Hacksaw Blade Bahco 442-3P Weight 18 g

The BAHCO hacksaw blade 442-3P is a thin, precision cutting blade intended for use in standard hacksaw frames. Weighing approximately 18 g, this blade is built for accurate straight cuts in a variety of common workshop materials. Its design balances cutting speed and edge life to provide reliable performance for both professional and DIY tasks.

Advantages

The blade delivers consistent tooth geometry for even cutting and reduced vibration, enabling cleaner edges. Constructed from corrosion-resistant steel, it maintains cutting performance over repeated use. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to handle and simple to install in compatible frames, while the blade profile and tooth pitch are selected to suit a broad range of general-purpose cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal rods, pipes and profiles of soft to medium-hard metals
• Cutting plastic and PVC piping
• Light carpentry and trim work requiring thin, controlled cuts
• General workshop maintenance and repair tasks

Key specifications

• Net weight: approximately 18 g
• Blade type: hacksaw blade for standard frames
• Material: hardened and corrosion-resistant steel
• Tooth configuration: fine/medium tooth pitch suitable for general-purpose cutting
• Length and thickness: compatible with standard hand hacksaw dimensions

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible hacksaw frame with teeth oriented toward the workpiece for cutting on the forward stroke, or according to the frame manufacturer's recommendation. Secure the blade tension so it is straight and firm to avoid bending during use. Mark the cut line on the workpiece, hold the material securely in a vice or clamp, and use steady, controlled strokes, allowing the blade to do the cutting without applying excessive sideways pressure. Periodically inspect the blade for wear or damage and replace it when tooth wear reduces cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting lubricant or coolant when sawing harder metals to reduce heat and extend blade life. Select an appropriate tooth pitch for the material thickness: finer teeth for thin materials and plastics, medium teeth for most general metal cutting. Store blades in a dry place to prevent corrosion and handle with care to avoid damaging the teeth.
