Hand saw for wood Polax 500 mm, 7 TPI, blade hardness 55 HRC (model 47-007)

Hand saw for wood Polax 500 mm, 7 TPI, blade hardness 55 HRC is a manual cutting tool designed for general carpentry and woodworking. The 500 mm blade length and 7 teeth per inch tooth pitch balance cutting speed and finish quality, while the 55 HRC blade hardness ensures edge retention and wear resistance for repeated use. The saw is intended for straight crosscuts and rip cuts in soft and hardwoods, dimensional lumber and panel materials.

Advantages

The Polax hand saw combines a medium-length blade with a medium-coarse tooth pitch, giving reliable cutting progress without excessive effort. The 55 HRC hardened blade reduces frequent sharpening and preserves cutting performance during typical jobsite and workshop use. The blade geometry and tooth spacing provide predictable cutting lines and manageable kerf for both trimming and ripping operations. The handle design offers a secure grip and control for accurate manual sawing.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and ripping of dimensional lumber
• Cutting boards, planks and softwood or hardwood panels
• DIY carpentry, furniture repair and joinery preparation
• On-site wood trimming and finishing work

Key specifications

• Blade length: 500 mm
• Tooth pitch: 7 TPI (teeth per inch)
• Blade hardness: 55 HRC
• Intended material: wood (softwood and hardwood), timber, boards
• Cut types: crosscut and rip cut

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the cut line clearly. Position the saw so the teeth engage at the start of the cut, using light forward strokes to create a guiding groove. Use full, steady strokes applying even pressure; let the saw teeth do the cutting rather than forcing the blade. For crosscuts keep the saw at a slight angle to follow the marked line; for rip cuts align with the wood grain and maintain a smooth rhythm. Periodically check the blade for pitch or resin buildup and clean if necessary to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Store the saw in a dry place and protect the teeth with a sheath or blade cover to preserve edge sharpness. For prolonged sharpness, avoid cutting materials with embedded nails or abrasive particles. If the blade dulls, sharpen using appropriate files or consider professional reconditioning to restore the cutting edge while maintaining the specified hardness.
