Product information

HSS hacksaw blade - 18 TPI The HSS blades are used for metal cutting and fit in a hacksaw. Unlike Bi-metal hacksaw blades, the HSS blades are fully hardened for extra rigidity. 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.
