May 17, 2013 – Greenlee, a Textron company, says its new high-quality reciprocating saw blades are designed to cut a variety of construction materials, thanks to its carbon-alloy blade frame and cobalt tool-steel teeth. The reciprocating blade line-up consists of standard-duty Bi-Metal blades, Specialty blades, Extreme blades, and Extreme Ti-Metal titanium-coated blades. The Specialty blades are purpose-built for cutting construction materials, such as stainless steel, cement board, masonry block, and cast-iron pipe. The Extreme blades feature a wider, thicker blade frame, suitable for structural steel applications, such as angle iron, I-beam, structural tubing and C-channel. The Extreme Ti-Metal blades boast titanium coating to help reduce friction and heat build-up, giving it the longest blade life in the entire Greenlee reciprocating blade lineup.
