Jigsaw blade DeWalt DT2160-QZ — HSS for metal, working length 50 mm, 1.2 mm tooth pitch, 5 pcs

DeWalt DT2160-QZ is a set of five HSS jigsaw blades engineered for cutting metal with standard T-shank jigsaws. Each blade offers a working length of 50 mm and an overall length of 76 mm, with a 1.2 mm tooth pitch suitable for slicing through sheet and thin-section metals up to approximately 4 mm thickness. The blades are designed for compatibility with common jigsaw models and for tasks that require straight, controlled cuts in metal repair, fabrication and DIY applications.

Advantages

The blades are manufactured from High-Speed Steel, providing a balance of hardness and toughness for metal cutting. A fine 1.2 mm tooth pitch delivers smooth, precise cutting action on thin metals while helping to reduce burr formation. The T-shank design ensures quick and secure blade changes in compatible jigsaws. Packaged as a set of five, the blades offer replacement availability for repeated tasks and reduced downtime during projects.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin sheet metal and metal panels up to about 4 mm
• Metal repair and maintenance tasks
• Light fabrication and trimming of metal components
• DIY metalworking projects requiring precise straight cuts

Key specifications

• Blade material: High-Speed Steel (HSS)
• Working length: 50 mm
• Overall length: 76 mm
• Tooth pitch: 1.2 mm
• Pack quantity: 5 blades
• Recommended maximum cutting thickness: up to 4 mm (metal)
• Shank type: T-shank (fits standard T-shank jigsaws)

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible jigsaw by following the tool manufacturer's instructions for T-shank blade insertion and securing. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for metal; moderate speed with steady feed reduces heat and prolongs blade life. Support the workpiece firmly and mark the cut line clearly before cutting. Allow the blade to complete each pass without forcing; for thicker or harder metals, make multiple light passes rather than attempting aggressive cuts in a single pass.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or coolant when working on thicker or harder metals to reduce heat buildup and extend blade life. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, and clamp the workpiece to prevent movement. Replace blades that show signs of wear, chipping or loss of cutting performance to maintain cut quality and safety.
