Vaunt SDS+
Vaunt jigsaw blades are built for clean, controlled cuts in wood, metal and laminates, with T-shank fitting that suits the jigsaws most trades already run.
If your cuts are wandering, tearing the face, or chewing through blades halfway through the day, start with the right blade before blaming the saw. Vaunt jigsaw blades cover fast wood cuts, cleaner down cut worktops, thin metal and mixed site jobs, so you can match the tooth pattern to the material and get on with it. If you need more cutting kit across the range, see Vaunt, Vaunt Saw Blades, Vaunt Circular Saw Blades, Vaunt Reciprocating Saw Blades and Vaunt Diamond Blades for the rest of the cutting jobs on site.
What Are Vaunt Jigsaw Blades Used For?
- Cutting kitchen worktops, sheet timber and carcassing is where vaunt wood jigsaw blades earn their keep, especially when you need quick curved cuts, sink cut-outs or trim work a circular saw cannot reach.
- Fitting laminate, veneered boards and finished panels is easier with vaunt down cut jigsaw blades because they help reduce breakout on the top face where the finished edge actually matters.
- Shaping thin steel, aluminium and non-ferrous sections on snagging, fabrication and maintenance jobs is exactly what vaunt metal jigsaw blades are for, giving you more control than trying to force the wrong tooth pattern through it.
- Keeping a vaunt jigsaw blade set in the van makes sense for mixed refurbs, because one pack covers the usual timber, board and metal cuts without stopping the job while someone nips out for the blade you should have had already.
Choosing the Right Vaunt Jigsaw Blades
Sorting the right blade is simple: match the tooth pattern to the material and the finish you need, not just whatever blade is already clipped in the saw.
1. Wood Cutting or Metal Cutting
If you are cutting timber, sheet goods or worktops, use vaunt wood jigsaw blades with a pattern suited to faster cutting or cleaner finish work. If you are on thin steel, aluminium or other metals, switch to vaunt metal jigsaw blades straight away or you will just burn the blade out and slow the job down.
2. Clean Finish or Fast Progress
If the cut edge is hidden, a faster wood blade is usually fine and gets you through sheet material quicker. If the face is visible, especially on laminate or finished board, use vaunt down cut jigsaw blades or a finer pattern so you are not left cleaning up chipped edges after.
3. Single Type or Mixed Set
If you do the same cut all week, buy the blade type you actually wear out most. If your work jumps between timber, laminate and metal, a vaunt mixed jigsaw blade set is the sensible shout because it covers the usual site jobs without filling the case with odd singles.
4. Check the Shank Fit
Most modern trade jigsaws take T-shank blades, and vaunt t-shank blades are the right call for that setup. Do not assume every saw takes the same fitting, because the wrong shank is useless however good the blade itself is.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Chippies use vaunt jigsaw blades for worktop cut-outs, scribing panels, trimming doors and shaping sheet material where a straight saw cut will not do the job.
- Kitchen fitters swear by down cut and fine wood blades when they need a cleaner top face on laminate and finished boards that are staying on show.
- Maintenance teams and shopfitters keep a vaunt jigsaw blade set handy for mixed jobs, because they are just as likely to be cutting ply backing one minute and thin metal trunking or brackets the next.
- General builders and snagging crews reach for vaunt t-shank blades because they fit the common jigsaws already in the van and let them switch quickly between rough cuts and neater finish work.
Jigsaw Blade Extras That Save Time on Site
A decent blade matters most, but the right extras stop rough starts, chipped finishes and wasted time cleaning up bad cuts.
1. Mixed Blade Sets
A mixed set saves the usual headache of starting on timber then hitting metal fixings or needing a cleaner blade for the finished panel. Keep one in the case and you are not stuck bodging the job with the wrong tooth pattern.
2. Splinter Guards
If your jigsaw accepts one, a splinter guard is worth having for laminate, veneered board and finished sheet. It helps keep the top face tidier, which means less patching up when the client is looking straight at the cut edge.
3. Guide Rails and Edge Guides
For longer straight cuts in sheet material, an edge guide or rail keeps the blade tracking properly instead of wandering off line. That is a lot better than trying to force a jigsaw through a rip cut freehand and wondering why it comes out wonky.

Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Using a wood blade on metal is the usual one. It slows the cut, overheats the blade and leaves you forcing the saw, so swap to a proper metal cutting blade before you start.
- Buying only for speed and ignoring finish catches plenty of lads out on kitchen and fit-out work. A fast blade is fine for hidden cuts, but on laminate and finished board you want a finer or down cut option.
- Not checking the shank type wastes time and money. Vaunt jigsaw blades are T-shank, so make sure your saw takes them before ordering.
- Trying to push a blunt blade through one more cut usually ends with wandering lines, burn marks and a rough edge. Once the blade starts slowing down or tearing the material, bin it and fit a fresh one.
- Starting a mixed job with only one blade type in the box is poor planning. A vaunt jigsaw blade set is the easier fix if your day can jump from ply to metal to finished panels.
Wood Blades vs Metal Blades vs Down Cut Blades
Vaunt Wood Jigsaw Blades
These are the go-to for timber, ply, MDF and general sheet cutting. They are quicker through wood than metal blades, but if you use them on steel or aluminium they wear fast and make a mess of the cut.
Vaunt Metal Jigsaw Blades
These use a finer tooth pattern for thin steel, aluminium and similar materials. They cut slower in timber, so they are not what you want for general first fix woodwork, but they give far better control and blade life on metal.
Vaunt Down Cut Jigsaw Blades
Down cut blades are the better choice when the top face needs to stay tidy, like laminate worktops and finished boards. They are not the fastest option, but they save you from chipped show faces and extra clean-up.
Maintenance and Care
Clear Off Resin and Swarf
After cutting timber or metal, wipe the blade down before it goes back in the case. Resin build-up and metal swarf make the next cut run hotter and rougher than it should.
Store Blades by Type
Keep wood, metal and down cut blades separated so you are not rummaging through loose blades and grabbing the wrong one in a rush. The right storage saves damaged teeth as well as wasted time.
Replace at the First Sign of Drift
If the saw starts pulling off line, slowing badly or leaving a furry edge, the blade is done. Carrying on just strains the saw and leaves you cleaning up a poor cut afterwards.
Keep Them Dry
Do not leave loose blades sitting in a damp toolbox or van floor tray. Even light rust affects the cut and makes blade changes unpleasant when the shank starts to mark up.

Vaunt Jigsaw Blades FAQs
What jigsaw blades does Vaunt make?
Vaunt makes jigsaw blades for the jobs most trades actually face, including wood cutting, metal cutting, down cut blades for cleaner top-face finishes, and mixed sets for general site use. That means you can cover rough timber cuts, laminate worktops and thinner metals without mixing random packs from different ranges.
Are Vaunt jigsaw blades T-shank or U-shank?
Vaunt jigsaw blades are T-shank blades. That suits the majority of modern trade jigsaws, but it is still worth checking your saw before ordering if you are running an older machine or something less common.
What materials can Vaunt jigsaw blades cut?
They cover the usual site materials including softwood, plywood, MDF, laminate faced boards, thin steel and non-ferrous metals, depending on the blade type. The main thing is matching the blade to the material, because even a good blade will cut poorly if you use the wrong tooth pattern.
Are Vaunt jigsaw blade sets good value?
Yes, especially if your work jumps between materials. A vaunt jigsaw blade set gives you the common blade types in one pack, which is better value than buying separate packs and a lot better than losing time on site because the one blade you brought is wrong for the next cut.
Will these blades give a clean finish on laminate worktops?
Yes, if you choose the right one. For laminate and other finished boards, go for vaunt down cut jigsaw blades or a finer blade pattern, because they help keep chipping down on the face you actually see.
Do Vaunt jigsaw blades last on proper site work?
They hold up well if you use them for the material they are meant for. Be honest about it though: any blade will die early if you force it through the wrong stock, hit hidden fixings or keep using it once it has gone blunt.
