Jigsaw blade STANLEY STA21062, HCS high carbon steel, 6.8 cm working length, 4 mm tooth spacing, 2 pcs

STANLEY STA21062 jigsaw blade set contains two high carbon steel (HCS) blades designed for cutting wood with handheld jigsaws. Each blade has a 6.8 cm working length and a 10 cm overall length, with 4 mm tooth spacing. The blades are intended for general woodworking and renovation tasks and come packaged in a blister pack. They are suitable for straight and curved cuts and can cut wood up to approximately 45 mm in thickness when used with an appropriate jigsaw and correct cutting technique.

Advantages

These STANLEY blades are made from HCS, providing a balance of flexibility and cutting durability for wood applications. The 4 mm tooth pitch is optimized for medium to coarse cutting in soft and some hardwoods, enabling reasonable cutting speed while maintaining a clean cut. Supplied as a pair, the set offers immediate replacement or alternation between blades during extended tasks. The blades’ compact working length makes them suitable for controlled, detailed cuts and for use in standard handheld jigsaw models that accept T-shank or universal fittings compatible with STANLEY accessories.

Suitable for

• General woodworking and carpentry tasks
• Renovation and repair work involving wooden panels and boards
• Straight and curved cuts in softwoods and thin hardwoods
• Detail cutting where a shorter working length improves control

Key specifications

• Material: High carbon steel (HCS)
• Working length: 6.8 cm
• Overall length: 10 cm
• Tooth spacing (pitch): 4 mm
• Pack quantity: 2 blades
• Maximum recommended cutting thickness in wood: up to 45 mm (dependent on material and tool)

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible handheld jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring secure clamping before operation. Use appropriate PPE such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Select cutting speed and feed rate suitable for the wood type: lower speed for hardwoods and higher speed for softwoods, while keeping steady feed pressure to avoid pinching or blade deviation. For curved cuts, guide the jigsaw slowly to follow the curve; for straight cuts, use a guide or fence to maintain accuracy. Replace the blade when cutting quality decreases or if the blade shows signs of bending or tooth wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the blade tooth spacing to the material thickness—4 mm pitch is suited to medium to coarse cuts in softwoods and thinner hardwoods. Keep blades dry and store in their blister pack to prevent corrosion. Use blades within their intended material range and avoid excessive lateral force to prolong blade life.
