Jigsaw blade Stanley STA28160-XJ High-Speed Steel 16 pcs

The STANLEY STA28160-XJ High-Speed Steel jigsaw blade set contains 16 blades engineered for cutting a range of materials including metal and wood. Blades are made from high-speed steel to provide wear resistance and consistent edge retention during repetitive cutting tasks. The set is intended to fit standard jigsaw blades with compatible shank types and supports applications where a balance of cutting speed and blade life is required.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction offers enhanced hardness and heat resistance compared with carbon-steel alternatives, which helps maintain sharpness under demanding conditions. The set of 16 blades provides flexibility for different tasks and reduces downtime for blade changes. Blades are designed to produce clean cuts in both metal and wood when used at appropriate speeds and feed rates.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin to medium-gauge metal sheets and profiles
• Crosscuts and rip cuts in soft and hardwoods
• General workshop and on-site renovation tasks
• DIY projects requiring a variety of blade replacements

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Quantity: 16 blades per set
• Suitable materials: metal and wood
• Blade type: jigsaw blades with standard shank compatibility
• Intended performance: balance of cutting speed and durability

How to use

Select a blade from the set appropriate for the material and desired cut quality. Ensure the jigsaw is unplugged or its battery removed before changing blades. Fit the blade into the jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, making sure the shank is fully seated and securely clamped. Set the jigsaw speed and, if available, stroke length to match the material—lower speeds for metal, higher speeds for wood. Make steady, controlled passes and allow the blade to do the cutting without excessive lateral force to prolong blade life.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting lubrication or coolant when cutting metal to reduce heat buildup and extend blade life. For wood, select a finer-tooth blade for smoother finishes and a coarser-tooth blade for faster, rougher cuts. Replace blades when cutting performance declines or teeth become visibly worn. Follow personal protective equipment guidelines: eye protection, hearing protection, and appropriate gloves.
