Starrett 68727 Bi-metal Jigsaw Blade 18 Tpi U-shank 5 Pack

Product Description

The STARRETT 68727 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade designed for precise, controlled cutting in metal and other hard materials. Running at 18 teeth per inch (TPI) with a wavy tooth set, it delivers fine, clean cuts where accuracy matters. The blade measures 5 inches in length and 0.375 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.04 inches. It features a U-shank for broad compatibility with standard jigsaw tools. This blade is sold in a pack of 5, making it a practical stock item for trade professionals and service technicians who use jigsaws regularly on the job.

This blade suits applications requiring fine metal cutting, including HVAC sheet metal work, conduit cutting, electrical panel work, and general plumbing or mechanical service tasks where a jigsaw is the tool of choice. The 18 TPI count and wavy tooth set make it well suited for thin-gauge metals and materials where a coarser blade would tear or snag. The toothed cutting edge provides consistent, controlled material removal through the cut stroke.
