Starrett 68748 Bi-metal Jig Saw Blade Set 5 Piece

Product Description

The STARRETT 68748 is a five-piece bi-metal jig saw blade set covering a range of cutting applications from fine to aggressive. Blades in this set run from 3 inches to 5 inches in length and offer tooth pitches from 6 to 14 teeth per inch (TPI), giving technicians and tradespeople the flexibility to cut through wood, plastics, and light metals without switching to a different set. Blade width ranges from 3/16 inches to 3/8 inches, and thickness ranges from 0.04 inches to 0.05 inches. All blades use a U-shank mount for broad jig saw compatibility.

This set suits residential and light commercial work where a single kit needs to handle varied material cuts. The assortment includes five distinct tooth configurations: ground alternate, ground taper, wavy, and two alternate sets. Carpenters, remodelers, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who use a jig saw for rough or finish cuts will find this set practical for on-the-job use. The compact set is well-suited to a tool bag or service vehicle.

Compatibility

Designed for use with U-shank jig saws. Compatible saw models are not specified by the manufacturer for this set; verify U-shank acceptance on your jig saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade changes should be performed with the jig saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. U-shank blades seat into the blade clamp and typically require no tools beyond those built into the saw's tool-less change mechanism. Ensure the blade is fully engaged and locked before operating. Dispose of worn blades safely to prevent puncture injuries.
