At 4 inches in length and 5\/16 inches wide with a 0.05-inch thickness, this blade is built to handle a range of materials without premature fatigue or tooth stripout. It features a U-shank mount and a toothed cutting edge with an alternate tooth set at 6 teeth per inch (TPI), making it well-suited for aggressive, fast cuts through wood and similar materials. Sold in a pack of 5, it is a practical stocking choice for tradespeople who run through blades regularly on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is appropriate for residential and light commercial cutting tasks where a U-shank jigsaw is in use. The 6 TPI configuration favors faster, coarser cuts over fine finish work, making it a good fit for rough framing cuts, general carpentry, and material removal. The bi-metal construction combines a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel body, reducing the risk of blade breakage during aggressive or curved cuts. This product is not rated for contour cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction for extended blade life under heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 TPI with alternate tooth set for fast, aggressive material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eU-shank mount for broad jigsaw tool compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch blade length with 5\/16-inch width and 0.05-inch thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToothed cutting edge for clean, consistent stroke performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a 5-pack for jobsite convenience and stocking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with U-shank jigsaws.
