Freud DS1203CP3 12 Inch Carbide Wood Reciprocating Blade 3 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS1203CP3 is a 3-pack of 12-inch carbide-tipped reciprocating blades from the Diablo Demo Demon line, designed for fast cutting in pruning and clean wood applications. Each blade features an aggressive carbide tooth geometry that delivers cutting life rated up to 50 times longer than standard bi-metal blades. Large gullets and an oversized, reinforced blade body promote rapid chip removal during demanding cuts. A Perma-Shield non-stick coating reduces gumming and friction, keeping cuts fast and consistent even in resinous or dense wood. These blades are installed by carpenters, remodeling contractors, arborists, and demo crews.

These reciprocating blades are suited for residential and light commercial demolition, rough framing teardown, and pruning of green or seasoned wood. The 12-inch length provides reach in deep or confined cuts where shorter blades fall short. The carbide tooth geometry holds an edge in abrasive wood materials, reducing blade changes and downtime on the job. The 3-pack format supports extended work sessions without interruption.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and changes must be performed with the reciprocating saw powered off and the battery removed or the tool unplugged. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling carbide-tipped blades, as tooth edges are sharp. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for blade clamping and shank engagement before operating. Inspect each blade for cracks or damaged teeth before use and discard any blade that shows deformation.
