Freud DJT118AHM 24 Tpi Jig Saw Blade Thin Metal 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DJT118AHM is a 3-1/4 inch, 24 TPI carbide T-shank jig saw blade engineered for cutting thin metal. Sold in a 5-pack, it is marketed under the Diablo line and built around a high-performance carbide strip that delivers up to 50 times longer cutting life compared to standard jig saw blades. A perma-shield non-stick coating is applied to the blade body to reduce heat and pitch buildup during the cut, resulting in faster, cleaner strokes through sheet metal and thin stock. Licensed tradespeople and experienced contractors handling metal fabrication, ductwork trimming, or thin-sheet cutting tasks are the primary users of this blade.

This blade is designed for thin metal applications, covering material thicknesses from 1/64 inch to 3/64 inch. It is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use where precise, controlled cuts in thin metal are required. The T-shank design provides secure tool-free blade clamping in modern jig saws, and compatibility extends to both cordless and corded tools across combo and most U-shank configurations. HVAC technicians trimming sheet metal duct sections and electricians cutting thin panel material will find this blade well-matched to those tasks.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and replacement should be performed with the jig saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Insert the T-shank into the blade clamp until it seats fully and the locking mechanism engages before applying power. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling or changing blades. Confirm the blade is rated for the material thickness before starting the cut to avoid blade deflection or premature wear.
