Saws & Saw Blades
Choose a saw frame to match your material. The frame length defines the blade size, typically 150 or 300 mm. A junior frame reaches tight spots. Blades come in flexible or hardened steel. Flexible blades bend without cracking. Hard blades stay sharp longer. Check the tooth pitch for the material. This prevents snapping and crooked cuts.

Choosing the Right Hacksaw and Saw Blades
Frame Length and Blade Size
The length of the hacksaw frame determines which saw blades you can use. Common sizes are 150 and 300 millimetres. A junior frame of 150 millimetres is useful for tight angles and small workpieces. A steel frame of 300 millimetres gives more space and power for larger jobs. Choose the frame that suits the work you do.
Flexible or Hard Saw Blades
Saw blades differ in flexibility and hardness. Flexible blades bend without breaking. That is helpful when cutting curves or working with vibration. Hard blades stay sharp longer but break more easily if you force them. For straight cuts in metal, choose a hard blade. For irregular shapes, a flexible blade is better.
Tooth Pitch and Material
Check the tooth pitch before you start. Fine teeth are for thin material and hard metals. Coarse teeth cut faster in soft material. The wrong tooth pitch causes breakage or an uneven cut. Measure the thickness of the workpiece and choose the blade that matches. That way you cut cleanly and safely.
