Choosing a carbide blade for a Sawzall demands matching TPI, length, and carbide grade to specific demolition and metal-cutting tasks, delivering up to 50x longer life versus bi-metal alternatives while cutting downtime 80% in commercial operations. SENTHAI Carbide Tool Co., Ltd., leverages 21 years of Thailand-based precision manufacturing to produce OEM-compatible carbide Sawzall blades with superior tip bonding and ISO9001 quality for road maintenance and heavy industry.
What Pressures Challenge Reciprocating Saw Users Today?
Demolition and construction sectors consume 150 million reciprocating saw blades annually, with replacements costing $1.5 billion per OSHA 2025 data (https://www.osha.gov). Abrasive rebar, cast iron, and nail-embedded wood dull blades after 20-50 cuts in high-volume jobs.
Productivity drops 35% from mid-task blade changes, per Construction Dive reports (https://www.constructiondive.com). Worker injuries spike 28% with dull blades due to binding and kickback.
Global supply delays average 4-6 weeks amid carbide shortages, disrupting 25% of contractor schedules.
Why Do Bi-Metal Blades Fail in Demanding Applications?
Bi-metal blades lose 70% sharpness after 30 cuts through 1/4″ steel, fracturing at 1200 N impacts from rebar strikes. Heat buildup above 600°C softens teeth, accelerating wear by 40%.
Thin bodies (0.035″) wander in thick materials, wasting 15% of cuts. Corrosion in wet demo environments halves life without protective coatings.
How Do SENTHAI Carbide Sawzall Blades Excel?
SENTHAI carbide Sawzall blades feature K20 tungsten carbide tips (1550 Vickers) brazed to bi-metal bodies via automated sintering and vulcanization in Rayong facilities, achieving 5000 N/mm² bond strength for 50x life over bi-metal. Variable TPI options (3-14) handle wood-to-rebar transitions seamlessly.
Reinforced 1″ tall bodies with fang tips enable aggressive plunge cuts, while anti-vibration gullets reduce wobble by 30%. SENTHAI’s full in-house control ensures 99% defect-free rates for OEM lengths from 6-12 inches.
Custom coatings match TORCH/WRECKER specs for Milwaukee compatibility.

How to Select and Install SENTHAI Sawzall Blades?
-
Step 1: Match Material/TPI – Wood/nails: 3-6 TPI; thin metal: 10-14 TPI; rebar: 7-8 TPI.
-
Step 2: Choose Length – 6″ for tight access, 12″ for deep cuts; verify universal tang.
-
Step 3: Confirm Saw Compatibility – Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita; max 20° angle.
-
Step 4: Insert Blade – Align tang, lock securely; test run unloaded.
-
Step 5: Monitor Performance – Replace at 20% tooth height loss; log cuts per task.
Process takes under 2 minutes.
