Jigsaw blade YATO YT-3409, HCS high carbon steel, for wood, working length 90 mm, 5 pcs

Yato YT-3409 jigsaw blade set contains five high carbon steel blades designed for cutting wood and wood-based panels. Blades have a working length of 9 cm and an overall length of 11.5 cm, with 8 teeth per inch for medium-coarse cross and rip cuts in soft and engineered woods.

Advantages

Blades made from high carbon steel (HCS) offer good flexibility and resistance to chipping when cutting softer woods and composite panels. The 8 TPI tooth configuration balances cutting speed and finish, making these blades suitable for straight and curved cutting tasks where moderate cut quality is required. The pack of five ensures spare blades are available for extended work sessions.

Suitable for

• Chipboard and fibreboard
• Plywood
• Softwood
• Straight and gentle curved cuts in solid wood

When it may not be suitable

These HCS blades are optimized for wood and wood-based materials and may wear quickly or perform poorly on hard metals, laminated surfaces with abrasive cores, or very hard hardwoods. For fine finish cuts in delicate veneers or for cutting metal and plastics, a blade with a higher tooth count or different material (such as bi-metal) would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Blade type: Jigsaw blade (T-shank compatible)
• Blade material: High carbon steel (HCS)
• Working length: 9 cm
• Overall length: 11.5 cm
• Teeth per inch (TPI): 8
• Quantity in pack: 5 pieces

How to use

Fit the blade into a compatible jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the T-shank is securely seated. Use steady feed pressure and allow the blade to do the cutting to reduce bending or premature wear. For best results on chipboard and plywood, clamp the workpiece and cut at a moderate speed, backing the cut with sacrificial material if necessary to reduce splintering.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your jigsaw accepts T-shank blades and the blade length is compatible with your tool.
• Choose blade material and TPI based on the hardness of the work material and desired surface finish.
• Buy more durable blade types (e.g., bi-metal) if you frequently cut hard or abrasive materials.

Usage recommendations

Use these Yato HCS jigsaw blades for general woodworking tasks on softwood, plywood and particle boards. Maintain moderate speeds and replace blades when cutting quality decreases to preserve clean edges and prevent burning or tearing of the material.
