Jigsaw blade Bosch T 308 B — HCS, for softwood, 117 mm length, 2.2 mm tooth pitch, max cut 50 mm, pack of 5

Bosch T 308 B is a 117 mm high-carbon steel (HCS) jigsaw blade designed for cutting softwood and other non-abrasive wooden materials. With ground and taper-ground teeth and a 2.2 mm tooth pitch, this blade provides controlled, accurate cuts in handheld jigsaws that accept T-shank blades. The pack contains five identical blades for routine woodworking tasks, offering a practical spare supply for trimming, curved cutting and general carpentry in soft timber up to a maximum cutting depth of 50 mm.

Advantages

The HCS construction gives the blade good flexibility and resistance to chipping when used on softwood. Ground and taper-ground teeth reduce cutting resistance and help produce a cleaner kerf with minimal splintering. The 2.2 mm tooth pitch balances cutting speed and finish quality for typical woodworking operations. The T-shank design ensures secure, tool-free fitting in compatible jigsaw holders, and the pack of five provides ready replacements to maintain workflow.

Suitable for

• Straight and curved cuts in softwood
• Trim and finish carpentry work
• Cutting plywood and other non-abrasive wood-based panels
• General woodworking where a 50 mm maximum cut depth is sufficient

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the T-shank of the blade into the jigsaw’s blade holder according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions and ensure it locks securely before operation. Select an appropriate cutting speed for softwood and clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent movement. Guide the jigsaw steadily along the cut line without forcing the blade; allow the teeth and the 2.2 mm pitch to do the work for a balanced finish. Replace the blade when wear reduces cutting performance or causes excessive splintering.

Usage recommendations

Use this blade for softwood and other non-abrasive wood materials only. Avoid cutting materials with embedded nails, screws or abrasive fillers, as these can rapidly damage the HCS teeth. For the best edge quality, support the workpiece near the cutting line and use a sacrificial backing board when cutting thin or veneered panels.
