What is the difference between hacksaw blades?

The number of teeth per inch differentiates one hacksaw blade from the next. These can vary from three relatively large teeth per inch through to 32. As a general rule, the larger the blade, the lower the number of teeth per inch.

What does TPI mean?

TPI is short for “Tooth Per Inch”. You choose the hacksaw blade with the correct TPI (teeth per inch) for the type of metal that you need to cut.

Tips for using a hacksaw

• Secure the blade with the teeth pointing forward.
• Make sure the blade is firmly tensioned.
• Cut using steady strokes, directed away from you. Use the entire length of the blade in each cutting stroke, pressing on the forward stroke, not on the backward stroke.
• Maintain your hacksaw blade by applying oil or lubricant to the blade to cool the blade and prevent overheating when cutting.
• Regularly inspect hacksaw blades for signs of damage including warping or blunting.
• If blades show signs of wear and tear, replace them. You are supposed to replace hacksaw blades as needed.
