Product Overview
The Recip Bim 228mm F7 SL 5P is a high‑performance reciprocating sabre blade engineered for cutting plaster, gypsum board, and chipboard. Designed with a 228 mm (9 in.) length, it offers an optimal balance between reach and maneuverability in tight workspaces.
Key Features
- Blade Material: Dual‑metal construction combining a hardened steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy body for durability and reduced vibration.
- TPI (Teeth Per Inch): 7 TPI, providing a smooth cut through dense gypsum while minimizing chatter.
- Blade Width: 1.1 mm, ideal for precision work on thin panels.
- Edge Profile: Straight edge (SL) designed to maintain alignment during reciprocating motion.
- Pack Size: Five blades per pack (5P), ensuring a ready supply for extended projects.
Applications
This blade excels in the following tasks:
- Plaster Cutting: Smoothly slices through plaster layers, leaving clean edges suitable for finishing work.
- Gypsum Board Removal: Efficiently removes sections of drywall or plasterboard with minimal effort.
- Chipboard Trimming: Cuts through chipboard panels without compromising structural integrity.
- Construction Demolition: Ideal for quick removal of interior walls and partitions during renovation.
Performance Characteristics
The blade’s 7 TPI design delivers a balance between cutting speed and surface finish. The dual‑metal construction ensures that the edge remains sharp longer, even under high‑frequency reciprocating action. Users report reduced blade wear compared to single‑metal alternatives.
Installation & Compatibility
The Recip Bim 228mm F7 SL 5P is compatible with most standard reciprocating saws that accept a 9 in. blade. The blade’s mounting system uses the conventional 10‑slot drive, allowing for quick swaps during job sites.
Maintenance Tips
- Regular Inspection: Check for burrs or edge dullness after each use; replace if performance degrades.
- Cleaning: Remove dust and debris with a soft brush to prevent buildup that can affect cutting accuracy.
- Storage: Keep blades in a dry environment, preferably in their original packaging or a dedicated blade case.
User Experience
Professionals appreciate the blade’s consistent performance across various panel types. The straight edge (SL) design reduces the need for manual realignment, saving time on large projects. Many users note that the 7 TPI setting provides a fine finish without excessive vibration.
