Product Description
Milwaukee Jig Saw Bi-Metal 24 TPI 5-1/4 in. — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-42-5166
The Milwaukee 48-42-5166 is a 5-pack of 5-1/4 in. Bi-Metal 24 TPI Jig Saw Blades — the finest-tooth bi-metal jig saw blade in an extended length format for the smoothest possible cuts in thin metal at the 5-1/4 in. depth of cut capacity. The 5-1/4 in. blade length provides additional cutting depth compared to the standard 3 in. compact version of the 24 TPI specification, serving applications where the material thickness or cutting depth requirement exceeds the shorter blade's capacity — thicker metal enclosures, heavy-gauge sheet metal, and cutting applications where the complete cut depth requires more than 3 in. of blade in the material. The 24 TPI ultra-fine tooth count maximizes the number of teeth simultaneously engaged with thin metal material during each cutting stroke, producing the smoothest possible cut surface with minimum burr formation of any jig saw blade specification.
Bi-metal construction bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible alloy steel body — the HSS teeth provide the cutting edge hardness for fine metal cutting while the alloy body resists the fatigue cracking that makes all-HSS blades brittle at the bending loads of jig saw operation. At 5-1/4 in. length, the longer blade section in the material kerf also provides improved straight-cut tracking through thicker metal — the extended in-kerf length maintains straighter cut orientation under the lateral forces of thick metal cutting where shorter blades would deflect from the cut line. The 5-pack provides a practical supply for sheet metal and fabrication projects requiring the finest available cut quality at this extended blade length.
See Milwaukee's complete jig saw blade lineup for all bi-metal 24 TPI lengths and for standard, compact, and extended blade format options across all TPI specifications.
