How to Minimize Blade Flexing and Ensure a Smooth Cut with Reciprocating Saws

Explanation:

To minimize blade flexing and ensure a smoother cut with a reciprocating saw, one would need to use a blade with a higher TPI (teeth per inch). A higher TPI provides more teeth for cutting, allowing for cleaner lines and less flexing of the blade. On the other hand, the speed of the saw also has an effect. A saw operating at a lower speed is less likely to cause the blade to flex and will produce a smoother result. Remember that a reciprocating saw operates through reciprocating motion, using the rotation of a motor to produce linear motion back and forth or up and down, so the steady control of the tool is equally important.
