Bahco 3940-150-5/8-SL-2P Bi-Metal Hacksaw Blade 150mm 5/8 TPI

The Bahco 3940-150-5/8-SL-2P is a professional-grade bi-metal hacksaw blade engineered for high-performance cutting in demanding environments. Measuring 150 mm in length, this blade features a robust Sandflex bi-metal construction that combines flexibility with exceptional durability. The inclusion of 8% cobalt in the HSS toothing ensures superior wear resistance and longevity, making it a reliable choice for both industrial workshops and professional metalworking projects.

Advantages

This blade stands out due to its slope-shaped design, which provides a narrow nose for improved access in confined spaces without sacrificing rigidity. The precision-ground teeth are specifically optimized to handle tough materials, including wood with embedded nails and thick metal sections. Its bi-metal composition makes the blade virtually unbreakable, offering high resistance to fracturing and bending during intensive use, which ultimately results in straighter and more accurate cuts.

Suitable for

• Cutting through wood containing embedded nails
• Processing thick metal materials
• Precision cutting in narrow or hard-to-reach areas
• General industrial and workshop metalworking tasks

When it may not be suitable

This blade is specifically optimized for heavy-duty and metal-cutting applications. It may not be the most efficient choice for fine, delicate woodworking or for cutting very thin sheet metal where a much higher TPI count would be required for a smooth finish.

Key specifications

• Blade length: 150 mm
• Tooth configuration: 5/8 TPI
• Material: Sandflex bi-metal with 8% Cobalt HSS toothing
• Blade shape: Slope shaped (SL)
• Quantity: 2 blades per pack

How to use

To use the blade, ensure it is securely installed in a compatible hacksaw frame, ensuring the teeth are pointing in the direction of the cutting stroke. Apply steady, even pressure during the forward stroke and release pressure on the return stroke to prolong the life of the teeth. For best results when cutting metal, maintain a consistent speed and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent vibration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hacksaw frame is compatible with 150 mm length blades.
• Ensure the 5/8 TPI configuration matches the thickness of the material you intend to cut.
• Consider the nature of your project to determine if a slope-shaped blade is necessary for your specific access requirements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting metal. If the blade begins to dull, replace it promptly to avoid excessive heat buildup and potential damage to the workpiece.
