Bahco 3940-228-6-SL-2P Hacksaw Blade 228x1.3mm 6TPI 2-Piece Set

The Bahco 3940-228-6-SL-2P hacksaw blade set consists of two high-performance bi-metal blades engineered for demanding cutting tasks. Measuring 228 mm in length and 1.3 mm in thickness, these blades feature a 6TPI tooth configuration, making them exceptionally effective for cutting through challenging materials. The blades utilize Sandflex technology, combining a flexible back with a high-speed steel toothing containing 8% cobalt for superior durability and wear resistance.

Advantages

These blades offer significant advantages due to their slope-shaped design, which provides a narrow nose for improved accessibility in confined spaces. The bi-metal construction ensures the blades are virtually unbreakable, offering high resistance to fracturing and bending even under heavy load. The precision-ground teeth ensure clean and straight cuts, while the cobalt-enriched steel maintains sharpness over extended periods of use, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Suitable for

• Cutting wood with embedded nails
• Cutting thick metal materials
• Demanding construction and demolition tasks
• Professional metalworking and DIY projects

When it may not be suitable

These blades are optimized for coarse cutting and thick materials, so they may not be suitable for fine, intricate woodworking or cutting very thin sheet metal where a higher TPI count is required for a smoother finish. They are also not intended for use on hardened steel or masonry.

Key specifications

• Length: 228 mm
• Thickness: 1.3 mm
• Tooth configuration: 6 TPI
• Material: Bi-metal with 8% Cobalt HSS toothing
• Blade shape: Slope shaped (SL)
• Quantity: 2 blades per set

How to use

To use the Bahco hacksaw blade, ensure it is securely installed in a compatible reciprocating saw or hacksaw frame, ensuring the teeth are oriented in the correct cutting direction. Before starting, verify that the material is firmly clamped to prevent vibration. Begin the cut with a steady, controlled motion, allowing the blade to do the work without applying excessive downward pressure. For nail-embedded wood, maintain a consistent speed to prevent the blade from overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the blade length with your specific saw tool
• Ensure the 6TPI tooth count matches the thickness and type of material you intend to cut
• Check if the slope-shaped nose is appropriate for the geometry of your workspace

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when operating cutting tools. Regularly inspect the blade for signs of wear or tooth damage and replace it if performance decreases to maintain safety and cutting efficiency.
