Eagle Cutting Tool RB-1218-M 12 in 18 Tpi Bi-metal Recip Blade

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL RB-1218-M is a 12-inch bi-metal reciprocating saw blade engineered for cutting metal. The bi-metal construction pairs a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel body, allowing the blade to resist tooth breakage while flexing under load. At 18 teeth per inch (TPI), this blade is suited for cutting thin-wall tubing, conduit, pipe, sheet metal, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed tradespeople in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work will find this blade a practical choice for demolition and rough-in cutting tasks.

This blade is intended for use in residential and commercial jobsite applications where metal cutting is required. It fits standard reciprocating saws with a universal shank. Common use cases include cutting EMT conduit, copper pipe, steel pipe, and unistrut channel during rough-in or service work. The 18 TPI tooth count is appropriate for thinner-gauge metal stock where a coarser blade would produce excessive burring or tooth damage.

Key Features

• 12-inch blade length provides reach for cutting in tight or deep spaces
• 18 TPI tooth geometry optimized for thin-wall metal cutting
• Bi-metal construction combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible alloy steel body
• Universal shank compatible with standard reciprocating saw chucks
• Tooth design reduces binding and burring on metal stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for use in standard reciprocating saws accepting a universal T-shank or U-shank fit, suitable for general metal cutting applications in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

Install and remove saw blades only after the tool is powered off and unplugged or the battery pack is removed. Confirm the blade is fully seated and the chuck is locked before operation. Eye protection and gloves are recommended when handling or replacing blades, as teeth and cut edges can be sharp. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for blade speed settings appropriate to the material being cut.
