Backsaw Bahco 2700-22-XT7-HP 55 cm Black Orange

The Bahco 2700-22-XT7-HP 55 cm backsaw is a purpose-built hand saw for accurate wood cutting. With a 55 cm blade length and a lightweight construction of approximately 490 g, it is designed to deliver controlled, repeatable cuts in joinery and general woodworking tasks. The tool features the distinctive Bahco black and orange finish and a reinforced spine that maintains blade rigidity for straight cutting lines.

Advantages

The backsaw combines a long, stiff blade with a comfortable handle to provide stability and control during cutting. Its relatively low weight improves maneuverability and reduces user fatigue when performing repetitive cuts. The reinforced spine helps prevent blade flexing, supporting precise, square cuts for tenons, mitres and other fine woodworking joints. Durable materials and a finish resistant to workshop wear extend service life under normal use.

Suitable for

• Fine joinery and cabinetry
• Cutting tenons, dovetails and mitre joints
• Trimming and sizing timber and boards
• Workshop and on-site carpentry tasks requiring controlled hand cuts

Key specifications

• Blade length: 55 cm
• Product weight: approximately 490 g
• Tool type: backsaw for wood cutting
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for hand-held control
• Finish: black and orange color scheme
• Construction: reinforced spine for increased blade rigidity

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement. Position the backsaw so the blade sits on the cutting line, using the reinforced spine as a guide to maintain a straight cut. Start with a few short, controlled strokes to establish the kerf, then continue with full-length strokes using steady, even pressure. Keep the wrist and elbow aligned with the blade to maximize accuracy and reduce fatigue. For finer joints, work slowly and check progress frequently to avoid removing excess material.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves where necessary. Keep the blade clean and free of pitch or resin build-up to maintain cutting performance. Store the backsaw in a dry place and protect the blade edge from contact with hard surfaces. For best results in detailed joinery, pair the saw with a straightedge or marking gauge to ensure consistent layout and cutting accuracy.
