Saw Blade Guide

Most homeowners will have an electric saw in their toolkit. They’re incredibly useful for cutting things like wood, plastic and metal, and they are typically handheld or mounted onto a worktop to make projects easier to undertake.

Electric saws, as mentioned, can be used to cut many different materials, making them perfect for household DIY projects. They’re an all-encompassing piece of kit, but one blade does not fit all. Depending on the project you’re embarking on, you will need to swap out the blades to avoid damaging the saw and to get the best possible finish when cutting.

To make it easier for you to identify which blades you need, we’ve put together this saw blade guide.

Jigsaws

The first type of electric saw is a jigsaw which is a straight blade that moves in an up and down movement. Jigsaws can be used to create long, straight cuts or smooth, curved cuts. We have jigsaw wood saw blades available to buy online, ideal for wood.

Whether you’re looking for Dewalt, Makita or Evolution saw blades, our universal pack of five will suit your model of saw. We’ve highlighted some of the key attributes of this pack below:
