Jigsaw Blade Makita B-55572 Tungsten Carbide 1 pc

The Makita B-55572 jigsaw blade is manufactured from tungsten carbide for enhanced wear resistance and long life. Designed to fit compatible jigsaws, this single-piece blade delivers precise, clean cuts across a range of materials. The blade geometry and carbide tooth tips are optimized to maintain cutting performance under sustained use, making it suitable for both professional tradespeople and home DIY tasks where reliable cutting quality is required.

Advantages

Tungsten carbide construction increases durability and maintains sharpness longer than high-speed steel blades. The blade provides consistent cut quality and reduced chipping on edges when used on common construction and finishing materials. Its universal shank and standard dimensions ensure straightforward installation and compatibility with many jigsaw models that accept this type of blade. Sold as a single unit, it is convenient for targeted replacement when the original blade wears out.

Suitable for

• Cutting hardwood, softwood and engineered wood panels
• Trimming laminate, melamine and veneered boards
• Cutting non-ferrous plastics and composite materials
• Precision cuts in flooring materials and furniture components

Key specifications

• Blade material: tungsten carbide tips
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Design: toothed jigsaw blade for straight and curved cutting
• Intended use: multi-material cutting including wood, laminates and some plastics
• Compatibility: for jigsaws accepting standard shank blades

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible jigsaw following the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the blade is oriented with the teeth pointing in the correct cutting direction and is secured firmly in the clamp. Adjust the jigsaw speed and orbital action (if available) according to the material: lower speeds for delicate laminates and higher speeds for thicker wood. Support the workpiece on a stable surface and guide the jigsaw steadily along the cut line, allowing the blade to do the work without excessive force. Replace the blade when cutting quality diminishes or if teeth become damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as eye protection and hearing protection. For cleaner edges on laminates and veneered surfaces, apply masking tape along the cut line or cut from the finished side down, depending on the blade orientation. Avoid cutting ferrous metals with this tungsten carbide-tipped wood blade to prevent premature wear.
