Features of the Makita A-85911

• High Carbon Steel (HCS) Material: These blades are crafted from High Carbon Steel, providing excellent flexibility and resistance to breakage. This makes them perfectly suited for cutting wood, plywood, and plastic materials.
  
• Ground & Side Set Teeth: The precisely ground and side-set teeth ensure rapid material removal, resulting in fast and highly efficient cuts while maintaining a relatively clean finish.
  
• 8 TPI (Teeth Per Inch): With 8 teeth per inch, these blades have a medium-coarse tooth pattern. This makes them ideal for fast cuts that still leave a decent finish in medium-thick wood, plywood, and plastic.
  
• Universal / T-shank Blade Type: Featuring a standard T-shank (often called "Makita Type" shank), these blades are widely compatible with most jigsaws, allowing for quick and easy installation and removal.
  
• Optimal Working Length: With a working length of 60 mm, these blades can effectively cut materials up to 50 mm thick, which is sufficient for common decorative, furniture, and general installation tasks.
