Jigsaw/Scroll/Reciprocating Saw Blade GRAPHITE 56H036, HSS/HM profile, 152 x 24 x 1.25 mm, 8 TPI, 1 pc

GRAPHITE 56H036 is a carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blade designed for controlled straight and curved cutting in a variety of materials. The blade measures 152 x 24 x 1.25 mm with an 8 TPI tooth pitch and is supplied as a single replacement blade for jigsaw, scroll saw and reciprocating (sabre) saws. It is intended for renovation, construction, demolition and home DIY tasks and allows cutting close to edges and in hard-to-reach places with reduced dust compared to abrasive cutting methods.

Advantages

The carbide (HM) tip provides long-lasting sharpness and good wear resistance when cutting mixed materials. The blade design enables quick, clean cuts with minimal burrs and significantly lower dust generation than diamond or corundum disc cutting. Its dimensions and tooth pitch support both straight-line and controlled curved cutting, including work near edges and in confined areas.

Suitable for

• Wood with embedded nails or small metal inclusions (5–100 mm)
• Metal up to 100 mm thickness
• Cement and aerated concrete
• Glass fibre–reinforced composites and epoxy resin
• Red brick and fibre materials

When it may not be suitable

This blade is not intended for high-speed abrasive grinding or continuous heavy-duty cutting of very hard materials such as solid steel plates beyond the specified thickness. For tasks requiring extremely fine surface finish or mirror-like edges, additional finishing with abrasives may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Length x width x thickness: 152 x 24 x 1.25 mm
• Tooth pitch: 8 TPI (approximately 3 mm)
• Tip material: Cemented carbide (HM / TCT)
• Pack quantity: 1 blade

How to use

Install the blade according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is compatible with the tool’s shank system. Secure the workpiece and select an appropriate cutting speed for the material. Use steady feed pressure, allowing the blade to cut without forcing to avoid premature wear or bending. For cutting near edges or in tight spots, position the saw so the blade has clearance and make controlled passes for accuracy.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your saw’s blade mounting/shank system
• Match the blade length and thickness to the application and saw clearance
• Consider material types and maximum thicknesses you intend to cut

Usage recommendations

The blade performs best when used at moderate cutting speed with steady feed; replace the blade if cutting becomes slow or produces excessive burrs. For prolonged life when cutting abrasive or reinforced materials, avoid overheating and allow the blade to cool between long cuts.
