Japanese Tooth (MTB‑JC) Blades

Japanese Tooth (MTB‑JC) Blades are high‑performance oscillating multi‑tool blades featuring a
razor‑sharp, triple‑ground Japanese tooth pattern for ultra‑fast, clean cutting in wood and
timber‑based materials. Ideal for carpenters, kitchen and bathroom fitters, flooring installers
and general trades, these blades excel where rapid, smooth wood cutting is required.

Japanese Tooth (MTB‑JC) Blades are designed specifically for fast, clean cutting in wood. The
triple‑ground Japanese‑style teeth slice quickly through timber fibres, giving a smooth, accurate
cut with minimal effort. This makes them ideal for tasks such as trimming doors and frames,
cutting flooring and decking boards, and notching or shortening studwork and battens.

The MTB‑JC multi‑tool fitting is designed to suit a wide range of oscillating tools from major
brands (always check your tool’s compatibility and adapter requirements). The plunge‑cut blade
shape enables precise starting and stopping of cuts, even away from edges, which is especially
useful for sockets, vents and access holes in timber and timber‑based boards.

These blades are optimised for wood, chipboard, plywood and similar materials. Because of their
aggressive tooth form, they should not be used on metal or masonry, and repeated contact with
nails or screws will quickly dull the teeth – use bi‑metal or TiN‑coated blades for mixed
material or metal work instead.

Typical Use Cases

• Trimming door linings, architraves and skirtings for new flooring.
• Cutting laminate and engineered flooring boards to length or around obstacles.
• Notching and shortening timber studs, noggins and battens.
• Cutting openings in plywood, chipboard, OSB and similar sheet materials.
• Shaping and adjusting timber components during kitchen, bathroom and furniture installation.

Usage & Application Tips

• Use only on wood & similar materials: Avoid nails, screws and metal; they will rapidly blunt the Japanese teeth.
• Let the teeth cut: Apply light to moderate pressure – forcing the blade can cause burning and reduce cut quality.
• Choose appropriate speed: Medium to high oscillation speeds typically give the best results in wood; adjust for control.
• Mark your cut line: Clearly mark where you need to cut for neat, accurate results on visible surfaces.
• Support the workpiece: Clamp or support trims and panels to minimise vibration and improve finish.

Japanese Tooth (MTB-JC) Blades Common Uses / How to Use

To get the best from Japanese Tooth (MTB‑JC) Blades:

1. Confirm your multi‑tool is compatible with MTB‑JC blades or fit the correct adapter.
2. Select an appropriate blade width for the job (narrow for detail, wider for long cuts).
3. Fit the blade securely according to your tool manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Mark the cut line clearly on the timber or board.
5. Set the tool to a medium/high speed and start it before engaging the material.
6. Guide the blade along the line with light, steady pressure, avoiding contact with nails or screws.
7. Allow the blade to cool between long cuts and replace it when performance drops.
