Built in the Heavy Standard Shape (HST), the wide blade body resists bending under load, which helps maintain straighter cuts on tough materials. At 9 inches in length with a medium 8 TPI tooth pitch, this blade is sized for cutting pipes, tubes, and profiles ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm wall thickness. Carbide teeth extend blade life significantly compared to bi-metal alternatives and allow continuous operation under high heat and stress conditions. Licensed tradespeople and experienced metal fabricators working with high-strength steel will find this blade suited to the demands of production and field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is designed for reciprocating and sabre saw applications involving metal pipe, tube, and structural profiles. It performs best when paired with 18-volt cordless or corded sabre saws and is particularly well-suited for high-strength steel that would prematurely wear standard bi-metal blades. The 9-inch length and medium tooth pitch make it a practical choice for plumbers, pipefitters, ironworkers, and HVAC technicians who regularly cut through schedule pipe, EMT, or structural tubing in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy Standard Shape (HST) wide-body design resists bending for straighter cuts on tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped teeth provide long service life and sustained performance under extreme heat and stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 TPI medium tooth pitch suited for pipes, tubes, and profiles 4 mm to 12 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with high-strength steel cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal shank fits any reciprocating or sabre saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized for use with 18-volt cordless or corded sabre saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures a universal shank that fits any reciprocating saw.

Confirm the blade clamp mechanism is fully engaged before beginning a cut. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling carbide-tipped blades or cutting metal. For fieldwork governed by applicable trade codes, follow OSHA hand and power tool safety requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 TPI (medium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Standard Shape (HST)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide tipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 mm to 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 731415047823\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BAHCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3946-228-8-HST-1P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BAHCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343868395826,"sku":"3946-228-8-HST-1P","price":31.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310541891.jpg?v=1782025189","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bahco-3946-228-8-hst-1p-9in-carbide-reciprocating-blade-8tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
