19 products · Saw Blades

These reciprocating saw blades (straight jigsaw blades) are designed for cutting masonry materials such as brick, hollow clay blocks and aerated concrete. They are used for openings, adjustments and maintenance work on site, where cutting with other machines is not practical.

Types available in the collection

  • Carbide-grit blades: the abrasive surface cuts hard and abrasive materials; available in lengths such as 152 and 228 mm.
  • Alligator carbide-tooth blades: long, for light masonry and blocks.

The collection includes DeWalt blades.

How to choose

Consider the material to be cut, the thickness of the workpiece and the blade length: it must exceed the thickness with a certain margin. Also check that the shank is compatible with your reciprocating saw.

Frequently asked questions: Reciprocating Saw Blades for Brick
What are reciprocating saw blades for brick used for?

These reciprocating saw blades cut masonry materials such as bricks, perforated clay bricks and aerated concrete. They are used for openings, adjustments and small maintenance work on site, when another tool is impractical. They are designed for masonry work, not for wood or metal.

What is the difference between the carbide-grit blade and the Alligator carbide-tooth blade?

The carbide-grit blade has an abrasive surface that cuts hard and abrasive materials such as brick and cement. The Alligator carbide-tooth blade is long and designed for light masonry and blocks. Choose according to the material: perforated clay brick or aerated concrete require a different blade from solid brick.

Which lengths are available and how do I choose the right one?

The range includes blades of 152 mm and 228 mm. A longer blade reaches greater thicknesses, but requires more stroke, and the saw must be compatible with that length. Check the length marked on the blade and compare it with the manual of your reciprocating saw before fitting it.

How do I use a masonry blade safely?

Cutting bricks and cement produces a lot of mineral dust. Wear glasses, gloves and a filter mask suited to dust. Clamp the workpiece firmly, rest the saw shoe and do not force the blade. If the blade overheats or vibrates abnormally, stop and let it cool: a forced cut can break it.

Who uses these blades and for which jobs?

They are used by bricklayers, painters, installers and anyone making small openings in partition walls or passing pipes and cables through. They are suited to renovation and maintenance where a wall chaser would be excessive. On site they allow precise openings even in tight spaces where a larger tool does not fit.

Which masonry blade brands and models are in the range?

The range includes DeWalt blades for Alligator saws, such as the DT2974-QZ and DT2420-QZ, the latter indicated for cement and brick. Makita blades are also available, in lengths of 305 mm and 455 mm. For each model, the manufacturer's data sheet is what matters, as it states the material the blade is intended for.

How do I tell a brick blade from a wood blade?

A brick blade is designed for hard and abrasive materials, while a wood blade is built to cut soft fibres. The simplest check is to read the marking on the blade and the packaging: if it states brick, cement or poroton, that is the right blade. Do not use a wood blade on brick, because it will wear out immediately.
