It measures 5 inches in total length and runs at 6 teeth per inch, making it a versatile choice for mixed-material cutting tasks. The blade features a patent-pending unified shank design that fits both universal shank and Bosch shank jig saws, eliminating the need to stock separate blades for different tool brands. At 0.050 inches thick and 3\/8 inches wide, the bu46 is dimensionally suited to standard residential and light commercial cutting applications. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general trade professionals commonly reach for jig saw blades like this during rough-in and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bu46 is used across a wide range of cutting scenarios where a single blade must handle multiple workpiece materials. It is well suited for cutting steel pipe and sheet metal, non-ferrous stock, cast iron fittings, plastic conduit or pipe, and wood. The alternate tooth form delivers a clean, controlled cut across these material types. Tradespeople who frequently switch between material types on a single job site will find the unified shank compatibility especially practical, as one blade fits the most common jig saw platforms without adapter hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatent-pending shank fits both universal shank and Bosch shank jig saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 TPI alternate tooth form for versatile multi-material cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inches total length, 3\/8 inches wide, 0.050 inches thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steel (ISO P), non-ferrous (ISO N), cast iron (ISO K), plastics, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProposition 65 compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit jig saws that accept a universal shank or a Bosch shank.

Follow the tool manufacturer's blade-change procedure and ensure the blade is fully seated and locked in the chuck before operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling saw blades. When cutting metal, secure the workpiece firmly to prevent vibration and blade deflection.\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\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.050 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alternate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fits Both Universal Shank and Bosch Shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorkpiece Material Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel (ISO P), Non-Ferrous (ISO N), Cast Iron (ISO K), Plastics, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProposition 65\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\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: bu46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524717183282,"sku":"BU46","price":25.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c9ebf4c1eae5e3e44087aea23d3dddb0.jpg?v=1785456233","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-bu46-bi-metal-jig-saw-blade-5-inches-6-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
