That combination is what lets it cut steel and still bend instead of snapping when the shoe rides off the material. High-carbon blades are cheaper and cut wood faster, but they will not survive metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick the Tooth Count for the Job:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tooth count is a wall-thickness decision, not a preference. 18 TPI clears chips out of pipe, angle iron and heavier steel without loading the gullets; 24 TPI keeps three or more teeth inside the cut on thin-wall conduit, sheet metal under 1\/8 in. and copper tube. Too coarse and thin metal snags; too fine and thick metal glazes the teeth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank and Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard 1\/2 in. universal shank, so the blade goes straight into Milwaukee Sawzall, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi and most other reciprocating saws and cordless sabre saws without an adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich tooth count to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePitch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 TPI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThin-wall material: EMT conduit, sheet metal under 1\/8 in., copper and PVC pipe, aluminium trim.
