Jigsaw Blade Makita B-64917 Bimetal 3 cm 1 pc

The Makita B-64917 jigsaw blade is a bimetal cutting accessory designed for precise short-reach cuts. With a 3 cm working length and a construction combining high-speed steel and flexible alloy, the blade balances cutting durability and resistance to breakage. It is intended for applications requiring fine straight and curved cuts in thin metal sheets and other similar materials where a short, stiff blade improves control.

Advantages

The bimetal construction increases edge life and provides improved toughness compared with carbon-steel blades, reducing the risk of tooth chipping during demanding cuts. The 3 cm working length offers enhanced stability and accuracy for close-radius cutting and tight spaces. Compatibility with standard T-shank jigsaw fittings and a single-piece supply simplifies blade changes and inventory.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting of thin metal sheets and profiles
• Tight-radius and confined-space cutting tasks
• Detail work on HVAC ducting, electrical enclosures, and sheet-metal projects
• Hobby and light-professional metalworking where short stroke reach is needed

Key specifications

• Blade material: bimetal (high-speed steel edge bonded to flexible alloy back)
• Working length: 3 cm
• Tooth design: fine-toothed for smoother cuts in thin materials
• Shank type: compatible with T-shank jigsaw mounts
• Package quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible jigsaw following the machine manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the blade orientation matches the cutting direction. Secure the workpiece and use steady feed pressure; avoid forcing the blade to prevent overheating and premature wear. For best results on metal, use a moderate cutting speed and apply cutting lubricant when recommended for the material. After use, inspect the blade for wear or damage before storing in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, select this 3 cm bimetal blade when short, stable cuts are required in thin metals. Combine with appropriate machine speed settings and, when applicable, cutting lubricant to extend blade life and maintain cut quality.
