- a universal power tool, on the pages of WWW .. It is able to work on wood, metal (and their composites), plastic and even ceramic tiles. With such a variety of materials, the right one provides 50% of successful work.

MATERIAL OF THE SAW (SAW BLADE).

by the most important parameter for is the steel grade from which it is made. Depending on the purpose, there are SAWS (SAW BLADES) in

HCS, HSS, BIMETALLIC (BIM) and HM versions.

HCS - high carbon steel for working in soft materials such as wood, plastic-coated wood-based panels and artificial materials. The HCS-SAW is quite flexible and does not break when working with wide workpieces.

HSS - High performance high speed steel for use in hard materials such as metal, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Compared to HCS, the metal thickness of HSS is much thinner and the hardness is much higher.

BIM is a highly elastic, inseparable connection made of HSS and HCS, designed for high professional demands. SAWS of this type are used where there is a risk of breakage of the base or where particularly flexible, flexible SAWS are required. The service life of BIMETAL SAW is much higher than HSS or HCS versions.
In the case of a BIMETALLIC solution, an excellent price/performance ratio is obtained. Operating range BIM - - wood, metal, non-ferrous metal, aluminum. Depending on the width of the SAW BLADE, BIM can be suitable for hard-to-reach, narrow curved cut lines, as well as for general-purpose tasks with medium load or for fast, absolutely clean cuts in straight lines.

HM - hard alloy. This type SAWS (SAW BLADES) are used for specific work - sawing fiberglass, aerated concrete and even ceramic tiles.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SAW (SAW BLADE).

The high-quality steel of the SAW (SAW BLADE) does not yet guarantee that it will easily cope with the tasks. An important role is played not only by the material of manufacture, but also by the form.
SIZE OF BLANKS. First of all, you should decide what size details will be dissolved. It is indisputable that it is better to cut a beam with a section of 50X50mm or a furniture board with different SAWS. For wood, for example, the dimensions of the working part of the SAW vary from 51 to 126 mm. For sawing sheet metal short files (51mm) are intended, and long files (106mm) are more convenient for cutting pipes.
CUT TYPE. An important selection criterion is also the cutting geometry. A SAW for a straight cut perfectly holds the direction, however, it is unlikely to be able to cut a small radius - such a SAW has a wide back, which is why it “holds the line” so well. For these purposes, a special thin FILE is suitable for curly cut. In such a SAW BLADE, the back is even narrower than the shank. But in order to use it to perform a straight cut, you should be extremely careful.
CLEAN CUT. The criterion "STRAIGHT / CURVILINEAR CUT" when choosing a SAW is one of two fundamental questions. The second is the sawing speed, which is contrasted with the cleanliness of the edges of the part. When cutting boards, cutting speed is undoubtedly important. But when it comes to, for example, the manufacture of furniture, the quality of the cut plays a decisive role.
FORM OF THE TOOTH. The quality of the cut directly depends on the geometry of the tooth. The larger the TOOTH STEP (the distance between adjacent peaks), the faster and rougher the cut will be.
The shape of the teeth is also relevant: for example, in BOSCH SAW they are milled or ground. The former have a rectangular cross section and are intended for

mainly for working with metal, the latter are pointed and therefore more effective when it comes to working with wood.
TEETH SET. To give more "space", its teeth are bred. In this case, it cuts faster, but the cut is less accurate than that of the "straight-toothed" SAW.
Milled teeth can be not only set apart, but also lined up in a kind of wave. This got the name - "wavy". Such a SAW cuts more evenly than with wiring.
FILE PROGRESSOR. The variable size of the tooth with its increase from the shank to the end makes the SAW more versatile. The thicker the material being cut, the more large teeth are included in the work. It acquires even greater value if it is BIMETALLIC (BIM).

TYPES OF FASTENING THE FILE (SAW BLADE).

Today, every craftsman has a jigsaw in his home assortment. This device is quite useful, because it will easily allow you to accurately and accurately perform any manipulations with the material. When buying a jigsaw, as a rule, the majority also purchase saw blades "in reserve", the purpose of which they have no idea.

But when it's time to test the jigsaw in practice, then the choice of the required canvas occurs by the “poke” method, since it is quite difficult to immediately figure out which file is needed. For right choice such a tool as a jigsaw, you should know the variety of canvases, their marking and other nuances.

Markings

Knowledge of labeling will give you the opportunity to choose the right blade for a jigsaw, since it can tell quite a lot, including about its purpose. To do this, you only need to carefully look at the canvas and decipher the symbols that are indicated.

Marking, as a rule, from a set of Latin letters and numbers. In the marking, in the first place is the Latin letter, which indicates the type of shank.

The most common letters that you can see on the canvas are "T", "X". The most used is the marking with the Latin letter "T", and indicates that the tool shank has a T-about different shape. Quite rare is the canvas with the letter U.

Immediately after the letter comes a series of numbers, you should pay attention to the first one. The numbers indicate the length of the canvas:

• standard canvas 75 mm long;
• medium file 90 mm;
• elongated file 150 mm;
• long file, the size of which is more than 150 mm.

Immediately after the numbers, there are again letters that will help you find out the size of the teeth. The size of the teeth is indicated by the following letters:

• "A" - small teeth;
• "D" - large;
• "B", "C" - medium teeth, so to speak, an intermediate option.

Sometimes there is more than one last letter, but a few. In this case, the last letter indicates the quality consumable. The quality of the consumable is indicated by the following letters:

If you are interested in the fabric material, in this case, the following markings, which can be seen under the T-shaped protrusions of the tail and the canvas, will help. Three Latin letters will tell about the material from which the tool is made. This marking is divided into four options:

What to look for when choosing a jigsaw blade?

Tooth shape

Such a nuance as the "shape of the teeth", should not be ignored, since from their configuration it is possible to determine the capabilities of the purchased jigsaw. Before making a purchase, it is worthwhile to realize for what needs this or that canvas is purchased. A huge number of small teeth will significantly improve the quality of the cut, but at the same time the speed will be reduced. A blade with large teeth will greatly speed up the process, but the cut will be rather sloppy. According to the shape of the teeth, the canvas can be divided into the following groups:

Blade width and thickness

Such a nuance as the width and thickness of the jigsaw blade, should not be ignored when choosing a jigsaw, since criteria such as the quality and speed of the work depend on these two nuances different kind works. Both wide and narrow products have their positive aspects. The wide file is quite strong and stable. When using it, you can not worry that it will deviate from the intended course. Narrow canvases make it easier to perform various maneuvers compared to wide ones. Thickness is also important, because the thicker the web, the greater its stability.

Canvases for wood

The purpose of the jigsaw- direct work with wood, well, with those materials that are made on its basis. Jigsaws for wood have many varieties. Jigsaws are distinguished, both in terms of the size of the teeth, and in their sharpening, as well as in the shape of the file. There are two main varieties:

They are distinguished by the following parameters:

1. Blade length. This parameter determines the actual thickness of the cut.
2. Blade width.
3. The size of the teeth directly affects the cleanliness of the cut.
4. Orientation of the teeth.

Cloths for metal

Blades for electric jigsaw usually made from high speed steel. Such a product is quite solid and has a bluish tint. The file has a different tooth shape and the geometry of the blade itself. Depending on what kind of cut is needed, products with rather small teeth are used, which are exactly the same size. As a rule, a blade with such teeth is used for soft metals.

If the choice fell on a product that has teeth with varying geometry, the file is used to cut more solid metals. Such a product has teeth, where the pitch and size increases towards the edge. The advantage of this option is the direct simplification of the cut, since such a structure of the teeth, as it were, cuts the metal, while each of the teeth performs its own function. This file structure reduces the load on the tool as much as possible, therefore, increasing its resource. The same function is performed with a slightly curved canvas at the bottom.

All, without exception, jigsaw blades for metal have small teeth. These products have a certain marking, where you can always see the Latin letter “A” in the last or penultimate place. This letter indicates the strength of the metal. Before choosing a file for cutting metal, you need to understand what material it will be intended for. Because the harder the metal, the smaller the tooth should be.

When choosing a jigsaw file, it is worth considering the peculiarity of the material, because the wrong tool will not bring the desired result. To choose the right file, it is important to study the following marking list:

• T111CHCS - a carbon steel product that is used for cutting wood and plastic (length 75 mm, tooth pitch 3 mm);
• T119B0HCS - carbon steel, designed to work with soft woods (length 56 mm, tooth pitch 2 mm). As a rule, it is used when performing fine work, curly cutting;
• T101BHCS is a carbon steel blade used for cutting soft woods. The advantage of such a fabric is even cut(length 75 mm, tooth pitch 2.5 mm);
• T101BRHCS - also used for making carbon steel, the main nuance of the blade is reverse teeth. Designed to work with soft woods (length 75 mm, tooth pitch 2.5 mm);
• T118AHSS - used for the manufacture of hardened steel and is designed for hard metals (length 50 mm, tooth pitch 1.2 mm);
• T144D HCS - carbon steel is used, the blade has set teeth. The direct purpose of the blade is cutting hard and soft woods. (length 75 mm, tooth pitch 4 mm);
• T127DHSS - uses hardened steel, designed to work with non-ferrous metals. The blade has milled set teeth (length 75 mm, tooth pitch 3 mm);
• T118GHSS - Made from hardened high speed steel. The main difference lies in the wavy teeth and is used for hard metals. (length 50 mm, tooth pitch 0.8 mm);
• T118BHSS - made of hardened high speed steel, the shape of the teeth is phrased wavy. Main use for cutting hard metals (length 50 mm, pitch 2 mm).

Such a marking can be found directly at the foot of the jigsaw file.

Naturally, when files for a jigsaw are selected, you can’t remember all the nuances and criteria. When buying jigsaw blades, pay attention to the following points:

Speaking of the manufacturer you can safely say "Bosch", "Makita", "Practice". Electric jigsaws from these manufacturers have proven themselves well for their quality and durability. When choosing a file, remember its intended purpose, otherwise the goals set will not come true. Knowing the types of files used, and paying attention to the markings, the method of attachment, as well as the manufacturer, the correct choice is guaranteed.

The electric jigsaw is a high-speed device, which is why do not neglect the safety rules!

An electric jigsaw can be called a universal tool that allows you to make a straight and figured cut of a wide variety of materials - from soft wood to steel and glass. It is worth noting that the tool itself is universal, but not its equipment: the cut of each material is realized using a specific type of blade. However, in order to choose the right file, you need to find out what criteria to use during the selection. In this article, we will talk about what blades for an electric jigsaw are, what types of files for electric jigsaws are, and how to insert a file into an electric jigsaw.

Jigsaw files types and features

If you walk into a store and say you need jigsaw saws, the salesperson will show you a variety of various options. They come in different lengths, widths and thicknesses, have different tooth sizes and shank types.

Jigsaw files, based on the material being processed, are classified into:

• saw blade for electric jigsaw for metal. These blades are made from high speed steel. They can cut different types metals, including aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• jigsaw file for wood. These files are most often created from high carbon or chrome vanadium steel. They are designed to work with soft woods and wood-based panels.
• files for glass and ceramics. These blades are made of tungsten carbide alloy, which has high strength. You need to purchase such a canvas if you need to implement a large amount of work using a manual jigsaw, for example, with ceramic tiles
• universal saws. They are made from high speed steel for sawing wood, metal and plastic materials.

According to the type of operations performed, the files are divided into two categories:

• for a straight cut. These blades have a wide back, which makes it possible to guide it in a specific direction to obtain a straight cut.
• for curly cut. In such canvases, the back is narrower than the shank, as a result of which they are easy to direct in different directions. It turns out a smooth curly cut.

If you look closely at jigsaw files, you can see that they have a different tooth setting and sawing edge geometry. Not only the cleanliness of the cut depends on the type of wiring, but also what material such a file can be used to work with. Allocate:

• milled with classic wiring. Classic wiring is teeth alternately bent in different directions, by analogy with a hand saw. This type of setting reduces the heating of the saw blade during sawing, because the saw blade experiences virtually no friction in a fairly wide cut. However, a neat cut cannot be obtained, but a high cutting speed is achieved. Such files cut different varieties wood, plastic and non-ferrous metals
• milled with wavy wiring. In such a file, the teeth are directed in groups of several pieces. It is noteworthy that each tooth has a different amount of deviation from the central axis with its nearest neighbors. The working edge of the saw blade resembles a wave. The use of such a blade helps to make a clean cut on wood, chipboard or plywood, as well as on non-ferrous metal and plastic
• polished with classic wiring. The teeth of these canvases are set apart and polished. The cut with such files is quite wide. Such canvases help to quickly and quite cleanly cut wood and its derivatives - chipboard, fiberboard
• with conical grinding without setting. The blades of such files do not have teeth divorce, however, their segments are ground, as a result of which a thin cut line and an even cut are achieved. With the help of such files, you can accurately cut wood, laminate, as well as polymeric materials.

The most significant parameter for a file is the steel grade from which it is made. The blades are marked with the following:

Main characteristics

However, the high quality of steel is not a guarantee that it will cope with the tasks. Also play an important role:

• workpiece dimensions. Before buying, you need to decide on the size of the sawn blanks. For a bar with a section of 50X50mm and a furniture board, it is worth using different files. For timber, files with working part sizes from 51 to 126 mm are suitable. While short blades (51mm) are needed for cutting sheet metal, long blades (106mm) are more suitable for cutting pipes.
• cut type. Important criterion saw blade selection - cutting geometry. The blade for a straight cut holds the direction perfectly, but it will not work to create even a small radius with it, because it has a wide back. For such work, a special thin FILE for a figured cut is excellent.
• cut cleanliness. The cut quality is very important role in the process of creating furniture
• tooth shape. The cut quality index directly depends on the geometry of the tooth. The larger the pitch of the teeth, that is, the gap between adjacent vertices, the faster and rougher the line will turn out.
• tooth alignment. To give the canvas more "space", its teeth need to be parted. In this case, it will cut with more high speed, but the cut line will not be very accurate
• files progressor. Changing tooth size from shank to tip is a sign of versatility. With an increase in the thickness of the material being processed, a greater number of large teeth are connected to work.

Shank types

An important parameter in choosing a saw blade for a jigsaw can be called the type of its shank. There are such tails:

Fastening saw blades

The accuracy of the device and the level of its performance directly depend on the features listed above. However, there are other factors on which the convenience of working with a jigsaw depends. In the process of working with an electric jigsaw, each master is faced with replacing the saw blade. The most common shank type is European or Bosch. It has a cross configuration. Such canvases can be bought in every store, this is their main feature.

Most often there are such methods of fastening the canvas:

• front fastening in electric jigsaw
• quick-clamping fastening in an electric jigsaw.

In more budget options the block, tightened with two screws, clamps the canvas with a cut. These screws are in the frontal plane. This system has high compatibility, but inferior in other respects. For example, crooked fasteners can cause misalignment. If this happens, you need to carry out additional wedging. The impact of the saw on the workpiece with the butt end causes the front shoe to break in half or the threads of the screws to be stripped. Such problems can arise from illiterate handling of the tool.

The most convenient are electric jigsaws equipped with a system of quick-clamping fastening of the blade.

The essential difference from “regular cartridges” is that there is no versatility. Only blades with the same shank are suitable, in addition there is a backlash. However, often this does not play a big role, because the choice of paintings is simply huge. because there are so many paintings. The disadvantage of quick-release locks is the limited thickness of the blades. Inserting the canvas in such jigsaws is quite easy.

Fastening the blade in electric jigsaws with the method of fastening on locks implies the following sequence of work:

• open protective screen devices
• turn the lever located on the rod to insert the web
• after lowering the lever, you need to smoothly move the file into the clamp. However, it is worth considering that the file must have a thickness corresponding to the slot.

In order to insert the canvas into the device with a screw fastening system, you need to do the following:

Properly selected components make the work of any tool more convenient and enjoyable. Perhaps the most significant working element of the jigsaw is the saw blade. This consumable can turn the sawing process into an even and neat song, or vice versa, reduce the work to a crooked and gnawed nonsense. To save yourself from possible unpleasant situations and choose the canvas that is optimal for your purposes, it is useful to know their types and features. Jigsaw files, at first glance, may seem too diverse, but after reading this article, you will understand that their classification is simple and very convenient.

Deciphering the marking

To date, there are several standards for saw blades, each of which is assigned to a specific brand. Bosh files are the most popular in Europe. In second place is Makita. The third is shared by Festool, Hitachi and others. Since the marking of saw blades for the Bosch standard jigsaw is the most common, we will analyze it in more detail.

As you can see in the image above, the alphanumeric designations of the saw blade have their place and meaning. For a clearer disclosure of the overall picture, let's talk about each character in a nutshell.

Shank type can have several different variations, which must be considered by owners of jigsaws with quick-release fastening. If your tool has a shoe or screw clamp, you can install a blade with any shank into it.

saw blade length is selected based on the tasks and can exceed 150 mm. When choosing a long file, it is important to understand the power of your jigsaw, as not every tool is designed to work with thick materials. Also, a blade that is too long, when working with a relatively thin material, will vibrate strongly, which will significantly reduce the quality of the cut. Most optimal length for standard household wood jigsaws, is 75 mm. This indicator is due to the fact that such models will not be able to master thicker material.

Tooth size affects the quality and speed of cutting. If you are working with decorative or facing materials, it is better to choose a file with the smallest teeth (A). So the work will be much more accurate, albeit noticeably slower. For quick and rough sawing of boards, chipboard and similar materials, it is recommended to use blades with a larger tooth (B, C, D). Determine whether to sacrifice speed or quality should be based on the tasks.

Special Options indicate the features of the saw blade and have a direct impact on the quality of certain types of work. Briefly about each parameter:

• F - Bimetallic. Sufficiently flexible blade with very strong teeth, which is a symbiosis of two metals. It is used for straight and figured cutting of metal and has increased wear resistance.
• O - With a narrow back. Relatively thin file for electric jigsaw, used for figured cutting.
• P - For precise cut. Thick blade, resistant to bending during operation. Great for precise, straight cuts at a certain angle.
• X - Teeth with progressive pitch. Multipurpose blades suitable for cutting wood, plastic and metal. For its versatility, they pay with the quality of the cut, which leaves much to be desired.
• R - Reversible (reverse) teeth. Unlike the standard direction, upwards, the teeth of the reversible blades are directed downwards. When working with a jigsaw with a similar file, chips are formed on the opposite side.

In addition to the standard European marking, which not all manufacturers adhere to, there is a single designation that can be found in the description of any saw blade.

saw blade material
Depending on the material being processed, saw blades can be made from the following steel grades:

• CV - chrome vanadium steel. It is used in the production of saw blades for wood and its derivatives (plywood, fiberboard, chipboard and others).
• HCS - alloy (carbon) steel. Suitable for cutting wood and plastic.
• HSS - high speed steel. Used for cutting metals.
• BM (Bi-Metal) - a bi-metal blade is a mixture of two steel grades (HCS and HSS), where the back of the file has an HCS alloy, and the teeth are HSS. Bi-metal blades are very strong and manoeuvrable, and can be used for straight and curved cuts in wood and metal.
• HIM is an alloy based on tungsten carbide. Files made of steel of this grade are used to work with ceramics, foam blocks and similar materials.

In addition to dry technical data, the manufacturer can indicate a clear purpose of the saw blade. Often, information about the type of materials and type of work is indicated on the packaging, but there are times when these designations are written directly on the file. Below are variants of the most common verbal designations with an explanation.

For what material

• Wood - Blades for plywood, chipboard, fiberboard and soft woods.
• Hardwood - Blades for sawing dense woods and laminates.
• Metal - For working with ferrous metals.
• Alu - For cutting aluminium.
• Inox - For stainless steel.
• Fiber&Plaster - For cutting polymer products.
• Soft-material - A versatile blade for working with metals, plastics and wood.

Working purpose

• Basic - A file with an average cut quality. The best option for everyday use at home.
• Clean - A blade for making a clean cut.
• Speed ​​- For rough but fast cuts.
• Flexible - Flexible saw blade for working with metal.

Types of jigsaw files

The variety of saw blades today is beyond the comprehension of the average user. Jigsaw saws are divided according to dimensions, tooth pitch, types of cutting edges and other parameters that are completely alien and uninteresting to most buyers. At the same time, everyone wants to work with an optimally tuned tool and get the result of proper quality. To briefly and clearly explain to you how to choose a jigsaw file, we have divided them into the most popular materials.

Jigsaw blades for wood

Sawing of wood and its derivatives is carried out with blades of steel grades CV, HCS and BM. The size of the teeth depends on the type of material being processed and the requirements for the quality of the cutting line:

A and B are blades with the smallest teeth. Used for clean cutting of laminate.
C - medium teeth with the corresponding cut quality. Popular for working with chipboard, fiberboard, plywood and wood.
D- maximum length tooth. Used for quick but rough sawing of chipboard and wood.
For straight cutting decorative materials(coated board or laminate), a T101BR file (medium reversible teeth) will do.

Timber or thick wood is best sawed with a T344C blade (long with large teeth). The size of the file should be selected based on the thickness of the material being cut.

The main qualities that a chipboard file for a jigsaw should have is a small length (up to 75 cm), class A or B teeth with an average pitch of 2-3 mm.

Figured sawing is best done with a dense type T101BO (with medium-sized teeth and a thin back).

Jigsaw blades for metal

Sawing metal electric jigsaw, occurs with the use of files from the following steel grades: HSS and BM. Such cutting elements are characterized by a small tooth with a wave-like dilution (as on a hacksaw). Bimetallic types jigsaw files (BM) have larger teeth that decrease towards the base.


For cutting sheet metal, 1-3 mm thick, a T118A file, up to 75 cm long, with a fine tooth, is suitable.

Thicker metal, up to 6 mm, is best sawed with an instance of T118B, the same length (up to 75 cm), but with larger teeth.

Pipes or metal profiles, 1-3 mm thick, are conveniently sawn with blades of the T318A type (90-150 mm, with a fine tooth).

To work with very thin sheets (from 0.5 to 1.5), a jigsaw file for metal, brand T118G (up to 75 cm, with a microscopic tooth), is suitable.

Files for plastic

To work with a jigsaw with PVC products, blades from the following steel grades are used: CV, HCS, HSS and BM. Here, special files for plastic (Fiber & Plaster), and ordinary ones, for wood or metal, are suitable. When working with this material, it is better to give preference to large teeth (B, C, D). If, however, only files with fine teeth are available, it is recommended to set the minimum stroke speed on the tool, since heated plastic filings can seriously clog the cutting part.

It is better to cut thick plastic with a bi-metal blade T101BF (up to 75 cm, medium-sized tooth). The speed in this case should be below average.

Plexiglas and plastic sheets can be cut quite confidently with a fine-toothed metal file T101A.

Ceramic jigsaw blade

The brittle structure of ceramics differs significantly from flexible metal and fibrous wood. To cut such material, special blades are required, which differ from the usual ones in the absence of teeth, in place of which, tungsten carbide or diamond coating is applied. Jigsaw blade for tiles, made of carbide material, with the designation “HM”.

In most cases, the specimens presented in stores consist of an alloy of tungsten carbide and can only cope with wall tiles. There are stronger, diamond jigsaw blades for stone that can cut floor tiles.
When working with an electric jigsaw with ceramics, it should be understood that this tool is not intended for such material. This device, it is better to use for curly cuts, and for straight lines - a tile cutter or a grinder.

For cardboard

Jigsaw blades for cardboard, rubber, foam and other soft materials, has a wavy cutting part, without any teeth. When working, the file does not crumble or tear the material, but smoothly and accurately divides it into even parts.

Great for cutting carpet and is much cheaper than professional scissors.

The best jigsaw files

A variety of various brands allows us to make the best choice for the budget, the choice of saw blade. Among the offered products you can find consumables of different quality. If you talk about which jigsaw files are better, you can select several manufacturers: Bosh, Makita and Matabo.

The most common, with a quality that exceeds the price, are the original paintings of the Bosh brand, of any classification. Jigsaw blades of this brand have perfect performance and are very easy to use. Unfortunately, among the offers, there are often low-quality fakes that create a false impression of this company. Fortunately, there are several proven ways to distinguish a fake jigsaw file from the original.

1. Counterfeit is made by stamping from big sheet metal, as a result, one of the sides of the saw blade has slightly rounded edges. Bosch original saw blades are perfectly sharpened on all sides.
2. Poor quality metal with corrosion and defects indicates a defective product.
3. The inscriptions and emblems on the file must be clear, without blurry contours. If the print on the file is lopsided and blurred, then you have a fake in front of you.
