Heavy Metal Cutting Recip Blades - Bulk

When standard metal recip blades start to smoke and dull, the Heavy Metal series blades takes charge. These are not your average "all-purpose" metal blades; they are specifically engineered for high-performance cutting in heavier gauge metals ranging from 1/8" to 1/2" thick. With a higher TPI and a reinforced blade body, these blades provide the perfect balance between speed and finish, making them the industry standard for mechanical, plumbing, and structural steel applications. This 50-piece bulk pack is the ultimate value for contractors who need consistent, Made-in-USA quality at a high-volume price point. These blades are priced by the piece, and are bulk packed by the box of 50.

• Bi-Metal with Cobalt Alloy: The cutting edge is composed of high-speed steel with a high cobalt concentration. This allows the teeth to retain their hardness and "bite" even when subjected to the intense friction heat generated by thick structural steel.
• Heavy-Duty 1in Width and .042in Thickness: Unlike thinner blades that "wander" or whip under pressure, the HM614 features a thicker profile to ensure a straighter, more accurate square cut - essential when prepping pipe for welding or threading.
• Optimized TPIs: Designed specifically for thick-walled materials, the optimal tooth count ensures that at least three teeth are in contact with the material at all times, preventing "snagging" and tooth strippage.
• Shatter-Resistant Backing: A flexible alloy steel backing plate absorbs the vibration and impact of heavy-duty cutting, allowing the blade to bend without snapping.
• Primary Applications: These Heavy Metal blades are the preferred choice for professionals working with structural steel, angle iron, I-beams, heavy-gauge plate, thick-wall pipe, black iron pipe, galvanized pipe, and heavy copper tubing, stainless steel, high-alloy metals that would quickly destroy standard carbon or basic bi-metal blades, and HVAC/mechanical materials like heavy-duty ductwork and industrial fasteners.
