Starrett 68729 Jigsaw Blade Bi-metal 24 Tpi U-shank

Product Description

The STARRETT 68729 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade designed for precision cutting in demanding trade and professional applications. At 24 teeth per inch (TPI) with a wavy tooth set, this blade delivers clean, fine cuts in thin materials. The U-shank design provides secure tool fitment across compatible jigsaw models. Each blade measures 3 inches in length and 3/16 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.04 inches. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for blades like this when cutting conduit, plastic pipe, sheet metal, and similar thin-section materials. Sold in a five-pack.

This blade is suited for light-gauge cutting tasks where a fine tooth count controls cut quality and minimizes material tear-out. The wavy tooth set helps reduce blade bind in thin-walled or layered materials. The 3-inch blade length is appropriate for shallow-depth cuts in panel work, trim, and thin sheet stock. The U-shank configuration fits a wide range of consumer and professional jigsaws that accept universal shank blades. Installation requires no tools beyond the jigsaw itself and takes seconds.
