Graphite 56H038 jigsaw/scroll saw/reciprocating saw blade 1 pc(s)

Graphite 56H038 reciprocating saw blade is a single-piece carbide-tipped (HM/TCT) blade designed for demanding cutting tasks. With overall dimensions of 228 x 22 x 1.5 mm and a tooth pitch of 8.5 mm (3 TPI), this blade delivers straight, fast cuts and reduced burr formation. It is intended for use on abrasive and reinforced materials where durable, precise performance is required, and it reduces dust generation compared with conventional diamond or corundum discs.

Advantages

The blade combines a cemented carbide cutting edge with a sturdy backing to provide long life and resistance to wear when cutting fibre cement, cellular concrete, red brick and glass fibre–reinforced plastics. Its geometry enables quick and clean cutting across a wide material thickness range while allowing cuts close to edges and inside confined spaces. Compared with abrasive disc methods, the blade produces significantly lower dust levels and maintains cutting accuracy for renovation, demolition and construction applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting fibre cement sheets and panels
• Cutting cellular concrete blocks and blocks of aerated concrete
• Cutting red brick and similar masonry up to medium thickness
• Cutting glass fibre–reinforced plastics and epoxy resin assemblies
• Work in renovation, construction, demolition and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Blade type: reciprocating saw blade (saw/jigsaw/scroll saw compatible)
• Material: cemented carbide (HM / TCT) cutting edge
• Overall dimensions: 228 x 22 x 1.5 mm
• Tooth pitch: 8.5 mm (3 TPI)
• Suitable cutting thickness range for epoxy/glass-fibre assemblies: 6–150 mm
• Suitable cutting thickness range for fibre cement and masonry: 10–175 mm

How to use

Fit the Graphite 56H038 blade securely into a compatible reciprocating saw according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the correct orientation and locking mechanism engagement. Select a moderate cutting speed and steady feed rate to balance cutting speed and blade life when working on abrasive or reinforced materials. Use light, consistent pressure; avoid forcing the blade through the material to prevent premature wear or damage. For long cuts, periodically pause to allow debris removal and to check blade condition.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection. Use proper clamping or support for workpieces and consider local dust extraction where possible. For best results on abrasive materials, replace the blade when cutting quality degrades or when visible wear on the carbide tips appears.
