Sabre saw blade Bosch S 1156 XHM

The Bosch S 1156 XHM Sabre saw blade is a single-tooth accessory designed for reciprocating saws. Manufactured from high carbon steel (HCS), it provides a balance of flexibility and cutting strength for a range of materials. With a working length of 175 mm and overall length of 225 mm, the blade is suitable for medium-depth cuts. The tooth pitch of 3–4 mm supports fast, efficient material removal while maintaining control for straight and curved cuts. The blade is supplied individually for selective replacement in professional and home workshop environments.

Advantages

The high carbon steel construction offers durability and resistance to bending under load while remaining cost-effective. The 3–4 mm tooth spacing is optimized for mixed-material cutting, allowing reliable performance on cast iron, fiberglass, plastic, and wood, including wood containing nails. The working and overall lengths give a good stroke reach and cutting depth for typical demolition, remodeling, and renovation tasks. Single-piece supply makes it convenient to keep a specific blade on hand for targeted applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting cast iron parts and thin metal sections in renovation work
• Removing fiberglass panels and composite materials
• Trimming plastic piping and housings
• Cutting wood and wood with embedded nails during demolition or framing
• General-purpose cutting where a medium tooth pitch is required

How to use

Fit the blade into a compatible reciprocating (sabre) saw according to the saw manufacturer’s blade-change instructions, ensuring the blade is securely locked before operation. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed pressure for the material: slower speeds and steady pressure for metals and cast iron, moderate speed for plastics and fiberglass, and higher speed for wooden sections. Allow the blade to do the work to avoid excessive bending or premature wear. Replace the blade when cutting becomes inefficient or teeth are visibly worn.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves. When cutting materials that may contain embedded nails or fasteners, secure the workpiece and maintain a stable cutting stance. Inspect the blade before use for straightness and intact teeth; avoid using a bent or damaged blade.
