Saw Blade Bosch S 1222 VF

The Bosch S 1222 VF saw blade is designed for cutting glass fibre reinforced plastic, metal, sheet metal, aluminium profiles and wood containing nails. With a total length of 300 mm and a tooth configuration milled and side-set in bimetal (BIM), the blade is suitable for flush and flexible cutting tasks where a mix of materials is present.

Advantages

The bimetal (BIM) construction and milled, side-set tooth design provide a balance of durability and cutting performance across different materials. A tooth spacing range of 1.8–2.6 mm (10–14 TPI) gives controlled chip removal and smoother cuts in thin metals and composite materials. The 300 mm total length and 0.9 mm thickness allow access in compact applications while maintaining blade stability.

Suitable for

• Wood containing nails or small metal inclusions (cut depth <250 mm)
• Sheet metals and aluminium profiles (thickness 3–10 mm)
• Glass fibre reinforced plastic/epoxy panels (cut depth <250 mm)
• Flexible flush cutting where mixed materials occur

Key specifications

• Type: S 1222 VF
• Material: Bimetal (BIM)
• Total length: 300 mm
• Thickness: 0.9 mm
• Tooth spacing: 1.8–2.6 mm (10–14 TPI)

How to use

Fit the S 1222 VF blade to a compatible reciprocating saw according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Select appropriate speed and feed rate for the material being cut: lower speed and steady feed for metal and composites, moderate speed for wood with nails. Use firm, consistent pressure and allow the blade to cut without forcing to avoid premature wear. Ensure the workpiece is secured and support cut sections to prevent binding.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged blade life, avoid overheating by making intermittent cuts in metal and composite materials, and replace the blade if teeth show significant wear or damage from cutting nails. Always wear appropriate eye, hand and respiratory protection when cutting mixed materials.
