Sutton H589 Recipro Blade Set Metal Cutting

The Sutton H589 is a five piece recipro blade set built for metal cutting work, from demolition and pipe cutting to trimming metal profiles. Each blade has a bi-metal construction that combines flexibility with heat resistance and strength, and the hardened cutting edges are optimised for steel, aluminium, copper and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The universal shank fits most leading reciprocating saw brands.

What You Need To Complete The Job

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these blades fit my reciprocating saw?

The blades use a universal shank, which the listing says fits most leading reciprocating saw brands. If your saw takes the standard universal shank type, the set will work. Check the shank style on your saw if you are unsure before ordering.

What metals can the set cut?

The listing covers steel, aluminium, copper and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. That makes the set useful for metal pipe, conduit, sheet and profile work. For thicker steel, use a slower stroke and let the bi-metal teeth do the cutting.

How long do bi-metal recipro blades last?

Bi-metal blades combine a hard cutting edge with a flexible body, which resists heat and breakage far better than a plain high carbon blade. In normal metal cutting use, a set of five gives a long run of work before the blades need changing.

Is this set only for demolition work?

No. While the blades suit demolition, the listing also covers fabrication, pipe cutting and on-site repair work. The five blades give you a selection for different metal jobs, and the universal shank means one set follows you across saws.

How do I get the best cut in metal?

Run the saw at a steady stroke and let the bi-metal teeth do the cutting, with light to moderate pressure on the saw. A cutting lubricant on the cut helps on thicker steel, and stopping to clear the swarf keeps the teeth cutting clean. Match the blade to the metal you are cutting and the cut stays fast and straight.

Do these blades suit a demolition saw?

Yes. The set is built for the metal cutting side of demolition, including cutting pipes, conduits and metal fixtures out. The bi-metal construction resists the impact and heat of the work, so the blades hold up where a plain steel blade would dull or snap.
