FAQ

FAQ — Hacksaw Blade

What is a Hacksaw Blade?

A Hacksaw Blade is a fine-toothed, replaceable blade used in a hacksaw frame for cutting metals, plastics, and other hard materials with precision.

What materials are Hacksaw Blades made from?

They are typically made from high-speed steel (HSS), carbon steel, or bi-metal construction for strength, flexibility, and long-lasting sharpness.

What sizes do Hacksaw Blades come in?

The most common size is 12 inches (300 mm) in length, although 10-inch (250 mm) blades are also available for smaller frames.

What does TPI mean on a Hacksaw Blade?

TPI stands for Teeth Per Inch and determines the fineness of the cut — higher TPI blades (e.g. 24–32) are used for thin materials, while lower TPI (e.g. 14–18) are used for thicker metals.

Can Hacksaw Blades cut through hardened steel?

Yes, bi-metal and HSS blades can cut through hardened steel, stainless steel, and other tough materials efficiently.

How do I install a Hacksaw Blade?

Insert the blade into the hacksaw frame with the teeth facing forward, then tighten the tension knob to keep it firmly in place.

How long does a Hacksaw Blade last?

Blade life depends on the material cut and usage. Using the correct TPI and applying steady pressure ensures longer blade life.
