Starrett 68725 Jigsaw Blade Bi-metal 14 Tpi U-shank 5 Pack

Product Description

The STARRETT 68725 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade designed for controlled, accurate cutting in a wide range of materials. At 3 inches in length and 3/16 inches wide with a 0.04-inch blade thickness, this blade is built for tight-radius and detail work where rigidity and edge retention matter. The 14 teeth per inch (TPI) count with a wavy tooth set delivers smooth, controlled cuts while reducing vibration and blade wander. The U-shank mount fits standard jigsaw collets used across the trade. Each package contains 5 blades, making this a practical stocking unit for service vehicles and shop benches alike.

This blade is suited for finish carpentry, HVAC duct cutouts, electrical rough-in work, plumbing penetrations, and general trade cutting tasks where a short, fine-tooth blade is needed. The bi-metal construction combines a high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel back, giving the blade durability under repeated use without snapping under lateral stress. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable jigsaw blade for cuts in wood, thin metal, plastic, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with power tool blade changes. Always disconnect the jigsaw from its power source before removing or installing a blade. Confirm the U-shank seats fully and locks securely in the blade clamp before operation. Inspect the blade for cracks or worn teeth before each use and replace as needed.
