FAQs
Can I use these blades on hardwood?
While they will cut wood, these are specifically engineered for metal and plastics. Wood may cause the teeth to clog rapidly.
Are these blades compatible with all 300mm hacksaw frames?
Yes, they are designed to fit any standard 300mm (12-inch) adjustable hacksaw frame.
Do I need to sharpen these blades?
No, these blades are meant to be replaced once the HSS teeth have dulled from use.
What does 18tpi mean?
18tpi stands for 18 teeth per inch, which determines the finish and speed of the cut.
Can these be used for cutting stainless steel?
They can cut stainless steel, but stainless is very hard; expect the blade to dull significantly faster than when cutting mild steel or aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Blade wandering or cutting crooked lines
Check the frame tension; the blade is likely too loose and needs tightening to remain rigid.
Teeth clogging with debris
Reduce your cutting speed and ensure you are clearing the metal chips from the cut path frequently.
Blade snaps prematurely
Ensure you are using a smooth, rhythmic motion and avoid applying excessive downward pressure during the stroke.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible construction reduces the risk of blade breakage.
- 18tpi tooth count is ideal for versatile general-purpose cutting.
- Bulk pack of 10 provides excellent value for frequent users.
- High-speed steel teeth maintain sharpness longer than carbon steel blades.
Cons
- Not intended for precision woodworking or fine cabinetry.
- Requires proper frame tensioning to prevent blade wandering.
- 18tpi may be too coarse for very thin sheet metal.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your hacksaw frame is set to 300mm. Insert the blade with the teeth pointing forward toward the front of the frame. Tighten the wingnut or tension mechanism until the blade produces a high-pitched ring when plucked; a loose blade will wander and dull quickly. After use, wipe the blade clean with a light machine oil to prevent surface rust, especially if you have been cutting damp or corrosive materials. Store the remaining blades in a dry area to maintain the integrity of the steel.
