Reciprocating Saw Blades DeWalt DT2156-QZ – cobalt steel T-shank, length 86.5 mm, tooth pitch 0.7 mm, max cutting depth 2 mm

DeWalt DT2156-QZ reciprocating saw blades are designed for precision cutting of thin metal using a durable cobalt steel construction and a T-shank that enables fast, secure mounting in compatible reciprocating saws. With a total length of 86.5 mm, a fine tooth pitch of 0.7 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 2 mm, these blades are intended for applications that require accurate, wear-resistant performance on metal sheets, profiles and thin-walled pipes.

Advantages

The cobalt steel material improves wear resistance and heat tolerance during prolonged cutting of metal, helping the blade retain sharpness. The T-shank design provides quick and secure tool changes without additional adapters. Fine tooth pitch yields precise, burr-reduced cuts on thin metal, and the compact 86.5 mm length allows access in confined spaces where longer blades cannot reach.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin metal sheets and panels
• Trimming metal profiles and channels
• Cutting thin-walled pipes and tubing
• Detail work and precision metal cutting in renovation and repair

Key specifications

• Material: cobalt steel for enhanced wear resistance
• Shank type: T-shank for quick mounting
• Total length: 86.5 mm
• Tooth pitch: 0.7 mm (fine teeth for precise cuts)
• Maximum cutting depth: 2 mm
• Intended cutting material: thin ferrous and non-ferrous metal sheets, profiles and thin-walled pipes

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible reciprocating saw with a T-shank clamp, ensuring the blade is firmly seated and locked before operation. Select appropriate cutting speed and apply steady, even pressure; allow the blade to perform the cut rather than forcing it to avoid premature wear. For best results on thin metal, secure the workpiece, mark the cutting line clearly and perform a controlled pass. Replace the blade when cutting quality degrades or if visible damage appears.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection when cutting metal. For longer blade life, avoid excessive lateral force and keep cutting speeds suitable for thin metal; cool or pause periodically if high temperatures develop. Match blade length and tooth pitch to material thickness and required finish for optimal performance.
