The first time I put these blades in my BOSCH jig saw, I thought how wonderful it was that BOSCH had created a blade that cut quickly, cleanly and slightly filed simulateously. Well, they do but they really only " file " the cut the first few cuts depending on the hardness of metal. I was cutting 1/8" mild ferrous steel and was amazed initially, then just pleased. My opinion is that if you have to make a few* good clean cuts the first time, and can't file/grind or just dont have the time or desire to do so, this is great choice. However, I feel for less money the standard BOSCH metal cutting blades cut just as well, and last a little longer.So these would be a five, if the abrasive edge coating held up a bit longer.

I used one of these blades in my 1587AVSP while I was modifying the dash of my '83 Toyota Pickup to accept a new stereo. It cut nice and clean - no filing was necessary. It was also very easy to control while making the cuts. I had to "run the edge" of one side to make the hole about a blade width wider - no problem. I even had to saw through a thicker frame member behind the dash, basically freehand, nowhere to rest the baseplate of the saw. I just hit the piece with the blade at full speed and went right through it, just where I marked it.

These are highly recommended, especially if you run them in the Bosch saw!

Can not believe the work this blade does. Had the first one for over a year until it finally fizzled out while cutting angle iron. It was used on metal siding, steel, and angle iron many times before the teeth worn down. It still wanted to work, but was not so fast. I have not thrown the first one away. I think I should frame it. It was so great to find my Bosch saw and blades and know for sure they will do the job. Thank you so much for carrying these quality products.
