FAQs
What materials can these hacksaw blades cut?
These are general-purpose blades designed to cut a variety of common materials including metal (like pipes, bolts, and rods), plastic, and wood.
How many blades are included in this pack?
This pack contains 5 Magnusson Hacksaw Blades.
Are these blades suitable for cutting hard metals like hardened steel?
While durable for general use, these are not specialized blades for extremely hard or hardened metals. For such materials, consider blades specifically designed for hard steel.
How do I ensure the blade lasts longer?
Proper tensioning, using steady pressure, letting the blade do the work, and keeping the blade clean and dry after use will help extend its lifespan.
What is the recommended way to store these blades?
It is best to store them in their original packaging or a blade organizer to protect the sharp teeth from damage and prevent them from becoming dull prematurely.
Do these blades come with a hacksaw frame?
No, these are replacement blades only and do not include a hacksaw frame.
Troubleshooting
Blade breaks during use.
Ensure the blade is properly tensioned in the hacksaw frame. Do not apply excessive downward pressure, and allow the blade to cut at its own pace. Check if the blade is new; old or damaged blades are more prone to breaking.
Slow or inefficient cutting.
Verify the blade teeth are facing the correct direction (away from the handle). Ensure the blade is sufficiently tensioned. If the blade is dull, replace it with a new one from the pack.
Blade does not fit the hacksaw frame.
Confirm that your hacksaw frame is designed for standard 10-inch or 12-inch blades and that the blade length matches. Adjust the frame's tension mechanism to accommodate the blade ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Magnusson Hacksaw Blade, ensure you have a compatible hacksaw frame. Most standard hacksaw frames are designed to accommodate 10-inch or 12-inch blades; verify your frame's specifications. Insert the blade into the frame, ensuring the teeth are facing away from the handle. Tighten the blade tension screw firmly until the blade is taut. To care for your blades, keep them clean and dry after use to prevent rust. Store them in a safe place, preferably in their original packaging or a blade organizer, to protect the teeth from damage. Avoid forcing the blade through material; let the blade do the work by applying steady pressure. For best results, use the correct blade for the material being cut, though these are designed for general use.
