HSS hacksaw blade - 24 TPI

The HSS blades are used for metal cutting and fit in a hacksaw. Unlike Bi-metal hacksaw blades, the HSS blades are fully hardened for extra rigidity.

How to use a hacksaw:

  1. Clamp the workpiece in a vice.
  2. Select the correct TPI blade for the material thickness.
  3. Align the blade in the hacksaw with the teeth facing forward.
  4. The cutting action is normally in the push direction at 60 strokes per minute, using the entire length of the blade.
  5. Close to the end of the cut, decrease the rate of cut.

Generally speaking... The blade doesn't cut faster by leaning heavily on the hacksaw or cutting at a faster rate.

Selecting the correct blade:
