The blade material is a critical factor when purchasing jigsaw blades because it determines both the blade’s durability and its suitability for specific materials. High Carbon Steel (HCS) blades are excellent for cutting wood and plastics, offering flexibility and a lower cost, while High Speed Steel (HSS) blades excel in cutting metal due to their heat resistance and longevity. Some products, like the Bosch T101B100 and Makita Shank 3-1/8" x 8TPI, use high carbon steel for clean, fast cuts in wood and plastic, while the Bosch T118A100 uses high speed steel, making it ideal for metal work. A range of blade materials are available, so you can select the best match for your cutting application.
