What the AI looks for in Jig Saw Blades
- Shank type
- T-shank fits most current saws. U-shank fits older or tool-free-incompatible models. The wrong shank simply won't mount.
- Tooth material
- HCS for wood. HSS or bi-metal for metal. HCS dulls instantly in metal.
- Tooth direction
- Reverse or down-cut teeth for laminate and veneered faces. Standard up-cut teeth chip the top surface.
Brands that matter
- Bosch: The reference T-shank range.
- Festool: Premium blades for its own and other saws.
- DeWalt: Good-value T-shank sets.
What to avoid
- U-shank blades for T-shank saws
- Coarse blades for finish cuts
