  2. HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT BLADE FOR A RECIPROCATING SAW? Reciprocating saws are one of the foremost versatile tools available. A part of that versatility comes from the vast array of blades available for cutting through a good range of materials. With the proper blade, a saw can traverse wood, fiberglass, plaster, masonry, and metals, including aluminum, cast iron, steel, and even high-strength alloys.

  3. BLADE MATERIAL • High Steel (HCS) • Carbon steel blades are the main inexpensive type and also the foremost common. They're the softest of the blade materials and tend to be more flexible to permit bending without breaking within the proper application. That also makes them the smallest amount durable. • High-Speed Steel (HSS) • High-speed steel blades are made with a tempering process that creates them more heat-resistant and sturdy than their steel counterparts. These blades last up to five times longer than steel blades. The hardness of the HSS blades makes them less flexible and thus more susceptible to breaking when bent.

  4. Bi-Metal • Bi-Metal Blades include a high-carbon steel body for flexibility and break resistance and hot-work steel teeth for heat resistance, hardness, and sturdiness. Bi-metal blades last ten times longer than steel blades. While the value slightly quiets HSS or HCS blades, they provide flexibility and toughness for more demanding applications. • Carbide-Tipped • Carbide-tipped Sawzall blades also are bi-metal blades, but with a carbide (tungsten carbide or titanium carbide) tip at the top of every tooth. These carbide blades are tough, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant. They also offer 20 times the cutting life of a typical bi-metal blade.

  5. Carbide Grit • Carbide grit blades (typically tungsten carbide) do not have teeth, sort of a traditional Sawzall blade. They need an abrasive strip used for cutting dense materials like ceramic tile, cement, brick, marble, other stone, and masonry. The carbide grit's hardness allows it to chop these materials without damaging them or wearing them out prematurely. • Diamond • Diamond blades also are abrasive but use diamonds rather than carbide. These are the foremost expensive saber saw blades. They're used to cut concrete, glass, fiberglass, and ceramic and cut fiber cement, cast iron, and masonry. The hardness of diamonds and the abrasive grit's fineness are essential to chopping brittle material like glass and hard and dense material like concrete.
