New Jigsaw Blades From Bosch

Two new jigsaw blades are now available from Bosch, both made with carbide brazing that is said to improve blade life by 10x when compared with standard bi-metal blades. The T-Shank Bosch Carbide for All Purpose and Bosch Carbide for High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) jigsaw blades are made specifically for tough laminate, wood with nails, and other hard materials, like steel pipe.

Both blades are equipped with a tapered-ground back design and a thin blade kerf.
