Product Description
Milwaukee Jig Saw High Carbon Steel 8 TPI 3-1/8 in. — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-42-0240
The Milwaukee 48-42-0240 is a 5-pack of 3-1/8 in. High Carbon Steel 8 TPI Jig Saw Blades — a mid-length wood-cutting blade providing the balance of 8 TPI cutting speed and 3-1/8 in. blade length that fits applications between the compact 2-3/4 in. short blade and the standard 4 in. general-purpose length. The 3-1/8 in. length is appropriate for materials and access situations where a 4 in. blade extends beyond the required depth of cut and creates unnecessary blade length projecting below the work surface, and where a 2-3/4 in. blade is marginally short for the material thickness or access clearance needed. High carbon steel construction provides wood-cutting blade sharpness and edge retention adequate for the lower cutting demands of wood applications compared to metal, at a cost-effective price point relative to bi-metal construction. Milwaukee designs jig saw blades specifically for professional users with material specification and geometry that produce consistent cutting performance throughout the blade's service life.
The 8 TPI tooth count is the general-purpose wood-cutting specification that balances cutting speed and cut surface quality for dimensional lumber, plywood, OSB, and general construction wood materials — coarse enough for productive cutting speed without being so aggressive that cut edge quality becomes unacceptable for the application. The combination of 3-1/8 in. blade length, 8 TPI, and high carbon steel makes this a versatile everyday wood-cutting blade for carpenters and construction workers who need a practical, economical jig saw blade supply for general cutting tasks where neither the longest blade length nor the most durable bi-metal construction is required. The 5-pack provides a multi-blade supply for projects where several blade changes are expected.
For demanding nail-embedded and mixed-material cutting applications, Milwaukee's bi-metal jig saw blades provide the impact toughness and extended life that high carbon steel blades cannot match — see Milwaukee's complete jig saw blade lineup for all options.
