Master Deep-Reach Metal Demolition with Bosch Professional-Grade 18 TPI Bi-Metal Reciprocating Blades
Industrial Bi-Metal 12-Inch 18 TPI Reciprocating Saw Blades in a 200-Piece Bulk Fleet Inventory Pack
The Bosch RM1218B 12-Inch 18 TPI Bi-Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 200-Piece Bulk Pack provides extreme mechanical toughness and extended-reach structural material indexing capabilities for commercial metal fabrication facilities and high-volume demolition contractors. Featuring an 18 TPI medium metal configuration and a universal 1/2-inch shank format, this heavy-duty commercial blade array solves the problem of structural blade buckling and access limitations when slicing through 10 to 16 gauge sheet metal along with deep-set metal profiles and large-diameter pipes between 1/8 inch and 5/16 inch thick. Every blade is constructed from premium bi-metal alloy fused to a flexible 0.035-inch thin-kerf body matrix that dampens vibration under high-torque starts, while a patented pair-setting tooth configuration maintains an aggressive, straight tracking path across all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Best Used For:
- Large-Diameter Conduit Processing: Slicing straight through heavy high-voltage electrical conduit lines, deep structural unistrut systems, and thick commercial utility pipe bundles.
- Structural Wall Cavity Demolition: Utilizing the extended 12-inch reach to penetrate deep into hidden mechanical partitions or double-stud wall configurations to excise scrap steel frames.
- High-Volume Sheet Metal Slicing: Executing clean, deburred linear or sweeping profile maneuvers through steel or aluminum cladding between 10 and 16 gauge thresholds.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Premium Industrial Bi-Metal Matrix: Co-joined steel layer formulation guarantees exceptional fracture toughness, thermal boundary protection, and extended blade life under severe shock.
- Pair-Setting Tooth Pattern: Unique configuration featuring two left-facing teeth followed by two right-facing teeth maximizes chip extraction rates to stabilize high-speed cuts.
- Flexible 0.035-Inch Thin Kerf: Slim, spring-tempered body design minimizes friction coefficients inside tight cuts while protecting against mid-stroke snapping or material locking.
- 3-Degree Dynamic Tilt Orientation: Engineered structural pitch angle positions individual cutting tips aggressively to increase cutting speeds and optimize operator leverage.
- 0-Degree Mechanical Hook Profile: Precision tooth geometry prevents work-piece teeth grabbing to deliver smooth, highly accurate, burr-free material edges.

Pro-Tip: When deploying these 12-inch extended-reach blades through thick structural tube profiles, maintain a slight upward orbital rock if your saw allows; this action prevents chips from clogging the fine 18 TPI teeth across long material paths and suppresses friction welding.
