{"product_id":"heavy-metal-cutting-recip-blades","title":"Heavy Metal Cutting Recip Blades","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShatter-Resistant Backing: A flexible alloy steel backing plate absorbs the vibration and impact of heavy-duty cutting, allowing the blade to bend without snapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ITM Tools","offers":[{"title":"14 TPI \/ 6in","offer_id":46933779480725,"sku":"HM614","price":4.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 TPI \/ 12in","offer_id":46933779513493,"sku":"HM1214","price":7.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 TPI \/ 12in","offer_id":46933779546261,"sku":"HM1218","price":7.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 TPI \/ 6in","offer_id":46933779579029,"sku":"HM618","price":4.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 TPI \/ 9in","offer_id":46933779611797,"sku":"HM914","price":6.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 TPI \/ 9in","offer_id":46933779644565,"sku":"HM918","price":6.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/1998\/6581\/files\/HM614.png?v=1770325398","url":"https:\/\/www.upsidedownsupply.com\/products\/heavy-metal-cutting-recip-blades","provider":"Up Side Down Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
