Sabre saw blade Makita P-81290

The Makita P-81290 Sabre saw blade set contains thirty blades designed for a variety of cutting tasks. Each blade has a working length of 13 cm and the set includes blade tooth configurations with 14, 18 and 21 teeth per inch (TPI) to suit different materials and desired cut finishes. Blades are made and finished for durability and consistent performance with sabre/jigsaw-style reciprocating saws that accept standard shank blade fittings.

Advantages

This set provides a range of tooth counts that balance cutting speed and edge quality across wood, plastic and metal applications. The uniform 13 cm working length offers good reach into confined or deep cuts while maintaining rigidity. Multiple TPI options let users select coarser teeth for fast, aggressive ripping or finer teeth for smoother cuts and better control. Blades are finished to resist wear and designed for consistent kerf width and minimal vibration during operation.

Suitable for

• General demolition and rough cutting in timber and composite boards
• Precision trimming and plunge cuts in plywood, laminate and plastic
• Cutting thin metal sections, sheet metal and pipes (use finer TPI)
• Construction site and renovation tasks requiring a variety of blade aggressiveness

Key specifications

• Set quantity: 30 blades
• Working length: 13 cm
• Tooth configurations: 14 TPI, 18 TPI, 21 TPI
• Applicable saw type: sabre/reciprocating saws with standard shank blades
• Material suitability: wood, plastic, thin metal sheets and pipes

How to use

Select the blade tooth count that matches your material and desired finish: choose lower TPI for faster, rougher cuts in wood and higher TPI for cleaner cuts in thin metal or laminates. Securely fit the blade into the reciprocating saw’s blade holder according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions and tighten the clamp. Position the workpiece, use appropriate clamping to prevent movement, and operate the saw at a controlled speed. Apply steady forward pressure without forcing the blade; allow the blade teeth to do the cutting to reduce wear and prevent breakage. Replace blades when they show reduced cutting performance or visible damage.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection and gloves. Match blade TPI to material thickness: lower TPI for faster wood cutting, higher TPI for thinner materials and metals. Keep blades clean and free of pitch or resin buildup to maintain cutting efficiency; change blades when performance drops or if teeth are damaged.
