Diablo DJT118AHM Carbide Grit Jig Saw Blade T-shank

Product Description

The DIABLO DJT118AHM is a carbide-tipped jig saw blade engineered for cutting thin metal. It features a grit-style cutting edge and a universal T-shank that seats securely in most modern jig saws. The blade measures 3.25 inches in length and 0.04 inches thick, with a mill tooth set and 24 teeth per inch for controlled, precise cuts through sheet metal, metal pipe, and similar thin-gauge ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Contour cutting capability allows the blade to follow curved layouts without binding. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly reach for this type of blade when making field cuts in ductwork, conduit, or metal framing.

The DJT118AHM is suited for residential and light commercial service work where fine, controlled metal cutting is required. Its 24 TPI carbide grit configuration reduces tooth stripping on thin stock and extends blade life compared to standard bi-metal blades in the same application. Single-blade packaging makes it a practical addition to a service tech's tool bag for on-demand replacement without excess inventory.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped grit cutting edge for extended life in thin metal cutting
• 24 teeth per inch for fine, controlled cuts with minimal burr
• T-shank fits most standard and orbital jig saws without a tool-key
• Mill tooth set reduces deflection and improves cut quality in thin-gauge stock
• Contour cutting capability supports curved and radius cuts in sheet metal
• Blade thickness of 0.04 inches minimizes kerf loss and heat buildup

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-shank jig saws in thin metal cutting applications including sheet metal, metal pipe, and light-gauge metal framing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trades using T-shank jig saws; always power down and unplug the tool before changing blades. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or replacing jig saw blades. Secure the workpiece properly before cutting to prevent movement and blade deflection. Follow all applicable safety guidelines for portable power tool use on the job site.
