Everything you should know before buying jigsaw and coping saw blades: Selecting the right blade for your saw can be the difference between a clean, professional finish and a ruined piece of material. While both tools are masters of curves, they operate on different scales of precision and power. At
AW Graham Lumber, your local renovation supplies expert, we want to ensure you have the technical knowledge to make the right choice.
What is the difference between a jigsaw and a coping saw? The primary difference lies in power and control. A jigsaw is a versatile electric power tool designed for rapid, aggressive curved cuts in wood, metal, or plastic up to 2-in or 3-in thick. A coping saw is a handheld manual saw used for extremely delicate work. It is the primary tool used by carpenters to "cope" molding joints - a technique where one piece of trim is cut to the profile of another for a seamless 90-degree corner.
What is a jigsaw blade used for? A jig saw is for making irregular shapes, circles, and stencil-style cuts. When buying, you must choose between T-shank and U-shank blades. Most modern professional jigsaws use T-shank blades because they provide a secure, tool-less fit and better lateral stability during 1-in thick radius cuts. These blades are usually made of high-carbon steel (HCS) for wood or high-speed steel (HSS) for metal.
What is the coping saw used for? The coping saw is used for intricate external shapes and interior cutouts where a power tool might be too aggressive. A coping blade is a thin, flexible wire-like blade, usually about 6.5-in long, with pins at each end that lock into a steel frame. This design allows the blade to be rotated 360 degrees within the frame, enabling you to cut in any direction without moving the saw handle. It is a staple in any home improvement store for fine finishing work.
Types of jigsaw and coping saw blades - Choosing the right tooth count (TPI) is critical for your project success:
- 6 to 10 tpi (wood): Large teeth for fast, rough cutting in thick lumber.
- 14 to 24 tpi (clean cut): Medium teeth for a smoother finish on hardwoods and laminates.
- 24 to 32 tpi (metal/plastic): Fine teeth for cutting through non-ferrous metals and thin plastics without snagging.
- Spiral blades: Specialized coping blades with teeth on all sides, allowing you to cut in any direction (front, back, or side) without rotating the frame.
