Festool sawblades are designed for optimal performance in 

a variety of applications. Choosing the correct sawblade is 

important for obtaining the best cuts and optimal blade life. 

There are several factors that determine which blades are 

best suited for the operation.
Some of the important parameters for choosing the best 

blade are length, tooth shape, tooth spacing, tooth set, and 

type of metal used for the blade body and teeth.

The shank of Festool sawblades are color coded according to 

their general usage intention. These colors are listed below. 

The specialty blades are an exception in that each blade 

will have its own special purpose and material type. These 

include carbide tipped blades, ceramic cutting blades, and 

serrated foam blades.

  NOTICE: Always use a saw blade that is long enough 

to fully cut through the workpiece. Never attempt to 

make a partial-depth cut with a jigsaw. Attempting to 

make a cut with a saw blade that is too short to fully 

cut the workpiece will likely damage the blade and 

possibly the saw itself.

It is important to use a saw blade that is the correct length 

for the material being cut. Because part of the sawblade 

never extends below the sole plate of the jigsaw, the blade 

length must be greater than the thickness of the workpiece 

to be cut.
The length of a jigsaw blade is specified by the length of the 

body that contains teeth, but does not include the upper 

shank that fits inside the blade holder. The example below 

shows a 75 mm blade. The usable length of this blade is 

approximately 54 mm (2⅛"), which is 75 mm minus the 19 

mm that does not extend below the saw’s sole plate, minus 

the distance of the lowest tooth from the tip of the blade.

Saw blades will have different types of teeth depending 

on the purpose of the blade and the type of material it is 

expected to cut. 

 

►

Angle ground teeth are the most common type of teeth 

for wood cutting applications. These teeth have sharpened 

sides as well as sharp points to provide effective side cut-

ting of the teeth, and not just the tips.

 

►

Straight ground teeth are more typical for plastic and 

metal cutting blades, but some wood cutting blades may 

also have straight ground teeth. The tips of the teeth are 

the primary cutting edges for the blade.

 

►

Carbide tipped blades provide for longer blade life. 

Carbide is a harder metal that does not dull as quickly as 

other metals used for the blade bodies.

 

►

Tungsten carbide abrasive blades are used for cutting very 

hard materials, such as ceramics. These types of blades 

cut in an abrasive or filing type of action.

 

►

Serrated blades are used for cutting very soft materials, 

such as building foam. The blade functions much like a 

knife in its cutting action.

The term “tooth Set” refers to whether the teeth of the 

blade extend out past the body of the blade. This permits 

the kerf of the blade’s cut to be wider than the body of the 

blade, which reduces the likelihood of the blade binding in 

the cut or overheating due to friction. 

 

►

Conical ground blades (also called tapered or trapezoidal 

blades) do not have any set in their teeth, but the body of 

the blade is ground to be narrower that the width of the 

teeth. These blades provide very smooth cuts because the 

teeth are not set side-to-side from the body of the blade, 

but the body of the blade still has some clearance within 

the saw kerf.

 

►

Side Set teeth are when each individual tooth is alter-

nately bent to the left or right of the blade body. This 

results in the kerf width to be wider than the blade body, 

and also makes these blades more aggressive in their cut-

ting action. However, the wider the tooth set, the rougher 

the cut surface will be.

 

►

Wavy set teeth are used almost exclusively for fine-tooth 

blades, such as metal cutting or fine scroll blades. The 

teeth are so close together that it is not possible to put 

a set on each tooth separately, so the teeth are set in 

groups with a waving pattern down the length of the body.
