Sutton H513 Sheet Metal Recipro Blades 225mm

The Sutton H513 is a Dominator recipro blade for sheet metal, sold here as a 2 pack in the 225mm length. It is a high performance blade with an extra tall and thin body for fast, accurate and straight plunge cuts in metal, suited to cutting steel, stainless steel and metal pipe. The 25mm tall body reduces twisting for straighter cuts, and the thin kerf keeps the blade flexible and fast. Made from cobalt bi-metal HSS, it lasts up to 10 times longer than a high carbon steel blade. Made in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dominator blade?

Dominator is the Sutton high performance recipro blade range for metal. The blades have an extra tall, thin body that stays straight under load, giving fast, accurate cuts in sheet steel and pipe where a standard blade would flex and wander.

Why is the 25mm tall body important?

A tall body resists twisting, so the blade holds its line through the cut instead of bending sideways. That is what gives the straight, accurate cuts in sheet metal that the Dominator range is built for.

What materials does the 225mm blade suit?

The listing covers steel, stainless steel and metal pipe. The 18TPI tooth pitch suits the thin to medium wall material, and the cobalt bi-metal edge keeps cutting through the harder metals without dulling quickly.

Can I plunge cut with this blade?

Yes. The increased tang angle and thin body make the blade well suited to plunge cutting into sheet metal, letting you start a cut in the middle of a panel rather than from an edge.

What stroke speed should I use for sheet metal?

Run the saw at a steady, moderate stroke and let the blade do the cutting, with light pressure on the saw. Too fast a stroke overheats the edge and too much pressure twists the thin body, so find the pace where the blade cuts freely without binding, and keep the cut lubricated on steel.
