Starrett 17000 Bi-metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 12 in 6 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 17000 is a bi-metal reciprocating saw blade designed for demanding cutting applications in trade and construction environments. Measuring 12 inches in length with a 6 teeth-per-inch (TPI) constant pitch, this blade is suited for aggressive cutting through wood, wood with nails, and light demolition material. The tapered profile and angled blade tip allow for plunge cuts and contour work in confined spaces. The universal shank provides broad compatibility with most reciprocating saw platforms. Each package contains 2 blades. At 0.05 inches thick, the blade offers a balance of rigidity and flex appropriate for general-purpose reciprocating saw work.

This blade is used in residential and commercial construction, remodeling, and rough carpentry applications. The 6 TPI tooth count is optimized for fast, aggressive cuts in thicker softwood, hardwood, and dimensional lumber. It is a standard choice for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need a reliable general-purpose blade for rough-in work, pipe slot cutting, and structural material removal. The straight tooth form and constant pitch pattern deliver predictable, consistent cutting performance during extended use.
