Starrett 68724 Bi-metal Jigsaw Blade 14 Tpi U-shank 5-pack

Product Description

The STARRETT 68724 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade designed for demanding cutting tasks where blade durability and consistent tooth performance are required. At 14 teeth per inch with a wavy tooth set, this blade delivers controlled, clean cuts through a range of materials. The blade measures 3 inches in length and 5/16 inches in width with a 0.04-inch thickness. The U-shank design seats securely in compatible jigsaw tools. Sold in a pack of five, this blade is a practical stocking choice for contractors, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who run through blades regularly on job sites.

This blade is suited for applications where a mid-range TPI count is appropriate, such as cutting through wood, plastics, or thin ferrous materials in trade and construction environments. The toothed cutting edge and wavy tooth set help reduce binding and improve chip clearance during the cut. The 3-inch blade length provides adequate reach for most standard jigsaw cutting operations in residential and light commercial work.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the jigsaw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Ensure the U-shank is fully seated and the blade retention mechanism is engaged before operating the tool. Standard PPE including eye protection is recommended when operating jigsaw equipment. Blade selection should match the material being cut — 14 TPI is generally appropriate for wood and softer materials, while harder materials may require a different TPI.
