Features of the Makita A-85656
- High Carbon Steel (HCS) Material: The blades are crafted from High Carbon Steel, providing excellent flexibility and resistance to breakage. This makes them perfectly suited for cutting wood and plastic materials.
- Milled and Side Set Teeth: This tooth design ensures rapid material removal, resulting in fast and highly efficient cuts, especially in straight-line applications where speed is a priority.
- 8 TPI (Teeth Per Inch): With 8 teeth per inch, these blades have a relatively coarse tooth pattern. This makes them ideal for rough and fast cuts in medium-thick wood and plastic, enabling quicker task completion.
- Universal / T-shank Blade Type: Featuring a standard T-shank (bayonet type), these blades are widely compatible with most jigsaws, making installation and replacement quick and easy.
- Optimal Working Length: With a working length of 70 mm (or 75 mm), these blades can effectively cut materials up to 65 mm thick, which is sufficient for common woodworking and plastic applications.
