Bosch 10-Piece T-Shank Jig Saw Blade Set (Extra-Clean Wood Cutting)

Why this set earned a spot in my jigsaw kit

I reach for a jigsaw more than most folks expect—installing trim, scribing shelves, trimming a door, or nibbling out a notch on site. The blade you choose makes or breaks the cut, and that’s where Bosch’s 10-piece wood jigsaw blade set has been a quietly reliable upgrade in my kit. It’s a straightforward assortment geared toward wood and wood products, plus some plastics, with a mix of fast-cut, extra-clean, and curve-friendly profiles. If your work leans heavily toward carpentry and finish work, this set covers the bases without forcing you to overthink blade choice.

What you actually get

Bosch splits the pack between a few familiar workhorses:

• T144DP: a more aggressive, fast-cutting profile that chews through 2x material and thicker stock surprisingly quickly.
• T101B: a “clean-for-wood” blade that’s become my default for plywood and softwood when I want a tidy edge without crawling through the cut.
• T101BR: the reverse-tooth variant with teeth facing downward, designed to keep the show face of veneer or laminate splinter-free.
• T101AO: a narrow, fine-tooth blade that turns tight radii cleanly—great for templates, cutouts, and scribing.
• T308B: Bosch’s extra-clean option with a taller, stiffer body and dual rows of teeth; it’s slow but leaves a near sanded edge on plywood and melamine.
• T119BO: a basic fine-tooth blade that handles thin stock and plastics with control.

The mix makes sense. You get duplicates of the higher-use profiles (T144DP, T101B, T101BR, T101AO), plus singletons of the specialty pieces (T308B and T119BO). For day-to-day carpentry in wood and sheet goods, I rarely feel under-equipped.

Fit and compatibility

The T-shank design is the current standard, and these lock firmly in every modern jigsaw I tried (Bosch, Makita, and DeWalt). Blade changes are quick, and I’ve had zero slippage under load. If you’re running an older U-shank saw, this set isn’t for you, but for 90%+ of modern jigsaws, it’s plug-and-play.

Cut quality across common tasks

• Trimming a door: The T101B produced a clean edge on a hollow-core door with only a light pass of 180-grit needed. With painter’s tape on the cut line, tear-out was minimal even across the veneer.
• Ripping 2x stock: For speed, the T144DP is the right choice. It’s not a finish blade, but with the jigsaw’s orbital action bumped up, it moved through kiln-dried 2x4 and 2x6 quickly without wandering. Expect a bit of fuzz on the exit side—nothing unusual for a fast tooth profile.
• Plywood and melamine: The T308B is the standout. It cuts noticeably slower but leaves an edge that looks like it came off a fine-tooth track saw blade. On melamine shelving, I treated the feed rate with patience and got virtually no chipping on either face.
• Veneers and laminates: The reverse-tooth T101BR is a reliable trick for keeping the face side pristine. Because it cuts on the downstroke, chip ejection can clog more easily; I found a slower feed and good dust extraction keeps it clearing. It’s my pick when the finished face has to be up.

Curves, templates, and control

The T101AO earns its keep when curves tighten up. It’s narrow and fine-toothed, which lets you follow radius lines without burning or chattering. I used it to cut a tight inside corner on a cabinet filler strip and appreciated the predictable tracking with minimal deflection. Like most narrow blades, it can flex if you force the cut—let the blade do the work and use a shallower orbital setting to preserve accuracy.

Plastics: a useful bonus, with caveats

Although this set is “wood first,” a couple of profiles work well in plastics. For thin acrylic and PVC, the T119BO and T101AO both performed cleanly at lower jigsaw speeds with the orbital action off. The key is managing heat. Keep the feed rate steady and pause to clear chips if they start to melt back onto the cut. I wouldn’t buy this set for plastics alone, but it’s certainly capable when the need arises.

Tear-out control and finish quality

These blades are ground cleanly, and that shows up on the cut. On plywood cabinet carcasses, the T101B and T308B both gave me edges that required minimal sanding. When I needed the top face to be perfect—think shelf cutouts or visible scribe lines—I either flipped to the T101BR or used a sacrificial backer. If your saw accepts a zero-clearance shoe insert, pairing it with the T308B produces remarkably crisp results.

Speed versus finish: pick your lane

This set makes it easy to choose between productivity and polish:

• Speed: T144DP with orbital action on. Great for framing, demolition, and rough sizing.
• Balanced: T101B with moderate orbital. Good all-arounder for clean cuts in softwood and plywood.
• Finish: T308B or T101BR, orbital off, slower feed. Ideal for exposed edges and veneered sheet goods.

That spread covers almost every jigsaw situation I encounter on jobsites and in the shop.

Durability and deflection

Tooth life has been solid. The T101B and T144DP held their edge through multiple cabinet installs and a handful of 2x cuts before noticeably dulling. The taller T308B resists deflection better than most jigsaw blades, which matters in thick plywood where blade wander is the enemy. As always, forcing the cut or maxing orbital on a fine blade will shorten life. Cutting curves in thick hardwood is where any jigsaw blade can struggle; if you need dead-straight vertical edges in 1-1/2-inch stock, consider a bandsaw or slow down and let the blade clear.

Case and organization

The included case is more than an afterthought. It’s a sturdy plastic clamshell that actually protects teeth from banging together, and it fits neatly into a tool bag or a systainer drawer. Labels are clear enough to grab the right profile quickly, and duplicates are easy to see at a glance. I’ve seen slimmer cases, but I’ll take the extra protection over saving a half inch in thickness.

What I’d change

• A metal-cutting option would broaden the utility for mixed-material remodel work. This set is unapologetically wood-first, so plan to carry a separate metal pack.
• I’d love a second T308B in place of one of the duplicates; it’s the blade I’m most careful not to lose because of its finish quality.
• Reverse-tooth blades excel on thin sheet goods; in thicker stock, chip evacuation slows down. Not a flaw, just a reality to plan for with feed rate and dust collection.

Value and who it’s for

For anyone doing carpentry, cabinet installs, flooring, or general woodworking with a modern jigsaw, this 10-piece set hits a sweet spot. You’re buying proven profiles that cover rough, clean, and curve cutting without paying for niche blades you won’t use. If your workflow includes a lot of metal or specialized composites, you’ll want to supplement this with dedicated packs. But as a core wood kit, the assortment and performance justify the space in the bag.

Tips to get the most from it

• Match orbital action to the task: high for fast rough cuts, low or off for clean edges.
• Support the work. Backer boards or zero-clearance bases tame tear-out dramatically.
• For plastics, slow the stroke rate and give the blade time to clear chips.
• Let the blade do the work. Forcing the cut is the fastest way to wander and dull teeth.

Recommendation

I recommend this Bosch 10-piece wood jigsaw blade set for anyone working primarily in wood and sheet goods who wants a simple, effective assortment that consistently produces clean results. The combination of fast, clean, and curve-capable profiles lets you adapt to the task without trial-and-error blade swaps, and the fit and finish are what I expect from Bosch. It’s not a one-stop solution for every material—there’s no metal blade here—and the extra-clean profiles reward patience more than speed. But if you value tidy edges, predictable tracking, and a case that keeps your blades ready to work, this set is a smart, dependable choice.
