Starrett Flat-sided Bi-metal Oscillating Blade 18 TPI

The Starrett Flat-sided Bi-metal Oscillating Blade features an 18 TPI tooth configuration for cutting a wide range of materials. It combines a high-speed steel cutting edge with a flexible alloy steel body, and is designed for use with oscillating multi-tools.

Overview
