New Jig saw blades from Bosch

Bosch has come out with some news blades that should really make a lot of people happy.
First
up is the long awaited stainless steel blade. Anyone who has had to cut
stainless steel knows how hard it is to cut with a standard bi-metal
blade. You could only get a few cuts out of one blade before it was
useless, and that was even while using cutting oil. The new stainless
steel blade from Bosch has an 8% cobalt steel additive, which increases
heat and wear resistance. It is also recommended that you use cutting
oil on the surface to reduce heat build-up, and the tool should be in
the non-orbital mode running at less the 1,500 strokes per minute. They
are available in 18-TPI for 8 to 16 gauge steel and 36-TPI for thinner
steel, from 16 to 26 gauge.
Next up is the Bosch Extra Clean for Wood jigsaw blade. What makes
these blades different then your standard blade is the fact that they
cut on both the up, and down stroke. Most blades cut in only one
direction, leaving the opposite side of the material vulnerable to
chipping or splintering. The Bosch patented tooth design has a scalpel
tooth to produce clean cuts on the bottom, and a pointed tooth to cut
the top. The Extra Clean for Wood blade is ideally suited for fine
woodworkers, cabinet makers, or finish carpenters .
