Milwaukee 48-42-5166 Bi-Metal T-Shank Jig Saw Blades, 5-1/4" 24 TPI, 5-Pack

The Milwaukee 48-42-5166 Bi-Metal T-Shank Jig Saw Blades are purpose-built for metal cutting applications, giving contractors, fabricators, and DIYers a reliable blade option for jig saw work on metal stock. Each blade measures 5-1/4" in length and features a 24 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth pattern engineered to produce clean, controlled cuts through metal without excessive chatter. The blades are constructed from bi-metal, combining flexibility with wear resistance so the cutting edge holds up through repeated use on tougher materials. A universal T-Shank base allows the blades to install quickly in compatible tool-free jig saw blade clamps, minimizing downtime between cuts. This package includes a 5-pack of blades, so you have spares ready to swap in as soon as a blade wears out.

Key Features

• Blade Length: Each blade measures 5-1/4" overall, sized to match standard jig saw stroke lengths for consistent cut depth.
• 24 TPI Tooth Pattern: A 24 TPI (teeth per inch) configuration is tailored for metal cutting, balancing cut speed with a cleaner finish on metal stock.
• Bi-Metal Construction: Bi-metal blade material combines flexibility with edge durability, helping the blade resist breakage during repeated metal-cutting passes.
• T-Shank Design: The T-Shank base is compatible with tool-free blade clamps found on most standard jig saws, allowing for fast, secure blade changes.
• Metal Cutting Application: Tooth geometry and blade material are matched specifically to metal-cutting work rather than general wood-cutting duty.
• 5-Pack Value: Includes 5 individual jig saw blades, giving users backup blades ready to go once the current blade dulls or breaks.
• Jobsite-Ready: Compact packaging of 5-1/4" blades makes it easy to keep spares stocked in a tool bag or truck box for ongoing metal-cutting tasks.
