Bahco 3853-34-1.1-3/4 hacksaw blade

Bahco 3853-34-1.1-3/4 hacksaw blade is a replacement blade designed for cutting structural steel, tubes and profiles. The blade features high speed steel (HSS) teeth with a special PF tooth shape and a width of 1.07 mm, intended to deliver long tool life and improved cutting performance. It is suitable for straight and mitre (angle) cutting applications where resistance to tooth stripping and reduced vibration are required.

Advantages

The combination of HSS tooth material and an improved high speed steel tooth edge gives this hacksaw blade increased hardness and toughness for extended service life. The PF tooth shape reduces out-of-square cutting, stripped teeth and vibration, which lowers the risk of broken blades. A double set provides stronger, more durable teeth that resist stripping, while the specially designed tooth geometry maximizes cutting performance on a range of steel workpieces.

Suitable for

• Cutting structural steel and metal profiles
• Cutting tubes and thin-walled sections
• Mitre and angle cuts where accurate, controlled cuts are needed
• Single-piece and bundle cutting of metal with reduced risk of pinching

Key specifications

• Blade width: 1.07 mm
• Tooth material: High speed steel (HSS)
• Tooth geometry: PF tooth shape, double set
• Designed for: Structural steel, tubes and profiles
• Optimal use: Mitre (angle) cutting and straight cuts

How to use

Install the Bahco 3853-34-1.1-3/4 hacksaw blade into a compatible hacksaw frame following the frame manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct blade orientation and tension. Use steady, controlled strokes with appropriate cutting fluid when cutting steel to reduce heat and friction. For mitre or angle cuts, position the workpiece securely in a vice or clamp to maintain alignment and minimize movement during cutting. Replace the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines or if teeth are damaged.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting structural steel or thin-walled tubes, use a compatible frame that allows proper tensioning and consider using cutting fluid to extend blade life. Select 5/8 TPI blades or wider set variants if cutting thin-walled sections, single pieces or bundles to reduce pinching and improve feed.
