Hand saw for wood Polax 450 mm, 7 TPI, 55 HRC (model 47-006)

Polax hand saw for wood model 47-006 features a 450 mm hardened blade with a 7 TPI tooth pitch and 55 HRC hardness, engineered for manual cutting tasks in carpentry, woodworking and DIY. The blade geometry balances crosscut and rip performance, delivering consistent cutting speed and relatively fine finish on both softwoods and most hardwoods. The saw is intended for use where a medium tooth count provides a compromise between cutting speed and surface quality, and the hardened steel maintains tooth sharpness and edge life during repeated use.

Advantages

The 450 mm length offers reach for typical framing, board and plank cutting while remaining manageable for hand control. A 7 TPI tooth pitch yields a moderate kerf suitable for general-purpose sawing of boards, beams and trimmed timber. Blade hardness of 55 HRC improves wear resistance and maintains cutting performance under frequent use. The saw’s design allows for straight cuts with controlled effort, reducing the need for frequent resharpening and enabling predictable cutting behavior across a range of wood species.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and ripping of construction-grade softwoods
• Trimming and sizing of hardwood boards
• Carpentry tasks such as cutting studs, rafters and battens
• DIY projects involving furniture assembly and on-site wood adjustments

Key specifications

• Blade length: 450 mm
• Tooth pitch: 7 teeth per inch (7 TPI)
• Blade hardness: 55 HRC
• Intended material: softwood and hardwood
• Cut type: suitable for crosscut and rip operations

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the cut line before starting. Use a steady, controlled stroke with the full length of the blade to promote straight cuts; begin with light starter strokes to establish the kerf, then apply consistent moderate pressure. For rip cuts, align the teeth with the grain and use longer strokes; for crosscuts, maintain a slightly higher angle to the wood to achieve a cleaner edge. Regularly clear sawdust from the kerf to reduce friction and inspect the blade for accumulated pitch or debris. Store the saw in a dry place and protect the teeth to avoid damage when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the 7 TPI Polax hand saw to the board thickness and cutting type: use it for general-purpose cutting where a balance between speed and finish is required. Consider pairing with a sawing guide or square for precision cuts and wear protective gloves and eye protection during use.
