THE BEST BLADES FOR CUTTING METAL

MATCH YOUR ACCESSORY TO YOUR METAL JOB

In addition to the tool at hand, the best metal cutting blades will depend largely on the type of metal being cut and the number of cuts.

Power tool accessories are often sold simply as ‘for metal’, but in fact, there is a huge difference in the quality of the accessory required to cut the softest metals and the hardest metals. Bosch metal cutting accessories with Carbide Technology are purpose-built to match the type of metal being cut as well as the type of cut required.

Carbide-tipped blades for jigsaws, reciprocating saws, and oscillating multitools give professional craftspeople freedom of movement when working. Cut in the niches and corners of metal pipes and fittings, neatly cut out shapes in fine sheet metal, and achieve perfect flush cuts for protruding pipes and screws. There are even hole saws with carbide teeth for circular cutting in sheet metal or nail-embedded wood.

Cutting Nails, Screws, and Embedded Metal Easily

Nails and screws are often found embedded in wood that needs to be cut in a refurbishment or demolition operation. Modern nails and screws are usually made of hardened steel.

Similarly, pipes and rebar are often buried in other construction materials. Extracting these metal elements would be time-consuming or even impossible. It is easier just to cut through them.

With pipes, rebar, and protruding screws, you will want to achieve a neat flush cut. The best way to cut metal nails and screws like this is by using a carbide-tipped blade like the EXPERT MetalMax.

The Best Blades for Cutting Steel Effectively

Cutting stainless steel is a common job in construction and vehicle building. Thanks to Bosch Carbide Technology, sheet metal can now be cut effectively with a jigsaw or a reciprocating saw blade.

All you need is a blade with carbide teeth and, typically, a fine-tooth pitch. Smaller, finer teeth are generally better when it comes to cutting fine metal like sheet metal and thin-walled stainless steel pipes and profiles.

Additionally, the Bosch carbide range includes multitool blades and hole saws that can make accurate, clean cuts in sheet metal – including high-grade stainless steel.

Accessories tipped with carbide can cut more effectively and offer longer accessory life, therefore giving you the best value for regular, tough metalworking jobs.
