Jigsaw Blade Makita B-05044 Bimetal 5 pcs 13 cm

The Makita B-05044 jigsaw blade set contains five bimetal blades with a 13 cm working length designed for durability and precise cutting across a range of materials. These blades are compatible with most standard jigsaw pendulum and straight-cut applications and are engineered to retain sharpness under repeated use. The bimetal construction combines flexibility and wear resistance to reduce breakage and extend service life.

Advantages

Bimetal composition provides improved toughness and resistance to heat compared with high-carbon steel blades, allowing for longer blade life during continuous cutting. The 13 cm working length offers a balance between depth capability and maneuverability for common jigsaw tasks. A consistent tooth geometry delivers smoother cuts and reduced splintering in wood while maintaining cutting performance in metal and composite materials.

Suitable for

• Straight and curved cuts in soft and hard woods
• Cutting sheet metal and thin steel
• Work with plywood, MDF and laminates
• DIY projects and light to medium professional applications

Key specifications

• Blade material: bimetal (high-speed steel edge bonded to flexible spring steel backing)
• Working length: 130 mm
• Pack quantity: 5 blades
• Tooth type: universal/combination tooth geometry suitable for wood and metal
• Compatibility: standard jigsaw blade shank systems (universal fit for most jigsaws)

How to use

Secure the jigsaw and disconnect power before replacing or installing blades. Insert the blade into the jigsaw blade holder according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the teeth face the correct direction for cutting. Start with a low speed to establish the cutting line, then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Apply steady, even pressure—avoid forcing the blade to prevent premature wear or breakage. Change blades when cutting becomes slow, rough, or the edges show visible wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Select feed rate and jigsaw speed based on material thickness: slower speeds and gentle feed for metals, higher speed and moderate feed for wood. When cutting laminates or finished surfaces, consider using masking tape along the cut line to reduce splintering.
