Hand saw for wood GEKO 500 mm blade 65Mn steel, 40 teeth

GEKO hand saw for wood with a 500 mm blade made of 65Mn high-carbon steel and 40 teeth is designed for manual straight cuts and trimming in both softwoods and hardwoods. The rigid blade length and tooth count balance cutting speed with control, making this saw suitable for crosscutting and rip cutting in carpentry, woodworking and general DIY tasks. The saw’s construction emphasizes durable edge retention and steady performance for repetitive sawing operations.

Advantages

The 65Mn high-carbon steel blade provides good hardness and wear resistance for sustained edge life, while the 40-tooth profile offers a compromise between smoother cuts and cutting speed. The 500 mm blade length enables longer strokes and improved efficiency when cutting larger boards. The overall design supports straight, accurate cuts with reduced need for frequent resharpening under normal working conditions.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting lumber and boards
• Rip cutting smaller planks and battens
• Carpentry and joinery work
• General woodworking and DIY projects
• Trimming and finishing cuts

Key specifications

• Blade length: 500 mm
• Blade material: 65Mn high-carbon steel
• Number of teeth: 40
• Intended cut types: crosscut and rip cut
• Handle: manual grip suitable for two-handed or single-handed use (ergonomic design typical for hand saws)

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly before starting. Mark the cut line clearly and position the saw so that the teeth engage the wood at the start point. Use long, even strokes along the full length of the 500 mm blade to maintain straightness and reduce binding; allow the saw to cut under its own pressure without forcing. For crosscuts, keep the saw at a slight angle to the face of the board and follow the marked line; for rip cuts, align the blade with the grain and use steady forward strokes. Periodically clear sawdust from the kerf to preserve cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade clean and dry when stored to prevent corrosion; hone or file teeth as needed to restore cutting performance. For prolonged life, avoid cutting materials with embedded nails or hard metal inclusions, and use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when sawing.
