Freud DS1210CF3 12 Inch Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 3 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS1210CF3 is a 3-pack of 12-inch carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blades engineered specifically for cutting medium metals and high-strength alloys. Each blade delivers up to 50 times longer cutting life compared to standard bi-metal blades in medium metal cutting applications. The carbide-tipped tooth design produces cleaner, smoother cuts through metal, while an increased blade body height reduces vibration and promotes straighter tracking throughout the cut. These blades are suited for demanding trade applications where blade life and cut quality directly affect job efficiency.

These blades are designed for cutting medium metals and high-strength alloys in material thicknesses ranging from 3/32 inches to 1/4 inches. Typical applications include structural steel, angle iron, conduit, threaded rod, strut channel, and similar ferrous materials encountered in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical work. The carbide tooth geometry maintains cutting performance over extended use, making these blades a practical choice for contractors and trade professionals running high blade volume on metal fabrication or demolition tasks.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped teeth rated for up to 50 times longer life than standard bi-metal blades in medium metal applications
• Engineered specifically for medium metals and high-strength alloys from 3/32 inches to 1/4 inches thick
• Increased blade body height reduces vibration and promotes straighter cuts
• Produces cleaner, smoother cut surfaces compared to standard bi-metal reciprocating blades
• Sold as a 3-pack for cost-effective stocking on high-volume metal cutting jobs
• 12-inch blade length accommodates deep cuts in structural and framed assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard reciprocating saw blade shanks. Compatible with reciprocating saws accepting universal shank blades from major tool manufacturers. Optimized for cutting medium metals and high-strength alloys in the 3/32-inch to 1/4-inch material thickness range.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and changes should be performed with the saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Secure the blade fully in the blade clamp before operating and confirm the clamp mechanism is locked. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are recommended when handling and using carbide-tipped blades on metal. Allow the saw to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece to maximize blade life and cut quality.
