Reciprocating Saw Blades Makita B-05044-2 BIM 152 x 0.9 mm, 2 pcs — for Wood, Metal, PVC

Makita B-05044-2 BIM reciprocating saw blades, 152 x 0.9 mm, pack of 2, are bi-metal blades intended for portable reciprocating saws. These short blades combine a flexible backing with hardened cutting edges to deliver a balance of toughness and wear resistance. They are designed to cut a variety of materials including wood, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and PVC in demolition, plumbing and general service applications where a compact blade length is preferred.

Advantages

Bi-metal construction provides improved durability compared with standard high-carbon blades, allowing the blade to resist breakage and maintain sharpness during intermittent cutting. The 0.9 mm thickness offers reduced vibration and faster cutting action while still retaining stability. The compact 152 mm length improves control in tight spaces and makes these blades suitable for plunge cuts, flush cuts and aggressive demolition work on mixed materials.

Suitable for

• Cutting dimensional wood and lumber during demolition and remodeling
• Cutting metal pipes, profiles and sheet metal including ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Cutting PVC pipes and plastic components
• Plumbing and HVAC service tasks requiring short, controlled cuts in confined areas
• General maintenance and repair work with a handheld reciprocating saw

Key specifications

• Blade type: Bi-metal (BIM) combining flexible back and hardened cutting edge
• Length: 152 mm
• Thickness: 0.9 mm
• Quantity: 2 blades per pack
• Suitable materials: wood, metal, PVC
• Application: demolition, plumbing, general servicing

How to use

Install the reciprocating saw blade into the tool according to the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is properly seated and secured. Select an appropriate cutting speed and apply steady feed pressure; allow the blade to do the cutting without forcing to avoid premature wear or bending. For cutting metal or PVC, use a consistent stroke and moderate speed; for wood, higher feed rates are suitable. Replace the blade when cutting performance decreases or when visible wear or damage appears.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection and gloves. Match blade type and length to the task: these 152 mm BIM blades are intended for short-reach cutting and mixed-material jobs. For prolonged cutting of thick metal or continuous heavy-duty work, consider longer or dedicated metal-cutting blades to maximise blade life and cutting efficiency.
