Makita B-19 Wood Cutting Jigsaw Blades

The Makita B-19 is a down-cutting jigsaw blade designed for clean, chip-free cuts in wood, plastics, and wood-based materials. With a universal shank fitting, these blades are compatible with the majority of jigsaws on the market. The down-cutting tooth action is the defining feature of this blade — it directs cutting force downward to minimise chipping and splintering on the upper surface of the workpiece. This makes the B-19 particularly well suited to kitchen worktops, cabinet making, and joinery, where surface finish is critical and expensive materials cannot be wasted. With 12 teeth per inch and a 2.1mm tooth spacing, the blade delivers a controlled, smooth cut across a material thickness range of 3–50mm in both plywood and plastics. Ground and taper ground teeth, combined with a symmetrical head geometry and centring tip, ensure accurate, consistent performance even when cutting reinforced or laminated boards.
