Jigsaw blade Bosch T 234 X High carbon steel for Chipboard Plywood

The Bosch T 234 X jigsaw blade is made of high carbon steel (HCS) and is intended for cutting chipboard, wood-core plywood, fibre boards and softwood. With a total length of 117 mm and a cutting capacity for softwood from 3 to 65 mm, this blade is suitable for a range of woodworking tasks where a combination of durability and clean cuts is required.

Advantages

The ground tooth design with taper ground teeth ensures fast, clean cutting through both thin and thick workpieces. High carbon steel construction provides good toughness for repeated use. The 2–3 mm tooth spacing balances cutting speed and surface quality, and the T 234 X geometry is optimised for chipboard and plywood materials.

Suitable for

• Cutting chipboard and particleboard
• Cutting wood-core plywood
• Cutting fibre boards
• Cross and rip cuts in softwood (3–65 mm)

How to use

Install the T 234 X blade into a compatible jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is securely clamped and oriented for forward cutting. Select an appropriate speed for the material—moderate speeds for chipboard and plywood to reduce splintering, and higher speeds for softwood. Make steady, even feed movements through the workpiece without forcing the blade to preserve tooth life and achieve a clean cut.

Usage recommendations

For best results on chipboard and plywood, support the workpiece close to the cut line and, if edge splintering is a concern, use masking tape over the cut line or cut from the protected side to minimize tear-out.
