Jigsaw blades YATO YT-3445, HCS/HSS, 5 pcs, TPI 10/6/10/32/12 – for wood, plywood, chipboard, metal

Set of five jigsaw blades YATO YT-3445 made from High Carbon Steel (HCS) and High-Speed Steel (HSS) designed for reciprocating and orbital jigsaw machines. The assortment includes blades with tooth counts 10, 6, 10, 32 and 12 TPI to cover a range of cutting tasks in wood, plywood, chipboard, laminated panels, fibreboard and thin metal. Blades combine the flexibility and economy of HCS for general woodworking with the hardness of HSS for cleaner cuts and improved wear resistance on harder materials.

Advantages

The mixed-material set provides versatility: HCS blades offer bend resistance and cost-effective performance for soft and engineered wood, while HSS teeth improve durability and cutting precision on thin metal and harder woods. Multiple TPI options in one pack allow control over cut speed and finish—coarse teeth for rapid, rough cuts and fine teeth for smoother edges. The assortment simplifies job setup by supplying commonly used tooth patterns for both demolition and finishing work without changing brands or blade types.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and rip cuts in softwood and hardwood
• Cutting plywood, chipboard and laminated panels
• Shaping and trimming fibreboard and composite panels
• Cutting thin metal sheets and metal profiles (with HSS blades)
• General jigsaw tasks requiring a mix of fast and fine cuts

Key specifications

• Blade types: combination of HCS and HSS construction
• Pack quantity: 5 blades
• Teeth per inch (TPI): 6, 10, 10, 12, 32
• Intended use: wood, softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, laminated panels, fibreboard, thin metal
• Compatibility: standard jigsaw/reciprocating tool fitting

How to use

Select the blade with the appropriate TPI and material for the task: choose lower TPI (6–10) for faster, rougher cuts in wood and higher TPI (12–32) for smoother finishes or cutting thin metal. Fit the blade into the jigsaw according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade teeth face the correct cutting direction and the blade is securely clamped. Operate the jigsaw at a speed suitable for the material, apply steady feed pressure, and allow the blade to do the cutting to avoid bending or premature wear.

Usage recommendations

The set is intended for general-purpose jigsaw work. For clean edges in plywood or laminated panels, use the finer-tooth blades and reduce blade oscillation if your jigsaw has an orbital setting. When cutting metal, use the HSS blade at lower speed, secure the workpiece, and use cutting lubricant if appropriate. Replace blades when they show signs of dulling, bending, or chipping to maintain cutting quality and safety.
