Jigsaw Blades
Jigsaw Blades for Wood, Metal, Plastic, and Foam
The right jigsaw blade matters more than the saw for cut quality. This collection is led by Festool blades sorted by cut: straight, scroll, fine, down-cut, clean-cut, and fast-cutting wood blades, HS blades for metal, blades for plastics, a foam-cutting blade, and a carbide-tipped R54G. Multi-brand sets include the Diablo 20-piece wood and metal set, the Bosch T5002 10-piece set, and the DeWALT 14-piece set with case. Bosch T244D 6 TPI wood blades and Milwaukee 18 TPI bi-metal blades round it out.
What to Look For
- Material. Use wood blades for wood and sheet goods, bi-metal or HS blades for metal, and dedicated blades for plastic and foam.
- TPI. Low TPI, like 6, cuts fast and rough. High TPI, like 18, cuts slower and cleaner, and suits metal.
- Cut direction. Down-cut blades keep the top face clean, which suits laminate and finished panels.
- Shank. Confirm the blade shank fits your jigsaw before ordering.

Jigsaw Blades FAQ
Should I start with a blade set?
Yes, if you cut more than one material. Sets like the Diablo 20-piece or Bosch T5002 cover wood and metal, so you can find what works before buying 5-packs of your favorites.
What blade gives the cleanest cut in plywood?
Use a fine-tooth or down-cut wood blade and cut with the good face up. A splinterguard on the saw helps further. Fast-cutting low TPI blades leave more tearout.
