Bosch Expands Application Focused Reciprocating Saw Blades to 60

Bosch the world’s leading linear edge blade manufacturer – hole, jig and reciprocating saw blades – expanded its application focused professional reciprocating saw blade line to 60 blades in demolition, heavy and standard user categories. Now, with the fastest and longest lasting blade solution available, professionals continue to count on saving time and money with Bosch. There is no question; selecting the correct accessory for the application means faster and better results.

And with a focus on application, Bosch recognizes that faster and better results equate to profit.

The new Bosch reciprocating saw blade line specifically addresses three basic user categories: demolition, heavy-use and standard. And to help make the selection process even simpler, it has expanded its user-friendly color coding and labeling system to gray for wood, blue for metal, white for all-purpose and wood with nails, dark blue for demo and black for specialty application blades. Focusing deeper into each blade line, the abusive effort surrounding demolition work requires a tough long lasting blade.

The expanded Bosch Demolition Blade line offers the thickest blade body at .062 inches, adding stability, durability and smoother cuts. An aggressive 2x2 tooth geometry includes the alternating set of two tooth sizes & reinforced teeth for greater cutting efficiency, up to 20% faster than the leading competitor in metal, for example, and longer life. Additionally, a 5/8 variable teeth per inch (TPI) and reinforced tooth structure enhance the speed and life of each Wood with Nails blade.

For General Demolition blades, .05-inch thickness and 10/14 variable tooth pitch optimizes each blades’ ability to cut multiple materials sandwiched together, such as drywall and metal or wood framing. And in situations where low light may slow work down, the patented glow-in-the-dark coating of the Bosch Rescue and Demolition blade makes it the perfect choice for tackling all types of materials and situations, whether in an emergency or not.

New Bosch Demolition Blades include:

• Demolition for Wood with Nails: 6, 9, and 12 -inch lengths at 5/8 TPI
• Demolition for Metal: 6 and 9 -inch lengths at 8+10 TPI
• For Demolition: 6, 9, and 12 -inch lengths at 10/14 TPI
• Special for Rescue and Demolition: 6, 9 and 12 –inch lengths at 10/14 TPI

Frequent Heavy Blade users look for the fastest and most accurate cut possible.

And when able to utilize Specialty Blades for particular applications, professionals truly benefit. The line’s 2x2, Progressive and variable tooth patterns allow each blade to perform at optimal speed and durability levels. Furthermore, patented Progressive tooth patterns allow each Bosch PROGRESSOR® blade to handle varying material thickness with tooth size decreasing towards the shank, so users don’t need to switch out accessories. Thicker and taller blades provide straighter cuts with less vibration and long life. Carbide teeth on specialty blades tackle abrasive applications such as stainless steel, cement board/fiber/plaster and cast iron/block.
