Jigsaw Blades Irwin 10504230 132 mm, 24 TPI, set of 5, for metal, T-shank

Set of five Irwin jigsaw blades designed for metal cutting with a length of 132 mm and a fine 24 TPI tooth pitch. These T-shank blades suit jigsaws that accept T-shank accessories and are intended for precise, clean cutting in thin metal sheets, profiles and small metal components. The tooth geometry and high tooth count provide controlled cutting action and reduced burr formation when working with thin gauge metals.

Advantages

Blades in this set offer consistent cutting performance across multiple pieces thanks to uniform tooth geometry and sizing. The fine 24 TPI teeth enable smooth, accurate cuts in thin metal, minimizing deformation of the workpiece. The T-shank design allows fast, tool-free blade changes on compatible jigsaws and ensures secure retention during operation. A set of five provides spare blades for extended use or different cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin steel sheets and aluminium panels
• Making precise profile and trim cuts in metal sections
• Detail metal fabrication and repair work
• Workshop tasks that require fine-tooth jigsaw cutting in metal

Key specifications

• Blade length: 132 mm
• Tooth pitch: 24 TPI (teeth per inch)
• Shank type: T-shank for jigsaws with T-shank holders
• Quantity in set: 5 blades
• Material suitability: thin metal sheets, light metal profiles

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible jigsaw following the tool manufacturer's instructions for T-shank blades, ensuring the teeth face the correct cutting direction and the blade is securely locked. For best results, clamp the workpiece, mark the cutting line clearly, and use a steady feed rate without forcing the blade. Select appropriate jigsaw speed and, if available, use a variable-speed setting to match the metal thickness. Coolant or cutting lubricant may be applied when cutting thicker or harder metals to reduce heat and extend blade life.

Usage recommendations

Use these blades for fine, detail metal cutting in thin-gauge materials and avoid forcing them through thick, hardened metals. Replace blades when signs of wear or loss of cutting quality appear to maintain precise results. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection and gloves when cutting metal.
