Diablo DJT118EHM Carbide Jig Saw Blade T-shank

Product Description

The DIABLO DJT118EHM is a carbide-tipped jig saw blade designed for cutting thick metal with precision and durability. At 3.25 inches in length and 0.04 inches thick, this blade features an 18 teeth-per-inch (TPI) mill tooth set that delivers clean, controlled cuts through dense ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The T-shank design provides a secure, tool-free fit in most modern jig saws. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators reach for blades like this when cutting metal conduit, duct material, pipe, or sheet stock in the field or shop.

The DJT118EHM is suited for applications involving thick metal stock where a fine-tooth, rigid blade is required to prevent deflection and blade wander. Its contour-cutting capability allows for curved and radius cuts in addition to straight lines, making it a versatile option for sheet metal work, metal framing, and general fabrication tasks. The single-blade pack is a practical replacement or spot-buy option for trade professionals who need a reliable blade on hand without overstocking.

Installation Notes

T-shank blades are installed and removed with the tool unpowered and the blade clamp mechanism released per the tool manufacturer's instructions. Always wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling or changing jig saw blades. When cutting metal, secure the workpiece firmly to prevent vibration and blade pinching. Dispose of worn carbide-tipped blades in accordance with local regulations for metal waste.
