IDEAL Industries Recip. Blade, Heavy-Duty Metal Cutting, 3/4 x .050, 10/14 TPI

Yes. The IDEAL heavy-duty metal cutting blade uses a 1/2 inch universal shank, so it fits any reciprocating saw that takes the standard 1/2 inch universal tang, which covers virtually all corded and cordless sawzall-type saws.

Two lengths: 8 inch (part 36-086) and 12 inch (part 36-087). Both share the 3/4 inch width, .050 thickness and 10/14 TPI tooth pattern. Pick the 8 inch for controlled cuts in conduit and strut where a long blade would flex or hit obstructions; go to the 12 inch when you need reach through deeper sections or thicker bundles.

10/14 TPI is the variable-pitch pattern meant for metal, and that is what this blade is built for. The finer end of the range keeps at least two teeth engaged in thin wall material like EMT and sheet metal so the teeth do not strip, while the coarser end clears chips in solid stock like threaded rod and all-thread. For wood or nail-embedded demolition you want a much coarser blade instead.

Bi-metal construction pairs high speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-back body. IDEAL states these blades last up to ten times longer than carbon steel blades, and the spring-back body resists snapping when the blade binds or gets torqued in the cut. Carbon steel blades are fine for soft wood, but in metal the teeth dull fast and the body breaks.

Yes, this is a metal cutting blade, so conduit, unistrut, pipe, all-thread, angle iron and metal studs are all in range for the 10/14 TPI tooth pattern. The 3/4 inch blade width gives it enough beam strength to stay straight through a round section. For mixed wood-and-nail demolition, pair it with a coarse demo blade rather than relying on this one.

The .050 blade body is described as shatterproof for tough applications, with flexible spring-back rather than brittle stiffness. That combination is what an electrician wants overhead in a ladder or in a tight ceiling cavity, where the blade gets levered sideways and a rigid blade would break off in the cut.
