 MAKITA A-85690 B-Type Jigsaw Blade No.B-17, Length 105 mm, 6 TPI (Pack of 5) for Softwood, Plywood, and Thick Plastic
The MAKITA A-85690 B-17 jigsaw blade set is a T-shank blade set designed for woodworking that requires maneuverable cutting with an emphasis on working speed. The blades are made from High Carbon Steel (HCS), which provides high flexibility and good resistance to torsional stress during curved cuts. This blade model features coarse 6  TPI (Teeth Per Inch) gearing, which is relatively coarse, enabling efficient chip evacuation and maximizing cutting speed. The teeth are ground and side set to help create a kerf wide enough for easy turning and curved cuts. It is ideal for craftsmen who need to cut workpieces into shapes quickly, even with a relatively coarse cut surface.

Specifications
- Maximum fast cutting: Coarse 6  TPI teeth focused on high-speed cutting performance
- Scroll cutting capability: Teeth and tooth setting are designed for agile curved and contour cutting
- Long blade: Suitable for cutting relatively thick materials up to 60  mm
