American Saw Mfg Co 20586S156R Bimetal Recip Saw Blade 12in 6T

Product Description

The AMERICAN SAW MFG CO 20586S156R is a 12-inch bimetal reciprocating saw blade engineered for rough cutting work in wood. Measuring 12 inches in length, 3/4 inches in width, and 0.050 inches in thickness, this blade carries a 6-tooth-per-inch configuration that drives fast, aggressive cuts through dimensional lumber, framing material, and rough wood stock. The bimetal construction pairs a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel body, giving the blade resistance to breakage under the lateral stress common in demolition and rough-in work. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in applications will find this blade suited to cutting through wood framing and blocking during installation work.

This blade is intended for rough wood cutting applications where speed matters more than finish quality. Typical use cases include framing demolition, opening walls for pipe or duct runs, cutting wood blocking during mechanical rough-in, and general construction site teardown work. The 6-tooth configuration removes material quickly, making it a practical choice for production cutting in residential and light commercial settings where a clean cut edge is not required.

Key Features

• Bimetal construction for durability and flexibility under load
• 6 teeth per inch for fast, aggressive rough wood cutting
• 12-inch blade length accommodates deep cuts through thick stock
• 0.050-inch blade thickness provides lateral stiffness during cuts

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes should be performed by qualified tradespeople with the saw unplugged or the battery pack removed before handling the blade. Use the saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure and ensure the blade is fully seated and locked in the chuck before operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating reciprocating saws. Follow applicable jobsite safety codes when cutting near existing utilities or structural members.
