At 4 inches in length and 5\/16 inches wide with a 0.05-inch blade thickness, this blade fits U-shank jigsaws and delivers a toothed cutting edge with an alternate tooth set at 8 teeth per inch (TPI). The bi-metal construction combines a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel body, resisting breakage under load while maintaining a sharp cutting edge through extended use. This blade is sold in packs of 5. It is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who rely on jigsaws for rough cuts in wood, plastic, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 68720 is appropriate for residential and light commercial job-site use wherever a U-shank jigsaw is the tool of choice. The 8 TPI count makes it well suited for general-purpose cuts in softwood, hardwood, and plastics where a balance between cut speed and surface finish is needed. At 4 inches in blade length, it handles typical material thicknesses encountered in trade work. Contour cutting is not the intended application for this blade geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction for extended blade life and resistance to breakage under flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 TPI alternate tooth set balances cut speed with surface quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eU-shank fit compatible with standard U-shank jigsaw chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToothed cutting edge for reliable, consistent performance across cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch blade length handles typical material thicknesses in trade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 5-blade pack for job-site supply continuity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply blade for U-shank jigsaws used in trade and general construction applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade changes should be performed with the jigsaw unplugged or the battery removed.
