Engineered for the most punishing metal-cutting applications, these blades are designed to outlast standard general-purpose blades by up to 50 times. Whether you are cutting through thick-wall cast iron pipe, high-strength stainless steel, or hardened alloys, the Max Metal blades provide a level of heat resistance and durability that standard blades simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbide-Tipped Teeth: High-performance carbide tips are precision-welded to the blade body, allowing for efficient cutting in materials that would instantly dull or \"strip\" a standard bi-metal blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-Duty Rigid Body: With a thickness of .050\" and a height of 1\", these blades are significantly wider and thicker than standard reciprocating blades. This extra mass reduces vibration and prevents \"blade whip,\" ensuring perfectly straight cuts in dense materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 TPI Optimized Geometry: The 8 Teeth Per Inch configuration is the \"sweet spot\" for thick metal cutting - aggressive enough to remove material quickly but dense enough to handle high-torque resistance without tooth breakage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtreme Heat Resistance: Carbide stays hard at temperatures that melt standard high-speed steel, making these ideal for continuous, high-speed production cutting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Application: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Thick Metal, Large Diameter Pipe, Structural Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ITM Max Metal series is designed to Cut Faster and Cut Longer. While the upfront cost is higher than bi-metal, the cost-per-cut is drastically lower because a single Max Metal blade can often finish a job that would consume an entire pack of standard blades. They are made in the USA and proudly manufactured to industrial standards for the professional trades. The 1\/2\" universal shank fits all major reciprocating saws, and these are the go-to blades for plumbing demolition (cast iron stacks) and heavy mechanical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ITM Tools","offers":[{"title":"8 TPI \/ 6in","offer_id":46933186838677,"sku":"CT6","price":16.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 TPI \/ 9in","offer_id":46933186871445,"sku":"CT9","price":24.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/1998\/6581\/files\/CT9.png?v=1770320785","url":"https:\/\/www.upsidedownsupply.com\/products\/max-metal-cutting-recip-blades","provider":"Up Side Down Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
