Product Description
Milwaukee Jig Saw High Speed Steel 24 TPI 2-3/4 in. — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-42-0140
The Milwaukee 48-42-0140 is a 5-pack of 2-3/4 in. High Speed Steel 24 TPI Jig Saw Blades — the finest-tooth specification in Milwaukee's jig saw blade lineup, engineered for ultra-clean, smooth cuts in the thinnest metals, non-ferrous sheet materials, and plastic where cut surface quality and minimal burr formation are the primary performance requirements. At 24 TPI, the tooth density is the highest available in standard jig saw blade specifications — the extremely high tooth count keeps the maximum number of teeth simultaneously engaged with thin workpiece material at any point during the cutting stroke, producing the smoothest possible cut surface finish and the least burr formation of any jig saw blade specification. This fine-tooth characteristic makes 24 TPI blades the professional standard for cutting thin aluminum sheet, thin stainless steel, copper sheeting, ABS plastic panels, and other thin, smooth-finish materials where a coarser blade would leave an unacceptably rough cut edge requiring substantial deburring work.
High-speed steel construction provides the blade hardness needed for metal cutting in thin non-ferrous materials and steel sheet at a cost-effective price point for applications where the cutting demands do not require the extended life premium of bi-metal construction. The 2-3/4 in. blade length is the short-blade specification suited to thin material cutting where blade stiffness and controlled deflection improve cut accuracy — short blades deflect less laterally than longer blades under the cutting forces applied during jig saw operation, which directly improves straight-cut accuracy and reduces blade wandering in precision sheet metal and plastic cutting work. The 5-pack provides a practical blade supply for sheet metal fabrication and precision cutting applications where maintaining a sharp blade through the project produces better results than cutting with a dulled blade to avoid changing it.
For higher-volume thin metal cutting where bi-metal blade life is warranted, Milwaukee's bi-metal jig saw lineup in comparable TPI specifications offers extended service life — see the complete Milwaukee jig saw blade catalog for all specifications.
