Industrial Bi-Metal 6-Inch 18 TPI Reciprocating Saw Blades in a 500-Piece Bulk Fleet Deployment Pack
The Bosch RM618B 6-Inch 18 TPI Bi-Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade 500-Piece Bulk Pack provides extreme mechanical toughness and structural material indexing capabilities for high-volume metal fabrication facilities and industrial demolition yards. Featuring an 18 TPI edge layout and a universal 1/2-inch shank format, this heavy-duty commercial blade supply solves the problem of high cost-per-cut ratios and field data bottlenecks by cleanly slicing through 10 to 16 gauge sheet metal along with structural profiles and pipes between 1/8 inch and 5/16 inch in thickness. Every blade is constructed using premium bi-metal composites joined to a flexible 0.035-inch thin-kerf body matrix that dampens vibration and deflects structural fractures under high-torque starts, while a specialized pair-setting tooth configuration maintains a straight tracking path across all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Best Used For:
- High-Volume Mechanical Contracting: Processing structural HVAC ductwork, commercial electrical conduits, and copper pipe infrastructures swiftly without mid-project blade shortages.
- Sheet Metal Processing: Executing clean, deburred straight-line or radiused slicing maneuvers through steel or aluminum sheeting between 10 and 16 gauge limits.
- Medium-Thickness Profile Demolition: Partitioning dense structural metal tubing, angle iron, and thick-walled framing components up to 5/16 inch thick.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Industrial Bi-Metal Metallurgy: Co-joined alloy edge formulation guarantees excellent fracture resistance, structural thermal boundaries, and extensive tool life under heavy field loads.
- Pair-Setting Tooth Geometry: Dual alternating left and right set indexes maximize localized chip extraction rates to increase tracking stability and speed indices.
- Flexible 0.035-Inch Thin Kerf: Slim, spring-tempered body design minimizes frictional tracking resistance while adapting to sweeping contours without metal shear.
- 3-Degree Dynamic Tilt Angle: Internal pitch orientation aggressively positions individual cutting tips to maximize line penetration and reduce operator drag.
- 0-Degree Mechanical Hook Angle: Micro-tooth geometry geometry prevents work-piece catching to yield smooth, highly accurate, burr-free finishes.

Pro-Tip: When using an 18 TPI thin-kerf blade on dense ferrous tubing sections, do not force or lean your tool weight onto the chassis; apply continuous, uniform structural line speed and allow the pair-setting tooth geometry to path naturally to bypass localized friction welding.
