Jigsaw blades DeWALT DT2162 — set of 5 blades for jigsaws, model DT2162

Set of five DeWALT jigsaw blades DT2162 designed for metal cutting tasks with compatible jigsaw tools. These HSS blades are manufactured from fully hardened, high-speed cut-to-length steel to provide increased durability and consistent cutting performance in steel and non-ferrous metals. The pack of five allows quick replacement on site or in the workshop to restore cutting efficiency when blades become worn or damaged.

Advantages

HSS construction delivers higher wear resistance and maintains sharpness longer than standard carbon blades, reducing the frequency of changes. The fully hardened, cut-to-length steel offers consistent tooth geometry for clean cuts in thin and medium-gauge metals. Blades are suitable for use with cutting oil, emulsions or lubricating/cooling greases to extend life and improve cut quality. The five-blade pack is practical for tradespeople or hobbyists who require immediate spares for uninterrupted work.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel sheets and profiles
• Cutting non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper
• Workshop repair and maintenance tasks requiring metal trimming
• On-site fabrication where quick blade replacement is needed

Key specifications

• Material: fully hardened high-speed steel (HSS)
• Suitable work materials: steel and non-ferrous metals
• Pack quantity: 5 blades
• Recommended use with cutting lubricant: cutting oil, emulsion or lubricating/cooling grease
• Designed for jigsaw tools with compatible blade shank fitting

How to use

Select a blade from the pack that matches the thickness and type of metal to be cut. Fit the blade into a compatible jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is securely clamped. Apply an appropriate cutting lubricant such as cutting oil or emulsion to the cutting line to reduce heat and friction. Operate the jigsaw at a steady feed rate and let the blade do the cutting without excessive force to preserve blade life and achieve cleaner edges. Replace the blade when signs of wear, chipping or reduced cutting speed are observed.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting oil or emulsion when working with stainless or harder steels; for aluminium and softer non-ferrous metals, light lubrication improves chip evacuation. Store blades dry and protected from corrosion, and inspect the blade teeth before each use to ensure safe, efficient operation.
