Sabre saw blade STANLEY STA22142 — Bimetal, 228 mm, for aluminium, metal, plastic, 2 pcs

STANLEY STA22142 sabre saw blades are a two-piece bimetal set with a total length of 228 mm, engineered for cutting aluminium, various metals, non-ferrous metals and plastics. Designed for use with reciprocating and sabre saws, these blades combine wear resistance with sufficient flexibility for demolition, plumbing, metalworking and general DIY cutting tasks. Supplied in a blister pack of two blades, the set provides a versatile option for on-site and workshop use.

Advantages

These bimetal blades deliver a balance of toughness and flexibility because the cutting edge uses high-speed steel welded to a resilient backing, reducing breakage and extending service life compared with standard carbon blades. The 228 mm length gives improved reach and allows deeper cuts, while the tooth geometry is optimized for cutting a range of materials including aluminium and plastics without excessive burr formation. The blades are compatible with most standard sabre/reciprocating saws, simplifying replacement and reducing downtime.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium profiles and sheets
• Demolition and dismantling of metallic structures
• Plumbing tasks involving metal and plastic pipes
• Metal fabrication and workshop cutting of non-ferrous metals
• General DIY and renovation projects requiring variable material cutting

Key specifications

• Blade type: bimetal construction (HSS cutting edge on flexible backing)
• Overall length: 228 mm
• Material compatibility: aluminium, steel and other metals, non-ferrous metals, plastic
• Quantity: 2 blades per pack
• Design: reciprocating/sabre saw blade fitment

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible sabre or reciprocating saw according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is securely locked before operation. Select an appropriate cutting speed and apply steady, even pressure; allow the blade’s teeth to do the work rather than forcing the cut. For cutting plastics and thin aluminium, use slower feed to avoid melting or distortion; for thicker metals, maintain consistent strokes and clear chips from the cut to prevent binding. Replace blades when cutting performance declines or if visible wear or damage occurs.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection) and secure the workpiece before cutting. Match blade length and tooth geometry to the material thickness for best results, and keep blades clean and free of debris to prolong life.
