Bosch Stainless Steel Jig Saw Blades Deliver 2x Longer Life



Mount Prospect, Ill., July 2, 2008 - Specialty jobs call for specialty tools and accessories and Bosch, the world's leading manufacturer of jigsaw blades, has introduced its Stainless Steel blades.

Until now, most users have used a standard bi-metal blade in stainless steel that quickly dulls and produces a less than desired cut. Bosch's new blades are bi-metal with an eight percent cobalt steel additive which increases heat and wear resistance. This gives users a blade that last twice as long as a Bi-Metal blade and costs much less than blades with a carbide strip.

The Stainless Steel blades are suited for cutting thin and medium gauge steels. They are available in 18-TPI for 8 to 16 gauge steel and 36-TPI for thinner steel, from 16 to 26 gauge.

For optimal performance and durability, it is recommended to add oil to the cutting surface to reduce heat build-up and the tool should not operate faster than 1,500 strokes per minute in a non-orbital stroke mode.
