Reciprocating Saw Blades

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What makes the Advanced Edge Power series better for demolition?
  A: Demolition work causes standard blades to bend and snap. The Advanced Edge Power series features an oversized 1-inch width and thicker profile, which provides the structural rigidity needed to plunge cut and stay straight through heavy, mixed materials.

• Q: Why does Morse use Master Cobalt in their reciprocating blades?
  A: Incorporating cobalt into the bi-metal matrix creates teeth with vastly superior thermal resistance. This ensures the cutting edges stay sharp even when subjected to the high-friction environment of dry metal sawing.

• Q: What is the purpose of the variable pitch design on Morse reciprocating blades?
  A: A variable pitch design uses alternating tooth sizes and gullet depths across the blade. This varies the cutting rhythm, which dampens harsh vibrations, reduces operator fatigue, and delivers a smoother cut across multi-material surfaces.

• Q: How does the thickness of a reciprocating saw blade affect its performance?
  A: Thicker blades (.042" to .062") offer maximum rigidity and resistance to bending, making them the industry standard for heavy-duty demolition and straight plunge cuts. Thinner blades (.035") are more flexible, which is ideal for flush-cutting pipes level with walls or floors.
