Hitachi RM38B Jigsaw blade

Hitachi RM38B Jigsaw blade by Hikoki is a multipurpose blade designed for use with compatible jigsaws on a variety of materials including aluminium, metal, plastic and wood. With an overall length of 15 cm and a working length of 12.8 cm, this blade provides sufficient cutting depth for typical renovation and light-construction tasks. The tooth spacing ranges from 1.4 mm to 1.8 mm, offering a balance between cutting speed and finish quality across different substrates.

Advantages

The blade combines a compact working length and moderate tooth pitch to deliver controlled cuts in both soft and harder materials. Its design is suitable for straight and curved cuts, while the specified tooth spacing supports a compromise between faster material removal and acceptable edge finish. The blade’s compatibility with common jigsaw models ensures easy replacement and reliable performance in routine cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium sheets and profiles
• Trimming and shaping thin metal components
• Cutting plastic panels and piping
• Crosscutting and ripping thin to medium-thickness wood

Key specifications

• Type: jigsaw blade
• Compatible materials: aluminium, metal, plastic, wood
• Working length: 12.8 cm
• Overall length: 15 cm
• Tooth spacing: 1.4–1.8 mm

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible jigsaw following the tool manufacturer’s instructions and secure it tightly before operation. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material: slower speeds and steady feed for metals and harder plastics, higher speeds for softer plastics and wood. Maintain a firm, controlled grip on the tool and guide the workpiece or saw along the marked cutting line to achieve the desired cut. Replace the blade when cut quality degrades or when visible wear appears on the teeth.

Usage recommendations

Use lubrication or cooling when cutting metal to extend blade life and improve finish. For best results on curved cuts, reduce feed pressure and increase blade travel speed slightly. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and secure the workpiece before cutting.
