Bosch T141HM1 1-Piece 4 In. 6 TPI Carbide-Tipped Special for Fiber and Plaster T-Shank Jig Saw Blades

After using several other brands and different blades for various materials, metal, wood, wood with nails, etc, these by far outperformed Diablo, Milwaukee, and a few others. Faster than multi-tool, better than table saw when having to rip just a few or cutting around walls, toilets, any other obstacles that you’re bound to encounter when laying lots of flooring. Can’t speak to how they work for any other materials, only bought these to try on LVP, all other blades I’ve tried were good for one full rip before they slowed down until it was faster to just get out a multi-tool or score and break like the ends, only it’s quite a bit harder to score and break one long ways, and that sure won’t work when cutting around other obstacles.. if you’re just doing something as simple as a single bathroom buy these, it’ll be worth it. If you’re doing lots of flooring, definitely buy these, save yourself some time!! They work, I’ve got probably 8 rips and half dozen corners cut on one blade so far and it has barely dulled or slowed. They do have a pretty large kerf and I have busted a couple teeth making too sharp a curve cut. Still cuts fast and clean though. Just don’t expect to make any tight turns.

I purchased these primarily to make precision cuts in thick laminate shelves and the results were outstanding. The cut edges were extremely smooth and free from any chipping on either side of the shelves. I highly recommend.

I am building a pretty big outdoor BBQ island using steel studs and Hardie Backerboard 1/2" thick cement boards. There are a lot of details in my design and requires a good amount of detailed cutting of the cement boards -- including 3 electrical outlets, 1 light switch, 4 ventilation rectangular holes, a cutout for the sink, a cutout for the side burner, 3 storage doors, and a series of angled cuts for the bar area. Translation: I needed to cut a total of at least 100' of 1/2" cement board with a controlled saw -- namely, a jigsaw.At first, I tried a number of different jigsaw blades that I already had -- which turns out to be all blades designed for cutting woods and metals. Those blades would last about 1' through the cement board before their teeth was completely grinded down to a smooth surface. I did manage to get as much as 2' with a couple of them. After eating through 5-6 blades with less than 10' of cement board cut, I found this Bosch T141HM1 on Amazon. It fit perfectly in my Black & Decker JS660 Jig Saw with Smart Select Dial.I am very pleased to say, that this single blade alone was able to take me through the rest of all the cuts needed for my BBQ island and I see no visible wear on the teeth after all those cuts! Also, it's a very sturdy blade -- without bending or twisting when making round cuts. If you're looking to cut fine details or cutouts in cement boards like Hardie, Wonderboard, Durarock, etc., I would HIGHLY recommend you stop search and buy this blade! You won't regret it!Word of caution: Do make sure you wear protective gear when cutting cement boards as it will produce a lot of silica dust -- known to cause cancer.

I make cutting boards from solid surface materials manufactured by Dupont, Wilsonart and just about every other brand on the market. I purchased them after going through about 20 jigsaw blades I traditionally use for wood. Initially these blades perform admirably, but after about cutting 200 feet of hardsurface 1/2 inch thick material they begin to lose their cutting ability though slower cutting capacity and increased vibration. If you only occassionally cut this type material you'll be glad you obtained these Bosch blades, but if you are like me working in production style small shop, cutting material all day, you will find yourself having to change blades. Bosch sells these in a 3 pack configuration which should serve you well. Expect to pay 3 times as much for this specialty jigsaw blades. But, I have yet have one break during use. At about $30.00 for a 3 blade pack, they are worth the added expense.

Finding information on how to cut hardiebacker is surprisingly difficult. I'm cutting the 1/4" and this blade has been a godsend for me.Hardiebacker is full of materials which will dull high speed steel tools really quickly. I've destroyed a few drill bits so far. Scoring with a carbide tool works well for long cuts, but if you need to make cutouts for outlets, or need to trim 1/4" off an edge, or just need a clean accurate cut, I highly recommend this blade. Using my very-cheap black and decker jigsaw I can get very clean cuts using this blade. The nice thing about the jigsaw is that the relatively small motion of the saw and thin kerf produce less dust than a circular saw or something.Will buy other bosch specialty jigsaw blades in the future.

I bought these for all the cutouts while installing LVP flooring, and unfortunately I had lots of them. These cut thru the LVP like butter. They didn't cause vibration on the planks and stayed true to my line. They didn't leave a lot of burrs and didn't get dull. I actually only used 1 and could probably use it for more. Solid product.

I just finished about 30 feet of 1/8 thick carbon fiber with intricate curves. I previouly used diamond coated blades. The diamond blades work, but this blade turns corners much better, cuts faster with less fussy-ness.The blade shows no wear after 30 feet. Diamond also wears well, but the diamond blade often builds epoxy junk from the binding in my cruves. There was no buildup on this blade.and just to state the obvious.....regular steel blade have their teeth disappear in a single foot of carbon fiber

If you are cutting LVP you need this blade. Other blades will dull with 2-3 cuts. This did the whole job (Whole house).
