Sabre saw blade Makita P-47123 High carbon steel 5 pcs

The Makita P-47123 High Carbon Steel sabre saw blade set contains five blades engineered for efficient wood cutting. Each blade features a working length of 22 cm and an overall length of 24 cm, made from high carbon steel (HCS) to provide a balance of hardness and flexibility for common woodworking tasks. These blades fit most reciprocating saws designed to accept standard sabre/saw blades and are intended for straight or curved cuts in soft and some hardwoods when used with appropriate technique.

Advantages

High carbon steel construction delivers improved edge retention and resistance to premature dulling compared with lower-grade steels, while maintaining enough flexibility to resist breakage under typical cutting loads. The set of five identical blades ensures consistent cutting performance across multiple tasks and reduces downtime for replacements. Dimensions are optimized to give a useful working length for medium-depth cutting while the overall length provides secure mounting in standard holders.

Suitable for

• Cutting softwood and dimensional lumber
• Trimming and remodeling tasks in carpentry
• Making plunge cuts and curved cuts in wood
• General-purpose demolition where wood components are present

Key specifications

• Material: High carbon steel (HCS)
• Number of blades: 5 pieces
• Working length: 22 cm
• Overall length: 24 cm
• Intended material: Wood (softwoods and some hardwoods)

How to use

Install a blade securely into the reciprocating saw’s blade clamp following the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the blade teeth face the correct direction for the intended cut. Mark the cut line on the workpiece, align the blade, and start the saw at low speed to establish the kerf before increasing to the working speed. Use steady, controlled feed pressure and allow the blade to do the cutting; avoid excessive force that can cause bending or premature wear. For curved or plunge cuts, initiate the cut carefully and maintain controlled motion to follow the intended path. Replace blades once cutting becomes inefficient or the blade shows visible wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and gloves. Select blade pitch and feed rate suitable for the wood species and thickness. For extended blade life, avoid cutting metal, masonry, or wet/contaminated materials with these HCS woodworking blades.
