Reciprocating saw blade BAHCO 3946-457-2-CB-1P — 457 mm length, 2 TPI

BAHCO 3946-457-2-CB-1P reciprocating saw blade is a 457 mm long coarse-pitch blade with 2 TPI designed for aggressive cutting in reciprocating and saber saws. Built for fast material removal, this blade is intended for demolition and construction tasks where rapid progress through wood and other soft materials is required. The straight design and robust teeth geometry enable efficient plunge cuts and through-cuts while maintaining cutting speed on large cross-sections.

Advantages

The coarse 2 TPI tooth spacing provides quick cutting and high material removal rate, reducing cutting time on thick or soft substrates. The blade length of 457 mm increases reach and cutting depth, allowing access to deeper beams and framing elements without changing tools. Hardened tooth edges retain sharpness under heavy load, and the universal shank interface works with most common reciprocating saws for straightforward blade changes. Overall, the blade balances speed and durability for rough cutting applications.

Suitable for

• Demolition and deconstruction of wooden structures
• Rough cutting of dimensional lumber and timber
• Cutting soft materials and large cross-sections quickly
• Plunge cuts where aggressive material removal is needed

Key specifications

• Blade length: 457 mm
• Tooth pitch: 2 teeth per inch (coarse)
• Compatible tool type: reciprocating/saber saws
• Application focus: fast, aggressive cutting of wood and soft materials
• Cut type: through-cuts and plunge cuts on large sections

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible reciprocating or saber saw following the saw manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the shank is securely locked. Use appropriate cutting speed and steady feed pressure; the coarse tooth pitch is intended for rapid removal rather than fine finishing, so allow the blade to cut without forcing to avoid bending. For plunge cuts, start at a slow stroke to seat the teeth, then increase speed as the cut progresses. Replace the blade when cutting performance decreases or visible wear appears on the teeth.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear eye and hearing protection, and use gloves to protect hands from vibration and sharp edges. Match blade speed and feed to the material—higher speeds and moderate feed suit soft wood and large cross-sections. Avoid using the blade on hard metals or abrasive materials to prevent premature wear; select a finer-pitched or bi-metal blade for metal cutting applications.
