Lenox 118R Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 18 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 118R METAL is a bi-metal reciprocating saw blade engineered for repetitive, everyday cutting of metal on the jobsite. Built with WAVE EDGE technology, this blade is designed to extend service life compared to earlier LENOX generations. The high-speed steel edge maintains cutting performance through demanding work cycles, while the steel backing reduces breakage under lateral stress. Sold individually, the blade measures 12 inches in length with an 18 TPI configuration optimized for clean, controlled cuts through metal stock, pipe, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This is a workhorse blade intended for tradespeople who run reciprocating saws hard every day.

This blade is suited for cutting metal in residential and commercial service and construction applications. Typical use cases include cutting conduit, pipe, strut, sheet metal, and structural steel members during mechanical, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work. The 18 TPI tooth count is appropriate for medium-wall tubing and solid stock where a balance of cut speed and surface quality is needed. At 12 inches in length, the blade provides adequate reach for most trade cutting scenarios including flush cuts and plunge cuts in confined spaces.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Confirm the blade clamp mechanism is fully engaged before operating the saw. Inspect the blade for cracks, missing teeth, or warping before each use and replace if damage is found. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting metal with a reciprocating saw.
