Reciprocating Saws Carbide
Four ITM MaxMetal carbide recip blades, in 6" and 9" lengths, in 5 and 25 packs. For tough metal cutting where regular blades wear out fast, including electrical work.
Carbide recip blades
Carbide-tooth recip blades are for hard or abrasive metal, where they outlast standard blades. This collection is four ITM MaxMetal Carbide blades, all with a 1/2" universal shank.
There are two lengths, 6" and 9", each in a 5 pack and a 25 pack. All four are also listed under Electricians, since electrical crews cut pipe, conduit and strut that dull standard blades.
Cutting tips
Clamp the work down and keep the saw's shoe against it; carbide is hard but brittle, and chatter chips teeth. Use steady feed pressure, not a hard push, and cut with lubricant on thick or stubborn metal. If you mostly cut light material, the metal recip blades are the everyday option.
