Diablo Jig Saw Blade DJT118EHM 3-1/4 Inch (18 TPI Carbide Teeth T-Shank 1/16 to 1/8 Inch Metal Cutting For Stainless Steel And Alloys)

The Diablo DJT118EHM 3-1/4 Inch Carbide T-Shank Jig Saw Blade is engineered with high-performance carbide strips to provide 50 times the service life of standard bi-metal blades when cutting medium-gauge metals. Optimized for materials ranging from 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch thick, the 18 TPI carbide geometry ensures rapid, clean-cut results in stainless steel and industrial alloys. The inclusion of a Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating minimizes friction and thermal buildup, maintaining cutting edge integrity for high-torque corded and cordless jig saw platforms.

Best Used For:

• Metal Fabrication: Performs precision cuts in stainless steel plating and medium-thickness alloys for industrial and custom hardware builds.
• HVAC and Mechanical Layouts: Facilitates rapid, effortless cutting of sheet metal and metal conduits in dense, high-frequency work environments.
• Automotive Body Repair: Executes clean-edge cutouts in vehicle panels and trim, where precision and minimal edge burring are required.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Carbide-Tipped Strip: Industrial-grade carbide ensures superior abrasion resistance and durability, lasting up to 50 times longer than traditional bi-metal options.
• Aggressive 18 TPI Geometry: Tooth frequency is optimized for high-speed material removal in medium-thickness metals without jamming or heat-induced blade flex.
• Perma-SHIELD Coating: Thermal barrier reduces friction, preventing resin buildup and extending the operational sharpness of the carbide teeth.
• Universal T-Shank Interface: Standardized T-shank geometry ensures vibration-resistant, high-torque seating for nearly all major corded and cordless jig saw models.
• Cool-Cutting Design: Blade architecture facilitates efficient heat dissipation, allowing for continuous operation without damaging the underlying alloy structure.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When cutting thin stainless steel, run your jig saw at a lower speed setting to prevent work hardening the metal; constant, light pressure coupled with a lower stroke rate will maximize the life of your carbide teeth and prevent unnecessary heat buildup.
