T503 3 pc. Hardwood/Laminate Flooring T-Shank Jig Saw Blade Set

These are great blades and my first go-to for any plywoods, coated melamine and other thin laminates or veneer plywoods. They most often leave a much cleaner cut in thin materials (1/4" and thinner) than the downcut/reverse tooth blades do because of the tooth design here. They're bimetal blades, not plain high carbon steel, so the high speed steel teeth start out sharper and tend to stay that way longer if you aren't totally abusing the saw. These have been my favorites for over 30 years now back when I bought the same cut under the Porter Cable label, and the current Diablo are also the same thing. They are fleam ground to provide kerf relief and the teeth have the same point/grind style that you see in good hand saws. Really works a treat to cut baltic/finnish birch plywoods with zero to minimal splintering top or bottom, and sails through cheap veneer appearance plywoods. Works on regular lumber and MDF of course but better to choose different blades there, imho. They also work great in many plastics and composites although heat buildup is an issue (kerf welding) and phenolics or glass composites will wear them out quickly (they're not very good for lexan/plexiglass...nice cut but the kerf welding can't be avoided with this blade design...great for poly and ABS, delrin, etc). The scroll blade is great and the wider "laminate" blade is better for straight cuts (it's also just slightly thicker for resistance to wander/flex, but not as thick as fast cut wood construction blades). I think the same factory in Switzerland must make these for everyone (Bosch, Diablo, old Lenox, Porter Cable, Festool, etc). They appear to be the same high quality as they always have been. If you want only the scroll blade in bimetal it looks like you'll have to find that under the Diablo label in a 5-pack. The wider laminate blades in this pack are nice to have and it's a cheap price for the pack.

They worked well for cutting a countertop had no chiping when I used it.

These T shanks were very helpful in helping me do my flooring. They are excellent for laminate flooring. They come with much more teeth per inch to get a really clean cut. For the price you can get plenty out of them. I did about 600 sq feet with my jigsaw and these blades. Given, the process could have gone faster with a saw but if you are a DIYer, it will save you money for sure and make it much easier to maneuver. You go through the blades somewhat quickly but they are thin and don't seem to be meant to last a lifetime. Also be sure to have a stable workbench with clamps to make sure your floor planks don't slide too much. Get yourself a few packs of these and you'll be good for more than a few projects.

I want to keep this easy and short. I used a jig saw to cut some of the curves and details in to my new laminate flooring. My standard, fine wood cutting blades wore dull quickly on the laminate and the started to chip the surface. These blades are like a hot knife through butter...but there is a catch...If you rush the saw/blade - you will chip the surface, no mater what blade you use! The lesson I learn - nearly half way through the project, was to make my mark on the back of the flooring board and cut at about half speed (the force moving the saw forward - not the speed of the blade moving up and down). I did find a cleaner cut when I did increase the vertical blade speed (adjustable speed jig saw). I love these blades - cut a lot of boards and they still aren't dull - worth the money.

Excellent blades

Brought these to cut out a kitchen sink in a new laminate countertop. Worked great. The cut was clean and smooth with no chips at all. Also used masking tape to help keep a clean cut. One blade was all we needed. Great value and product. Highly recommend!

Super high performing in bathroom remodel. Wouldn’t hesitate to order more in the future.

Cuts laminate and lvp very well. Dulls kinda fast with lvp, but gives clean cuts

Ideal item for use in cutting vinyl floor planks properly with nice clean cuts. Tough blades, excellent quality, the best we tried, makes the job easier.

They cut laminate flooring planks without any chipping.... lasted the whole project.

Great blades for vinyl plank flooring

It cuts laminate flooring like hot knife on butter.

Worked as it should
