Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of the Silky Bigboy 2000 pruning saw who need to replace their blade. The key benefit is restoring the saw's cutting power with a genuine, durable Silky blade. A caveat is that this blade is specifically designed for the Bigboy 2000 model and may not be compatible with other saws. The Silky Replacement Blade for the Bigboy 2000 features a 360mm length, a tooth configuration of 5.5 teeth per inch (6.5 teeth per 30mm), and a hard chrome-plated, impulse-hardened, non-set tooth design for efficient and long-lasting cutting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this blade compatible with other Silky saws?

No, this 360mm replacement blade is specifically designed for the Silky Bigboy 2000 pruning saw model only.

How do I clean the blade after use?

Wipe the blade with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. Ensure it is dried completely before storing. For stubborn residue, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly.

Do I need to sharpen this blade?

This blade features impulse-hardened teeth, which are designed to maintain their sharpness for a long time and typically do not require sharpening. Resharpening can damage the hardened teeth.

What is the tooth count per inch?

The blade has 5.5 teeth per inch, which is equivalent to 6.5 teeth per 30mm.

What does 'taper-ground' mean for the blade?

Taper-ground means the blade gradually becomes thinner from the base to the tip. This reduces drag and prevents the blade from binding in the cut, making sawing easier.

Can this blade cut very hard wood?

While durable and sharp, this blade is optimized for general pruning tasks. For extremely hard or dense wood, professional-grade tools might be more suitable, but this blade will perform effectively on most common pruning wood types.

What is the benefit of a hard chrome-plated blade?

Hard chrome plating provides increased durability, resistance to rust and corrosion, and a smoother surface that reduces friction during cutting, leading to longer blade life and easier sawing.

Troubleshooting

Blade does not lock securely into the saw handle.

Ensure the blade is fully seated and the locking mechanism of the Bigboy 2000 handle is engaged correctly. Check for any debris obstructing the connection points.

Cutting is slow or difficult.

Confirm the blade is the correct type for the Bigboy 2000 and that it is securely attached. Ensure the wood being cut is not excessively hard or large for the blade's capacity.

Blade shows signs of rust.

Wipe the blade immediately with a dry cloth. For minor surface rust, a light application of oil may help. Ensure the blade is stored in a dry place after use and properly cleaned.

  • Durable construction with hard chrome plating and impulse-hardened teeth for longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This blade is exclusively designed as a replacement for the Silky Bigboy 2000 pruning saw. Ensure your saw model is the Bigboy 2000 before purchasing.

Setup: To install the blade, carefully detach the old blade from your Silky Bigboy 2000 saw handle according to the saw's original instructions, paying attention to the locking mechanism. Align the new 360mm blade with the handle's mounting points and secure it firmly using the saw's existing hardware. Ensure the blade is locked in place and does not wobble before use.

Care: After each use, clean the blade to remove sap and debris. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough drying. Store the blade in a dry environment, preferably in its scabbard, to prevent rust and protect the teeth. Avoid sharpening this blade, as it features impulse-hardened teeth designed for long-term sharpness without resharpening.
