Meet the DEWALT 1-1/4 in. Bi-Metal General Purpose Oscillating Blade β a compact, durable blade built to tackle a wide range of tasks with your oscillating tool. Its bi-metal construction combines a tough backing with high-speed steel teeth, providing long life and enhanced resistance to tooth wear even when you encounter nails or other hard materials in DIY and professional projects.
What makes this blade stand out
-
Bi-metal engineering: A smart blend of materials delivers durability, flexibility, and longevity, so you can cut through wood, plastic, and soft metals without frequent blade changes.
-
1-1/4 inch length: A forgiving yet precise size ideal for tight spots, flush cuts, and detailed work in cramped spaces where larger blades canβt reach.
-
General purpose versatility: Designed to handle a variety of tasks from remodeling and cabinetry to crafting projects, making it a reliable all-around blade in your toolkit.
-
Universal fitment: Works with most oscillating tools with standard arbors, giving you a single blade option that covers multiple tool brands and models.
Materials and applications
This blade is purpose-built for versatility. Use it to slice through wood for trim and finishing, cut plastics for clean gaps, and tackle light metals or metal-fastened wood where you might encounter nails or fasteners. The bi-metal teeth stay sharper longer, reducing downtime and helping you maintain momentum on projects that demand steady, controlled cuts.
How to get the best results
- Match blade speed to material β slower, controlled passes for plastics and metals; steadier strokes for hardwood and trim work.
- Pace your cuts and let the blade do the work; avoid forcing the tool, which can cause overheating or tooth wear.
- Keep the work surface steady and use a light guiding hand to maintain straight, clean cuts and minimize tear-out.
- Inspect the blade periodically for wear and replace when teeth show significant dulling or chipping.
Ideal for
- DIY enthusiasts and professionals who need a reliable, all-purpose blade for a variety of materials.
- Projects requiring precise, tight cuts in cabinetry, trim work, or edge work where space is limited.
- Jobs where you want a single, durable blade that can handle wood, plastic, and light metal without swapping blades constantly.
