Jigsaw blade Bosch T 218 A BASIC, HSS, for thin stainless steel sheet, 92 mm, 5 pcs

Jigsaw blade Bosch T 218 A BASIC is a set of five HSS blades designed specifically for cutting thin stainless steel sheet. Each blade measures 92 mm in length and features a fine tooth pitch (approximately 1.1–1.5 mm) suitable for precise, narrow kerf cutting and curve work in thin metal. The blades use a T-shank connection compatible with most modern jigsaws and are supplied in a blister pack for convenient storage and selection.

Advantages

These HSS blades provide high hardness and wear resistance required for cutting stainless steel and other thin sheet metals. The milled teeth with a wavy set reduce clogging and help maintain a clean cut on narrow radii. A fine tooth spacing produces smoother edges and reduces burr formation compared with coarse blades, while the uniform length and geometry ensure consistent performance across the set.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin stainless steel sheets (approx. 1–3 mm)
• Making curved and contour cuts in thin metal
• Workshop sheet metal fabrication and light fabrication tasks
• Fine metal trimming and retrofit work where narrow kerf is required

Key specifications

• Blade material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Blade length: 92 mm
• Tooth design: milled teeth with wavy set
• Tooth spacing: approx. 1.1–1.5 mm (fine pitch)
• Shank type: T-shank compatible with standard jigsaws
• Pack quantity: 5 blades

How to use

Install the blade into the jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the T-shank engages securely. Clamp the workpiece to prevent movement and mark cutting lines clearly. Use moderate feed pressure and allow the blade to cut at its own pace to avoid overheating; for stainless steel, use cutting lubricant or coolant when appropriate. For curved cuts, reduce speed and follow the marked line steadily to preserve blade life and edge quality. After cutting, deburr edges if necessary with a file or deburring tool.

Usage recommendations

For best results on thin stainless steel (1–3 mm), run the jigsaw at medium to high stroke rate with steady feed and consider light cutting fluid to extend blade life. Avoid excessive side load when cutting tight curves to prevent premature tooth wear or breakage. Store blades in the original blister pack to protect teeth and maintain organization in the workshop.
