Description
The right blade for metal and hard materials. The Proxxon HSS jigsaw blades are designed for cutting metals, aluminum, softer alloys, fiberglass, plexiglas, and insulating materials with the Proxxon STS 12/E and STS/E jig saws. The fine 1.06mm tooth pitch with set and ground teeth delivers clean, controlled cuts in materials where coarser blades would tear or leave rough edges.

HSS vs. Special Steel Blades — Which Do You Need?
- HSS blades (No. 28056) — this blade: For metals, aluminum, fiberglass, plexiglas, and insulating materials. HSS construction handles the hardness and heat of metal cutting.
- Special steel blades (No. 28057): For wood, corrugated board, and softer materials. Optimized tooth geometry for clean cuts in fibrous materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Proxxon jig saws are these compatible with?
These blades fit the Proxxon STS 12/E and the STS/E jig saws.
Why HSS instead of carbide for these materials?
HSS can be ground to a finer, sharper tooth profile than carbide — producing cleaner cuts in non-ferrous metals and plastics where a sharp edge matters more than raw hardness.
How many blades are included?
2 blades per pack.
