Bimetal hacksaw blades can be used for all types of metals and is break-resistant and are characterized by their flexibility. The body is made of spring
steel and the teeth are made of High-speed Steel (HSS).
Cutting applications:
- Stainless steel/Inox
- Steel
- Non-ferrous metals
How to use a hacksaw:
- Clamp the workpiece in a vice.
- Select the correct TPI blade for the material thickness.
- Align the blade in the hacksaw with the teeth facing forward.
- The cutting action is normally in the push direction at 60 strokes per
minute, using the entire length of the blade. - Close to the end of the cut, decrease the rate of cut.
Generally speaking… The blade doesn’t cut faster by leaning heavily on the
hacksaw or cutting at a faster rate.
