Jig Saw
Blades
High Carbon Steel (HCS)
Excellent blades for softer materials such as wood, laminated
particleboard and plastics.
Tooth Design
For fast, rough cuts in wood
and plastics.
Side Set & Milled
For clean, fast cuts in wood
and plastics.
Side Set & Ground
For cuts in metal, non-ferrous
metal, aluminum and plastics.
Wavy Set & Milled
For precise, fine, clean cuts
in wood.
Ground & Taper Ground
Bi-Metal (BiM)
This highly flexible, tough combination of HSS
and HCS results in a blade suitable for the most
demanding applications when there is a risk of
breakage or when extreme flexibility and versa-
tility are required.
Tungsten Carbide (TC)
Use blades with tungsten carbide teeth to cut abra-
sive materials such as reinforced plastics, fiberglass,
cement board and stainless steel. Use blades coated
with tungsten carbide grit to cut abrasive materials
such as tile, glass, cast iron and brick.
High Speed Steel (HSS)
Fully hardened high speed steel blades are ideal for cutting
metal, aluminum and non-ferrous metal.

Jig Saw Blades
As the world’s largest jig saw tool and blade manufacturer, Bosch understands the demands of cutting materials
quickly, smoothly and precisely. Bosch’s optimized jig saw blade configurations cut precisely and easily in
conventional and specialized materials.
Blade configurations include
Progressor® tooth design for superior performance in speed and cleanliness of cut,
plunge blade tip shapes for easy plunge cutting in wood, longer blades for deep sandwich material cuts and
flexible blades that provide strength in curve and angle cutting.
Bosch makes it easy for you to quickly find the blade that best fits the job with simple
color coding and blade
applications that are identified on each blade. For the professional that requires technical detail, key blade
specifications are provided such as overall length and working length, blade materials, tooth design, angles and
pitch (teeth per inch ( TPI)).
Progressor® Patented Tooth Design
The Progressor® name comes from the progressive tooth pattern that graduates from high to low teeth per inch over the length of the blade.
The progressive tooth pattern is engineered so the blade can cut both thick and thin material cleanly and smoothly. The Progressor® line of
blades are the ideal blades when switching from one material thickness to another, eliminating the need for blade changes and saving time
on the job. Available for wood, metal or all purpose applications.
Teeth (TPI)
Every material has a different thickness. To achieve
the best possible cutting quality and the fastest
cutting time, it is important to match material
thickness with the proper blade geometry.
Always keep 2-3 teeth in material while cutting.
