Stichsägenblätter

Stichsägenblätter, also known as jigsaw blades, are essential accessories for jigsaw power tools. They are designed to cut various materials, with the blade's specific geometry and tooth configuration determining its suitability for different applications. Blades are typically made of steel, with some being hardened or bi-metal for increased durability and cutting efficiency.

The selection of a stitchsägenblatt depends on the material being cut and the desired cut quality. Blades with fine teeth are generally used for smooth, precise cuts in materials like laminate, thin metal, or plastics. Coarser teeth are more effective for rapid cutting through thicker materials such as solid wood or construction lumber. Blades designed for wood often have a T-shaped shank for easy insertion and secure fitting into the jigsaw's blade clamp.

Specialized stitchsägenblätter exist for specific tasks. For instance, blades with wave-set teeth are suitable for cutting metal, while those with a hook tooth design excel in cutting wood. Blades for curved cuts often have a narrower blade body. There are also blades designed for plunge cuts, allowing the user to start a cut in the middle of a workpiece. Proper blade maintenance and replacement are crucial for optimal performance and safety when using a jigsaw.
