Diablo Jig Saw Blades DJT118B5 5 Pack (T Shank HSS 17/14 TPI 3 Inch Length Thick Metal Sheet Steel Pipe Straight Cutting)

Diablo DJT118B5 5-Pack 17/14 TPI T-Shank High-Speed Steel Jig Saw Blades

The Diablo DJT118B5 5-Pack 17/14 TPI T-Shank High-Speed Steel Jig Saw Blades are linear metal-cutting reciprocating accessories engineered for making straight cuts in medium to thick metals from 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thickness. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a 3-inch overall length and a dual-pitch 17/14 TPI tooth profile, these T-shank blades mount directly into corded and cordless jig saws. Designed with a plunge tip and optimized gullet geometry, this 5-piece blade set solves chatter, slow feed rates, and premature tooth dulling across steel plate, structural tubing, and metal pipe cutting tasks.

Best Used For:

• Medium to Thick Sheet Metal Cutting: Executing fast, burr-free linear cuts in carbon steel and stainless steel sheets from 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. thickness.
• Structural Metal Tubing & Conduit Trimming: Slicing through unistrut, EMT electrical conduit, structural angle iron, and thick-wall steel tubing.
• Plunge Cutting Metal Assemblies: Initiating plunge cuts directly into sheet metal enclosures and HVAC ductwork without pre-drilling pilot holes.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Dual-Pitch 17/14 TPI Tooth Design: Progressive tooth geometry provides fast material removal in thick sections while maintaining smooth cut quality.
• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Premium alloy steel body resists frictional heat buildup and wear during continuous high-RPM metal cutting.
• Universal T-Shank Compatibility: Fits all modern cordless and corded T-shank jig saws for maximum power transfer and secure blade locking.
• Plunge Tip Profile: Sharp leading tip geometry enables fast, accurate plunge starts directly into sheet metal without blade walking.
• Optimized Tooth Gullets: Deep chip channels rapidly clear metal swarf to prevent heat retention and extend cutting blade life.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Apply a drop of cutting wax or light machine oil along the cut line when sawing 1/4-inch steel plate; lubricating the HSS teeth reduces friction heat and extends blade sharpness significantly.
