How to choose a hacksaw
Choosing the right hacksaw BAHCO
Blank. The choice of a hacksaw depends on the size, density and texture of the material intended for sawing.
Sawing quality. When accurately sawing a material, for example for the manufacture of furniture, an accurate tool with a small tooth should be used.But when working with large blanks, a large tooth will give an excellent result.
Canvas length. Canvases with a large tooth are convenient to use when working with large blanks. For a large cut, it is necessary to use a hacksaw with a large tooth and a blade length of 550/650 mm (22”-26”) to achieve long powerful cuts.
Medium-sized saw blades with an average tooth and a blade length of 500/550 mm (18”-22”) for powerful sweeping cuts. For precise work with small-sized workpieces, the length of the web does not matter.
