INTRODUCTION A hacksaw is a power tool made up of a C-shaped frame and a disposable blade. It is one of the most important hand tools you can have in your workshop due to its ability to cut several types of metal. Hacksaws mainly consist of two elements: a frame with a handle and a blade. Before buying a hacksaw, it is vital to know about the job to be done by it. Knowing about the different types of hacksaws available will help you avoid any trial and error. Instead, you can get to the market and buy the perfect hacksaw for your job.

Different types of Hacksaw frames and how to use them: There are two types of hacksaw frames available in the market.

One has a fixed length while the second can take blades of different lengths. If you have a larger piece of metal or pipe to cut then frames become essential. The hacksaw blade fits into posts on the frame. People can set the posts in different positions according to the requirement by moving them left and right or up and down.

Different types of Hacksaw frames and how to use them:

01

Regular Hacksaw Blade It is the default blade that comes with the majority of hacksaws, therefore, it is the most popular among customers. However, these blades are built for cutting low-strength metals, including pure aluminum or tin. The teeth alternate between left and right and touch each other for a regular hacksaw.

Most people face difficulties using this type of hacksaw blade in the first couple of strokes but once the metal has been fully scored by the teeth your job will go quickly. These blades provide high speed and precision.

Raker Hacksaw Blade These blades come with distinct characteristics that make them easy to identify by the teeth. Their teeth appear in the group of three.

They have a strange structure, but it’s very effective for thick metal pieces like the iron pipe. It delivers excellent results when used for cutting hard metals. Raker Hacksaw Blade cannot do a job quickly like regular blades.

They usually require more effort to get your pipes and metals cut.

Raker is not the quickest but the most effective blade.

Wavy Hacksaw Blade These blades are designed for cutting thin, but strong types of metals. Their teeth come with a wavy design running from left to right just like its name.

It delivers excellent results when used for cutting thin metal as compared to hard metals.
