MAKITA D-51661 Reciprocating Saw Blade 225 mm 18 TPI Bi-Metal (Pack of 2) for Metal Pipe, PVC Pipe

MAKITA D-51661 Reciprocating Saw Blade Length 225 mm 18 TPI BIM (Pack of 2)
The blade is made of Bi-Metal (BIM) material, combining the sharpness and hardness of High Speed Steel (HSS) teeth with the high flexibility of a High Carbon Steel (HCS) body. This results in superior break resistance and a long service life when cutting through hard metals that generate high heat.With an 18 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth count, it is classified as a medium-to-fine tooth pitch that strikes a balance between cutting speed and cut smoothness, making it well-suited for cutting thick steel sheets and thick-walled pipes.

Specifications
- Suitable for large and thick workpieces, allowing deep and stable reach and cuts through the material.
- Provides good cutting speed for thick materials while maintaining appropriate fineness for thick sheet metal.
- Offers high wear and impact resistance, with a longer service life than conventional HCS saw blades when cutting metal.
- Relatively thin blade helps reduce material loss and enables faster cutting.
- Capable of cutting metal pipes up to 175 mm, making it a versatile tool for construction and plumbing work.

Applications & Usage
- Plumbing and installation work: Used for cutting large metal pipes (e.g., steel pipes, copper pipes, aluminum pipes).
- Construction and structural steel work: Used for cutting medium-to-thick sheet metal (1.5 - 4 mm) and structural steel.
- Maintenance and demolition work: Used for cutting nails, screws, or metal components embedded in other materials.
- Cutting metal profiles and round pipes: Ideal for cutting large-diameter pipes.
