The bi-metal construction combines a hardened high-speed steel tooth edge with a flexible alloy steel body, allowing the blade to resist tooth breakage while flexing under load without snapping. At 18 teeth per inch with a variable pitch pattern, this blade is suited for controlled cuts through metal pipe, conduit, sheet metal, and similar materials. The universal shank provides broad tool compatibility, and the tapered profile with an angled tip aids in plunge cuts and tight-access work. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades will find this a practical addition to standard reciprocating saw setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is applicable in residential and light commercial service work where cutting metal pipe, threaded rod, conduit, or strapping is part of routine installation or demolition. The 18 TPI tooth count and variable pitch reduce vibration and chatter during metal cutting, making it suitable for controlled demolition scenarios and standard rough-in work. The toothed, angled-tip blade is particularly useful for plunge-starting cuts in tight spaces or flush-cutting applications commonly encountered during service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction for extended tooth life and blade flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch blade length for deep or reach-limited cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 TPI with variable pitch pattern to reduce vibration during metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal shank fits most standard reciprocating saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered profile with angled tip supports plunge cuts and flush cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.050-inch blade thickness provides a balance of rigidity and flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use blade compatible with most reciprocating saws accepting a universal shank, including corded and cordless models commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade changes should be performed with the saw unplugged or the battery removed.
