At 18 teeth per inch with a wavy tooth set, it produces smooth cuts in thin materials and is well-suited for finish work where a clean kerf edge is required. The blade measures 3 inches in length and 3\/8 inch in width, with a 0.04-inch thickness that keeps flex in check during guided cuts. It uses a U-shank interface and features a toothed cutting edge. Each unit is sold in a package of 5 blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for use in residential and light commercial trade applications, including HVAC sheet metal trim work, electrical rough-in cutting of thin panels, and plumbing access cuts in wood or composite materials. The 18 TPI count makes it appropriate for thinner stock where a coarser blade would produce excessive tearout. Trade installers who carry a jigsaw for field cuts will recognize this blade as a standard-fitment consumable for finish and utility cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction for extended blade life compared to carbon steel alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 TPI wavy tooth set delivers smooth, controlled cuts in thin materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eU-shank mount for broad jigsaw compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch blade length handles standard depth cuts in sheet and panel materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.04-inch blade thickness minimizes deflection during guided cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 5-pack to keep replacements on hand for ongoing field work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard U-shank replacement jigsaw blade for use in jigsaws accepting U-shank tooling. No specific model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJigsaw blade changes should be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery removed before handling the blade. Use the tool manufacturer's recommended blade-change procedure for U-shank retention mechanisms. Blade selection by TPI should be matched to material thickness — thinner materials require higher TPI counts, as provided by this 18 TPI blade. Dispose of worn blades safely; bi-metal blades retain a sharp edge after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toothed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: U-Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539012256050,"sku":"68726","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/240e3afeccf93bc6bfaf61a9edfe7fa4.jpg?v=1785832811","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-68726-bi-metal-jigsaw-blade-18-tpi-u-shank-5-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
