Starrett 68722 Bi-metal Jigsaw Blade 10 Tpi U-shank 5-pack

Product Description

The STARRETT 68722 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications where blade life and cut quality matter. Running at 10 teeth per inch (TPI) with a ground taper tooth set, this blade delivers clean, controlled cuts in a range of materials. At 4 inches in length and 0.05 inches thick, it fits compact cutting paths while maintaining rigidity under load. The U-shank design provides secure tool engagement on standard jigsaw models. Each package contains 5 blades, making it a practical stock item for trade shops and service technicians who go through blades regularly.

This blade is suited for cutting wood, metal, and composite materials in residential and light commercial applications. The 10 TPI configuration balances cut speed and finish quality, making it appropriate for general-purpose work on framing, mechanical rough-in, and light sheet metal. The toothed cutting edge and ground taper set reduce blade drift and extend service life compared to standard carbon blades. Installers working in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in will find this a reliable everyday blade for tight-clearance jigsaw work.
