Freud DS0612BW2 Reciprocating Blade 6in 6-12T Bi-metal 2 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS0612BW2 is a 2-pack of 6-inch, 6-12 tooth bi-metal reciprocating blades from the Diablo Demo Demon line. Each blade features a plunge tip design and an ultra-hardened bi-metal cutting edge built to handle demanding demolition applications. The bi-metal construction — combining a hardened high-speed steel cutting edge with a fatigue-resistant alloy steel body — delivers up to 4 times longer life compared to standard reciprocating blades. These are professional-grade blades suited for carpenters, remodelers, and demo crews who need consistent performance cutting through mixed materials including embedded fasteners.

These blades are specifically engineered for cutting wood, wood composites, and nail-embedded wood — the material combination that destroys standard blades fastest. They are a strong fit for residential and light commercial demolition work: framing tear-outs, window and door removal, subfloor demo, and any application where nails, screws, or staples are likely to be encountered mid-cut. The plunge tip design allows for entry cuts in flat material without a pre-drilled starter hole, speeding up workflow on the job site.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with ultra-hardened cutting edge for up to 4x longer blade life vs. standard blades
• 6-12 TPI variable tooth pitch balances fast cutting and control in wood and composites
• Plunge tip design enables starter cuts in flat stock without a pilot hole
• Optimized for nail-embedded wood — maintains edge integrity through fastener contact
• Sold as a 2-pack, reducing changeover frequency on high-volume demo work

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or bulk-stock reciprocating blade compatible with standard reciprocating saws accepting universal shank (also called universal T-shank or universal fit) blades. Suitable for cutting wood, wood composites, and nail-embedded wood applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes must be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed. Use the reciprocating saw's tool-free or keyed blade clamp mechanism per the saw manufacturer's instructions. Verify the blade shank seats fully and locks before powering on. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are appropriate PPE when handling and changing reciprocating blades.
