The depth stop includes a U-shaped body mounted to the blade center body web with a sliding flange face positioned at a linear cut depth from the blade cutting edge and an angled nose face positioned at a nose cut depth from the blade nose tip so that a reciprocating saw blade can be used to cut items such as electrical conduit without harming items inside the conduit. The stop body defines a body slot aperture sized for accepting the blade center body web adjacent the sliding flange face and a set of opposing clamps positioned to clamp the blade center body web within the body slot aperture to control the nose cut depth and the linear cut depth.
