Lenox 20163T018HE Bi-metal Hacksaw Blades 18 Tpi 2-pack

Product Description

The LENOX 20163T018HE is a bi-metal hand hacksaw blade designed for cutting a wide range of materials including metal pipe, conduit, strut, and structural stock. The blade measures 1/2 inch in width and features a constant-pitch toothed cutting edge at 18 teeth per inch, making it well suited for moderate-thickness ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth edge to a flexible alloy steel back, resisting breakage under the flex and torque of hand-sawing. Each package contains two blades. This is a standard trade consumable used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors on both residential and commercial job sites.

The 18 TPI constant pitch pattern is a versatile choice for cutting materials in the mid-thickness range, including iron pipe, copper tubing, electrical conduit, unistrut, and light structural angle. The 1/2 inch blade width fits standard hand hacksaw frames that accept replacement blades. This blade is a practical everyday cutter for technicians who need reliable performance during rough-in and service work without carrying multiple blade types.

Installation Notes

Blade installation is performed by plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general tradespeople using a standard hand hacksaw frame. Ensure the frame tension is properly set before cutting to prevent blade flex and premature breakage. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when handling and installing hacksaw blades, as tooth edges are sharp. Replace blades when cutting speed noticeably decreases or teeth appear worn or stripped.
