Reciprocating Saw Blade Irwin 150 mm 606 R BIM for metal and wood cutting, MPN 10504150

The Irwin 150 mm 606 R BIM reciprocating saw blade is a bi-metal blade engineered for cutting both metal and wood with a single blade. At 150 mm length it is compatible with standard reciprocating and sabre saws, offering a balance of reach and control for demolition, plumbing, HVAC and general construction tasks. The bi-metal construction provides enhanced toughness at the cutting edge while retaining flexibility in the body to resist breakage under heavy use.

Advantages

This blade combines high-speed steel cutting edges welded to a flexible alloy steel back, delivering long life when cutting hard materials and reduced risk of fracture. Its tooth geometry is designed to cut through wood with embedded nails and varied thicknesses of metal, reducing the need to switch blades during mixed-material work. The compact 150 mm length improves maneuverability in confined spaces while maintaining efficient material removal.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal pipes, sheet metal and profiles
• Demolition tasks involving timber with nails or fasteners
• HVAC installation and maintenance where mixed materials are present
• Plumbing repairs and retrofit work in tight spaces
• General construction where both wood and metal must be cut

Key specifications

• Blade length: 150 mm
• Material: bi-metal (high-speed steel edge with flexible alloy back)
• Design: tooth geometry optimized for mixed metal and wood cutting
• Compatibility: fits standard reciprocating/sabre saw blade holders
• Construction: welded bi-metal for increased durability and fracture resistance

How to use

Install the blade into the reciprocating or sabre saw according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is securely locked in the blade holder. Select a moderate stroke speed and allow the blade to do the cutting without forcing; apply steady, even pressure and let the bi-metal edge engage the material. For cutting metal, use a slower feed rate and keep the blade perpendicular to the cut to minimize deflection. When cutting wood with embedded nails, start cutting in a controlled fashion and clear debris regularly to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves. For prolonged metal cutting, consider intermittent cutting or cooling periods to extend blade life. Replace the blade when cutting becomes slow or the edge shows visible wear or damage.
