Hitachi RPD33B Jigsaw blade Carbide

Hitachi RPD33B Jigsaw blade Carbide by Hikoki is a replacement blade designed for precision cutting in both metal and wood. The blade’s carbide tip provides durability and wear resistance, while its 12.8 cm working length and 15 cm overall length make it suitable for a range of cutting depths. This blade is intended for use with compatible jigsaw tools that accept this blade form factor and is specified for maximum cutting thickness up to 1.25 mm.

Advantages

The carbide construction ensures prolonged edge retention and reduced frequency of blade changes when cutting abrasive or harder materials. Compatibility with metal and wood cutting tasks gives this jigsaw blade flexibility across workshop and site applications. Its dimensions deliver predictable cutting depth and stability during straight or curved cuts, and the refined tip geometry supports cleaner kerfs and improved control.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin sheet metal up to the specified maximum thickness
• Cutting wooden panels and trim where a durable tip is beneficial
• Replacement blade for compatible jigsaw models in workshop or construction use
• Tasks requiring a carbide-tipped blade to maintain sharpness over extended use

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Hitachi RPD33B jigsaw blade into the jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s blade-change procedure, ensuring the blade is securely locked and oriented correctly for the intended cut direction. Select the appropriate speed and feed rate for the material: slower feeds and moderate speed for metal, higher speeds and steady feed for wood. Allow the blade to cut without excessive lateral force to reduce wear and prevent breakage. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and secure the workpiece before cutting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match blade speed and feed to the material: use lower speeds and steady pressure for metal, and higher speeds with consistent feed for wood. Inspect the blade before use for damage or wear and replace it when cutting quality degrades. Store blades in a dry place to preserve the carbide tip and prevent corrosion of the blade body.
