HSS metal saw blade KREATOR KRT041030 75 x 2 mm 12 TPI

HSS metal saw blade KREATOR KRT041030 75 x 2 mm 12 TPI is a thin, high-speed steel cutting blade designed for metalworking tasks. The blade measures 75 mm in length and 2 mm in thickness, with a 12 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth pitch optimized for cutting sheet metal and thin-walled metal sections. Constructed from HSS, the blade offers improved wear resistance and thermal tolerance compared with standard carbon steel blades, making it suitable for repetitive cutting where heat build-up can occur.

Advantages

The high-speed steel construction provides increased hardness and edge retention, allowing more cuts before the blade requires replacement. The 12 TPI tooth pitch delivers a balance between cutting speed and cut smoothness, enabling relatively fast, straight cuts while maintaining reasonable burr control on thin metals. The 2 mm thickness gives the blade sufficient rigidity for straight-line sawing while remaining thin enough to minimize material loss and heat generation during cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting sheet metal and thin metal plates
• Trimming metal profiles and thin-walled tubing
• Precision straight cuts in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum sheets (with appropriate feed and speed)
• Use in handheld hacksaws and compatible machine sawing fixtures where 75 x 2 mm blades are supported

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Length: 75 mm
• Thickness: 2 mm
• Tooth pitch: 12 TPI (teeth per inch)
• Tooth type: fine-tooth profile suitable for thin metals

How to use

Install the blade in a compatible hacksaw frame or machine holder, ensuring proper orientation of the teeth for cutting on the forward or backward stroke as intended by the tool. Secure the blade with correct tension to avoid deflection and ensure straight cuts. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material: slower feed and moderate speed for stainless steel, faster feed for softer metals such as aluminum. Use cutting fluid or lubricant where recommended to reduce heat and extend blade life, and clear swarf regularly to prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

For best performance and long blade life, match the 12 TPI HSS blade to thin metal sections and sheet work. Use coolant when cutting stainless steel or other heat-sensitive alloys, maintain consistent feed pressure to avoid tooth breakage, and replace the blade when cutting quality declines or excessive burrs appear.
