Overview
The Festool 204270 Jigsaw Blades HS 75/1.2 for Metal Cutting, 5-Pack is a metal-cutting jigsaw blade set built for clean, controlled cuts in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals. This is a jigsaw blade designed for metal cutting with compatible Festool and T-shank jigsaws. Model Number 204270. If you use a jigsaw for sheet metal work, trim cuts, or small profile cuts in metal stock, this is the blade type you want instead of trying to force a general-purpose wood blade to do a job it was never made for.
What matters here is the combination of blade length, tooth pitch, and blade material. The 3 inch cutting blade length gives you enough working length for common metal-cutting tasks without getting overly flexible for this category, while the 21 teeth per inch pitch helps the blade stay smooth and controlled in thinner metal materials. In practical use, that means better edge quality, less chatter, and less tendency to snag when you start or finish a cut.
Festool lists this blade with a rippled basic form and a wear-resistant HCS bimetal construction. That matters because metal cutting is hard on blades. A bimetal blade is a smarter choice when you need a balance of flexibility and tooth durability, especially when cutting materials like aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals that can quickly wear down lesser blades. The result is a blade that is more suited to repeated metal-cutting work than a basic wood or rough-cut blade.
This blade is rated for workpiece thickness up to 13/16" (20 mm), which gives you a clear idea of where it belongs. It is a good fit for metal plate, trim pieces, profiles, and similar stock within that range. It is not trying to be an all-purpose demolition blade or a heavy fabrication solution. It is a purpose-built jigsaw blade for users who need accuracy and controlled cutting in metal with the right tooth count for the job.
Compatibility is another strong point. Festool specifies this blade for PS 300, PSB 300, PS 400, PSC 400, PSBC 400, PSB 400, PS 420, PSB 420, PSC 420, and PSBC 420 jigsaws. It is also a universal T-shank blade, which is the common interface many professional jigsaws use. For Festool users, that means a direct fit within the listed jigsaw lineup. For buyers comparing blades, the T-shank format is the detail that tells you installation and retention are built around the standard quick-change jigsaw system.
Because this is a 5-pack, it also makes sense for regular shop or jobsite use. Metal-cutting blades are consumables, and anyone who cuts metal often knows it pays to keep matching blades on hand instead of mixing in whatever is left in the case. Having five identical blades means more consistent results from one cut to the next and less downtime when a blade finally dulls.
Who should buy this? Metalworking pros, remodelers, mechanical trades, and serious DIY users who already own a compatible Festool jigsaw and need a blade specifically for metal. It is especially useful for users making straight cuts in non-ferrous metals or controlled cuts in thin steel and stainless material. If your jigsaw sees regular metal-cutting duty, this is the kind of dedicated blade that saves time, cuts cleaner, and feels more predictable in the work.

Pro Tip
For cleaner metal cuts with a 21 TPI blade, let the teeth do the work and keep feed pressure steady. If you push too hard, fine-pitch metal blades heat up faster and wear out sooner.
