The Century Metal Series 12" reciprocating saw blade features 5% cobalt high-speed steel teeth electron-beam welded to a shock-absorbing alloy backbone. The fine 14/18 variable-pitch tooth pattern is the standard choice for thinner metals - electrical conduit (EMT, Schedule 40 PVC over wire), copper and PEX water lines, sheet steel up to 1/8", auto body panels, and stainless tubing - where finer teeth prevent grabbing and tearing.

• 5% cobalt bi-metal teeth deliver up to 20x the life of standard blades in metal
• Shock-absorbing alloy backbone resists snapping under load
• 1" blade width and 0.042" heavy-duty thickness for stable straight cuts
• 14/18 TPI variable pitch leaves a clean burr-free edge in stock under 1/8"
• 1/2" universal shank fits all major reciprocating saws (DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, Ridgid)
• 12" length reaches deep into walls, joists, and double-wall HVAC for flush cuts
• MPN 07198 (Century 07X9X family: third digit = length, last digit = TPI class)

Tip: Turn the saw's orbital action OFF for thin metal and run at 50-75% speed. A few drops of cutting wax or oil per cut keeps the fine teeth from loading up with chips and prevents premature dulling.
