Replacement reciprocating saw blade GRAPHITE 56H032, HM, 455 x 50 x 1.5 mm, 2 TPI, 1 pc

Replacement reciprocating saw blade GRAPHITE 56H032 is a hard‑metal (HM) toothed saw blade sized 455 x 50 x 1.5 mm with a coarse 2 TPI (12.7 mm pitch). It is designed for use with reciprocating (sabre) saws in renovation, construction and demolition tasks. The blade cuts straight through materials such as cellular concrete, cement board, plasterboard and brick up to a maximum thickness of 365 mm, offering fast, clean cuts with reduced dust compared with some traditional abrasive methods.

Advantages

The HM teeth provide durable cutting performance for coarse demolition and heavy‑duty tasks. The blade enables straight, burr‑free cuts and allows cutting close to edges and in confined or hard‑to‑reach areas. Compared with diamond or corundum discs, it produces noticeably less dust during cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting straight cellular concrete and aerated blocks
• Cutting cement board and plasterboard
• Cutting brick and similar masonry up to 365 mm thick
• Renovation, construction and demolition jobs
• DIY home projects requiring coarse or rough cutting

When it may not be suitable

This blade is intended for coarse and heavy‑duty cutting; it is not optimised for fine finishing or precision woodworking where finer tooth pitches are required. It may also be less effective on very hard steel or abrasive materials for which specialized metal cutting blades or diamond‑based tools are recommended.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 455 x 50 x 1.5 mm
• Teeth pitch: 12.7 mm (approx. 2 TPI)
• Tooth material: cemented carbide (HM / TCT)
• Intended use: reciprocating (sabre) saws

How to use

Install the blade according to your reciprocating saw manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring a secure fit. Use steady, controlled strokes and avoid excessive force; allow the carbide teeth to do the cutting. For long or deep cuts, make intermittent pauses to avoid overheating. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and a dust mask, and secure the workpiece before cutting.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that blade length and shank type are compatible with your reciprocating saw
• Confirm the blade thickness and teeth pitch suit the material and cutting speed you need
• Consider whether a finer‑tooth blade or a specialized metal/diamond blade is more suitable for very precise or abrasive applications

Usage recommendations

For best results on cellular concrete, cement board and brick, use the blade at moderate stroke speeds and allow the carbide teeth to cut without excessive pressure. Maintain secure clamping and periodically inspect the blade for wear to ensure safe, straight cuts.
