Starrett 16984 Bi-metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 6 in 3 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 16984 is a bi-metal reciprocating saw blade designed for demanding cutting tasks in trade and industrial applications. The blade measures 6 inches in length with a constant-pitch, 3 teeth per inch (TPI) configuration, making it suited for aggressive cuts through thick or dense materials. The tapered profile and angled tip allow controlled entry and maneuvering during cuts. At 0.050 inches thick, the blade offers a balance of rigidity and flex resistance. This item is sold as a 2-pack. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors use blades of this type for rough-in work and material removal.

This blade is a fit for reciprocating saws equipped with a universal shank interface, which is the standard fitment on most major saw platforms. The 3 TPI tooth count targets soft metals, wood with nails, and coarse demolition-style cuts rather than fine finish work. The Bearcat tooth form is designed for faster material removal in each stroke. It is a practical choice for trade work where speed of cut matters more than surface finish.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction for durability and resistance to blade fatigue
• 6-inch blade length for reach in standard reciprocating saw applications
• 3 TPI constant-pitch pattern for aggressive, fast material removal
• Tapered profile with angled tip for controlled plunge and maneuvering
• Bearcat tooth form engineered for high stock-removal rate per stroke
• Universal shank fits most reciprocating saw brands and models

Compatibility

Designed for use with reciprocating saws that accept a universal shank blade. This shank type is compatible with the majority of professional-grade reciprocating saw platforms in common trade use.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the saw unplugged or battery removed. Confirm the universal shank is fully seated and the blade clamp is secured before operation. Eye protection is required when operating a reciprocating saw. Check blade condition before each use and replace if teeth are stripped or the blade shows visible cracks.
