Milwaukee 48-42-2160 Bi-metal Jig Saw Blade 24 Tpi 5 Pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-42-2160 is a 5-pack of bi-metal jig saw blades built for metal cutting applications. Each blade measures 2.75 inches in length and runs a 24 TPI (teeth per inch) configuration, making it well suited for cutting thin-gauge sheet metal, conduit, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The U-shank mounting fits the widest range of jig saw platforms on the market. Bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel body, extending blade life compared to standard carbon steel blades while resisting breakage under side load. Sold in a 5-pack for job-site continuity.

These blades are used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need to cut metal in the field. The 24 TPI tooth pattern is aggressive enough for thin ferrous sheet and light structural stock. The U-shank design makes these a go-to option for tradespeople running universal-shank jig saws on metal rough-in work, panel access, or equipment modification tasks.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction for extended blade life and flexibility under load
• 24 TPI tooth configuration optimized for metal cutting
• 2.75-inch blade length for controlled cuts in tight areas
• U-shank mount for broad jig saw compatibility
• 5-pack quantity reduces mid-job downtime

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade set compatible with U-shank jig saws used in metal cutting applications across residential and light commercial trade work.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the jig saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Confirm the U-shank clip or clamp mechanism is fully seated and locked before operating. A licensed electrician or experienced tradesperson should follow the tool manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when cutting metal, as swarf and chip ejection are expected.
