If you have been involved in construction or demolition work, you most likely have used a reciprocatong blades. For starters, it is a machine-powered saw that performs cutting actions by pushing and pulling the blade. So, how to choose the right reciprocating blade in the work?

The most common are 6-inch and 9-inch blades, but you can also find 4-inch, 6-inch, 9-inch, and 12-inch long blades, which are mostly used as standard size blades. The shorter the blade, the harder it is.

In order to obtain straight or square cuts, rigid blades are your best choice. You can use a short blade to cut thin metal and copper pipes. Long blades will give you more flexibility, although overheating can be a bit annoying.

In addition, the long blade is best for demolition work. Please always keep in mind that the blade length should be greater than the density of the material you are cutting. Please do not use a long blade, because it is easy to shake and will not give you the cutting effect you want.

The wide saw blade will provide you with higher durability and stability. The wider blade can resist tilt and vibration, providing you with effective clean cutting. As I said before, you can use a wider blade for heavy demolition work. 0.75 inch to 1 inch is considered a wide blade.

The thicker the blade, the better the durability and vibration resistance. You can use 1.27 mm thick blades to perform heavy demolition work very efficiently. Firefighters use 1.57 mm thick blades for firefighting and rescue and other related heavy-duty material cutting. For housework, you can use 0.88 mm standard load blades.
