Description
The Makita Bi Metal Reciprocating Blade is a high-performance saw blade designed for heavy-duty cutting tasks involving wood, metal, and plasterboard. Built for use with Makita popular reciprocating saw models such as the JR100 and JR101, this blade delivers exceptional performance and durability, making it an ideal choice for both professional tradespeople and dedicated DIY enthusiasts. With a length of 200 millimetres, this reciprocating blade provides an extended reach that allows deeper and more efficient cuts, especially in challenging materials. It features a 14 teeth per inch tooth profile, designed to deliver clean, smooth cuts in a variety of applications including wood with embedded nails, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and even plasterboard. The blade is constructed from bi-metal, a fusion of two different types of steel that significantly enhances its performance and life span. Compared to high carbon steel blades, this bi-metal variant lasts up to ten times longer. The hardened edge ensures superior sharpness retention, while the flexible body resists snapping under stress, making it ideal for demanding work environments. Designed specifically for cutting through wood between 10 to 50 millimetres thick and metal between 3 to 12 millimetres, this blade is perfect for demolition, renovation, and general construction tasks. Whether you are working with framing timber, metal sheets, plaster walls, or a combination of these materials, this blade performs with precision and ease. The blade unique tooth geometry enhances cutting speed and efficiency. With two teeth facing left followed by two facing right, it optimises material removal and reduces resistance during the cut. This not only speeds up the cutting process but also reduces wear and tear on the blade and the tool itself. This feature is particularly helpful when making multiple or prolonged cuts. Full hardening and tensioning of the blade are achieved through high-speed blasting along its edge. This treatment allows the blade to absorb high-impact forces without losing its form or sharpness. It helps the blade stay flat and true during aggressive cuts, ensuring straight, precise results without deflection. Another important feature is the low vibration performance, which increases safety and comfort during use. Reduced vibration leads to better control and less user fatigue, especially when cutting harder or thicker materials. This makes the blade suitable for extended use on job sites or for intensive DIY projects at home. Finished in a chrome colour, the blade not only looks sleek but also provides additional protection against rust and corrosion, prolonging its working life. Its universal shank design ensures compatibility with most major reciprocating saw brands, making it a flexible addition to any toolkit. Makita commitment to quality and innovation is reflected in this blade design and construction. With advanced engineering and manufacturing expertise developed across 10 facilities in 8 countries, Makita consistently delivers tools and accessories that meet the needs of professional users worldwide.
