Saw blade Bosch Expert S 555 CHC, 100 mm length, for tough metal

Bosch Expert S 555 CHC is a 100 mm saw blade designed for reciprocating and saber saws, intended specifically for cutting tough metals. The blade geometry and construction are optimized to withstand high friction and abrasive contact common when working with hardened steel, cast iron and other challenging metal sections. Its compact length and tooth arrangement deliver controlled metal removal and extended service life compared with standard blades of similar size.

Advantages

The blade offers improved durability and wear resistance due to its reinforced tooth geometry and material selection, reducing the need for frequent replacements during prolonged cutting tasks. Precision-ground teeth and a design tuned for metal applications provide smoother cuts, reduced vibration and consistent performance when cutting profiles, pipes and structural sections. The 100 mm working length enhances maneuverability in confined spaces while keeping cutting efficiency high on thick or hard metals.

Suitable for

• Cutting hardened steel and other tough metals
• Trimming metal pipes and profiles
• Demolition and refurbishment tasks involving metal sections
• Professional metalworking and advanced DIY applications

Key specifications

• Length: 100 mm working length suitable for compact reciprocating and saber saw use
• Material/finish: reinforced tooth construction for enhanced wear resistance
• Tooth design: geometry optimized for metal cutting to reduce vibration and improve chip evacuation
• Compatibility: for use with standard reciprocating/saber saw blade holders on compatible power tools
• Application focus: designed specifically for tough and hardened metal cutting

How to use

Install the Bosch Expert S 555 CHC blade in the reciprocating or saber saw following the tool manufacturer's blade-change instructions, ensuring the blade is securely locked in the holder. Select an appropriate cutting speed and apply steady feed pressure; allow the blade to do the work rather than forcing it. For best results on thicker or harder metals, use slower stroke rates and consistent, controlled passes. Periodically clear chips from the cutting zone and inspect the blade for wear or damage; replace if cutting quality deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves, and secure the workpiece before cutting. For long blade life on hardened metals, avoid excessive side loading and maintain a controlled cutting speed; for improved finish, clamp the workpiece and make multiple light passes rather than attempting an aggressive single cut.
