Description
The IRWIN MRB Masonry Sabre Saw Blade is a specialized, high-performance reciprocating saw accessory designed to bridge the gap between manual masonry saws and heavy-duty demolition equipment. Engineered for speed and endurance, it transforms a standard reciprocating saw into a precision masonry cutting tool.
Features
The MRB series is optimized for abrasive materials that would quickly dull a standard bi-metal or wood-cutting blade.
- 2.5 TPI (Teeth Per Inch): A very coarse tooth pitch designed for rapid material removal and reduced clogging when cutting through dusty masonry.
- Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT): Features high-grade carbide teeth that maintain their sharpness significantly longer than steel when tackling abrasive brick and stone.
- Extra-Thick Blade Body: The 1.5mm to 2.0mm thickness (depending on length) reduces vibration and flexing, ensuring straighter, more accurate cuts in dense materials.
- Universal 1/2" Shank: Compatible with all major brands of reciprocating saws (sabre saws), including DEWALT, Bosch, and Makita.
- Available in Multiple Lengths: Common sizes include 235mm and 300mm, allowing for different depths of cut depending on the block size.
Applications
The MRB blade is the go-to choice for renovation and structural work where clean, fast cuts are required in non-metallic masonry:
- Clay Bricks & Limestone: Perfect for creating new openings for windows or doors in existing walls.
- Gas Concrete (Aerate/Breeze Blocks): Glides through lightweight blocks with minimal effort, ideal for fast-paced internal wall construction.
- Sand-Lime Bricks: Designed to handle the high abrasion levels of sand-based masonry materials.
- General Renovation: Excellent for "chasing" out sections of masonry for electrical or plumbing installations.
- Structural Alterations: Used by professionals for precise demolition where a large masonry saw might be too cumbersome or dusty.
