Bosch S 123 XF Progressor for Metal hojas de sierra de sable

The Bosch S 123 XF Progressor for Metal sabre saw blade is a bi-metal (BIM) blade designed for cutting a range of steel materials. Its progressively increasing tooth pitch (1.8–3.2 mm) and special tooth geometry allow fast, controlled cutting in thin and thick metal, including regular-strength steel pipes and profiles. The blade length is 150 mm and it supports a cutting capacity up to 100 mm. It is made for sabre saws with a 1/2 inch universal shank system.

Advantages

The progressive tooth pitch reduces cutting resistance across different material thicknesses and improves cutting speed. Bi-metal construction increases durability and resistance to wear compared with high-speed-steel-only teeth. The blade’s tooth design is optimized for clean, consistent cutting in steel with wall thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm. Standard 150 mm length provides up to 100 mm cutting depth and compatibility with common 1/2 inch universal shank sabre saws.

How to use

Install the S 123 XF Progressor blade into a compatible sabre saw with a 1/2 inch universal shank, following the tool manufacturer’s blade-change procedure and ensuring the blade is securely locked. Position the workpiece firmly and, if necessary, clamp it to prevent movement. Start the saw at low speed to establish the cut, then increase speed as required for efficient cutting. Use steady, moderate feed pressure—let the blade do the cutting. After finishing, allow the blade to cool before changing or storing it.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection) when cutting metal. For best results, secure the workpiece, use appropriate saw speed for the material thickness, and avoid excessive force to prolong blade life. Replace the blade when cutting becomes slow or produces irregular kerf or excessive burrs.
