Starrett 68731 Jigsaw Blade Bi-metal 32 Tpi U-shank 5 Pack

Product Description

The STARRETT 68731 is a bi-metal jigsaw blade engineered for clean, precise cuts in thin materials. Running at 32 teeth per inch with a wavy tooth set, this blade delivers fine, controlled cuts that minimize burring and material tear-out. The blade measures 3 inches in length and 0.3125 inches (5/16 inches) in width with a blade thickness of 0.04 inches. It uses a U-Shank mount, making it compatible with a wide range of consumer and professional-grade jigsaw tools. Each package contains 5 blades. This blade is installed and used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need accurate jigsaw cutting in tight or finish-sensitive applications.

The 68731 is suited for cutting thin metals, plastics, and similar materials where a high tooth count is needed to maintain cut quality and reduce chipping. At 32 TPI with a wavy set, it performs best in straight or gently curved cuts rather than tight contour work. Typical use cases include conduit notching, panel cutouts, trim work, and finish cuts in sheet stock. This blade ships in a 5-piece pack, making it practical for ongoing service work where blade replacement is routine.

Installation Notes

Inspect the blade clamp mechanism for wear before seating the new blade. Discard blades that show cracks, missing teeth, or visible deformation.
