framing: the coarse tooth pattern handles rough, unplaned site timber and framing materials where a finer blade would slow the cut unnecessarily.
-
Universal T-shank fitment: compatible with most jigsaw brands without an adaptor.
-
Pack of 5: trade quantity reducing per-blade cost on high-volume site timber cutting.

Fast rip-cutting softwood framing and structural timber on construction sites
-
Cutting rough site timber and pallet stock to length during general building work

Cutting softwood boarding, battens, and carcassing during structural installation
-
General rough carpentry cutting where speed is the priority over finish quality
-
Cutting plywood and sheet timber during general site work and temporary works
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 higher speed and orbital setting for fast softwood cutting.
-
Apply steady forward pressure and allow the 6 TPI teeth to cut aggressively without 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 timber resin and sawdust 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 is the difference between this blade and the 10 TPI softwood blade?
A: The 6 TPI blade cuts faster with a rougher finish, suited to rough carpentry and framing where speed is the priority. The 10 TPI blade cuts more slowly but produces a cleaner, smoother finish on softwood. Use 6 TPI for rough cuts and 10 TPI where cut quality matters.
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: Can this blade cut hardwood?
A: The 6 TPI HCS blade will cut hardwood but will dull significantly faster than on softwood. For sustained hardwood cutting, a bi-metal blade is the correct specification as it maintains its edge longer on dense materials.
Q: Can this blade cut timber containing nails?
A: No. HCS construction will fracture on nail and fixing contact. For timber containing embedded nails, use a bi-metal jigsaw blade which is specifically engineered to survive metal contact without blade failure.
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.
