Jigsaw Blade Bosch S 1222 VF for Wood Metal Plastic

The Bosch S 1222 VF jigsaw blade for Wood Metal Plastic is a bi-metal (BIM) blade designed for versatile cutting tasks including wood with nails, thin sheet metal, aluminium profiles, pipes, and glass fibre reinforced plastics. With a total length of 300 mm and a thickness of 0.9 mm, the blade combines durability and flexibility for flush and contour cuts. The milled, side-set tooth design and a tooth spacing of 1.8–2.6 mm (10–14 TPI) provide controlled material removal and a balance between speed and cut quality, suitable for applications where mixed materials or occasional nails are encountered.

Advantages

The bi-metal construction increases resistance to wear and extends blade life when cutting abrasive or mixed materials. The milled side-set teeth allow faster cutting in wood and softer metals while maintaining acceptable edge quality, and the 0.9 mm thickness supports both stability and the ability to perform flexible flush cuts. A 300 mm length gives extended reach for deeper or through cuts in panels and profiles.

Suitable for

• Cutting wood containing nails and small metal inclusions (up to 250 mm thickness)
• Cutting sheet metal, pipes and aluminium profiles (3–10 mm)
• Cutting glass fibre reinforced plastic and epoxy laminates (up to 250 mm)
• Flush and contour cutting in renovation and installation work

How to use

Fit the S 1222 VF blade into a compatible T-shank jigsaw following the tool manufacturer's blade-change instructions and ensure the blade is securely locked. Select an appropriate speed for the material—moderate speed for mixed wood/metal and lower speed for thin sheet metal to avoid burrs. Maintain steady feed pressure; let the blade do the cutting rather than forcing it. Use appropriate clamps and supports for the workpiece and wear safety equipment such as eye protection and gloves when cutting metal or fibreglass materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this blade when working with materials that combine wood and metal elements or when occasional nails are expected. When cutting thin sheet metal or aluminium profiles, secure the material and reduce speed to limit distortion. Replace the blade when cutting quality decreases or if teeth are visibly worn or damaged.
