Reciprocating saw blades Hikoki RCM42B bent 225 mm 10/14 TPI, pack 1

The Hikoki RCM42B is a 225 mm bent reciprocating saw blade designed for improved access in tight or awkward cutting positions. With a 10/14 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth configuration, this blade balances cutting speed and a relatively smooth finish for medium-thickness materials. The bent profile helps keep the saw body clear of the workpiece and provides better control when cutting in demolition, construction and pruning tasks. Compatible with standard reciprocating saws that accept a universal shank, this single-pack blade is intended for quick replacement during on-site work.

Advantages

The bent geometry of the Hikoki RCM42B enables easier entry into restricted areas and more ergonomic handling when cutting flush or at angles. The 10/14 TPI tooth pattern is optimized for a mix of cutting speed and chip clearance, reducing clogging when working with wood and composite materials. Constructed for compatibility with universal shank holders, the blade allows fast changes and straightforward installation without model-specific adapters.

Suitable for

• Demolition and rough carpentry where angled cuts or access behind obstacles are required
• Construction site cutting of timber, laminated beams and some composites
• Pruning and landscaping tasks that need a shorter, curved blade for better reach
• Situations requiring quick blade replacement during on-site work

How to use

Install the Hikoki RCM42B blade into the reciprocating saw's universal shank clamp according to the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is oriented so the teeth cut on the correct stroke. Secure the blade firmly before operation. Use steady feed pressure and let the blade do the cutting; avoid forcing the blade to prevent premature wear or breakage. For angled or confined cuts, position the bent section to improve clearance between the saw body and the workpiece and maintain a secure grip on the tool while cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves and hearing protection) and select the correct cutting speed for the material. Replace the blade if cutting performance declines or teeth become damaged. Store blades dry and protected to prevent corrosion.
