Jigsaw blades

Jigsaw blades largely determine the quality of the cut and the overall efficiency of the tool. The wide range available allows you to precisely select the blade best suited to the material being worked, optimizing speed and cut finish.

For wood, blades with large, widely spaced teeth allow for rapid cutting even on considerable thicknesses, while those with tighter teeth produce smooth, well-defined surfaces. Blades specifically designed for curved cuts have a narrower width that makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, ideal for precision work on plywood and thin panels.

Cutting metal requires blades with completely different characteristics. Fine teeth (18 to 32 teeth per inch) reduce vibration and prevent the blade from binding in the material. Bimetallic steel, with HSS teeth welded to a flexible body, ensures wear resistance and reduces the risk of breakage during particularly demanding cuts.

The universal T-shank on most Makita blades ensures compatibility with almost all jigsaw models on the market, making it easy to change and expanding your range of uses.

Blades designed for abrasive materials like drywall and fiber cement feature special coatings that extend their lifespan by reducing overheating and premature wear. Similarly, blades for plastic materials are designed with tooth geometries designed to prevent melting of the material during cutting.

Properly storing blades in dedicated containers prevents tooth damage and maintains a sharp cutting edge. Regular cleaning with compressed air removes residue that could compromise efficiency, especially after working with resinous materials.
