Starrett 40046 Power Hacksaw Blade 10 Tpi 12in Hss

Product Description

The STARRETT 40046 is a 12-inch high speed steel power hacksaw blade designed for use in reciprocating power hacksaw machines. It cuts at 10 teeth per inch (TPI) with a constant pitch pattern, making it suited for steady, controlled cuts through a range of metals and structural materials. The blade measures 1 inch wide and 0.05 inches thick, with a toothed edge along one side. At 0.2 pounds, it is a standard single-blade unit intended for direct installation into compatible power hacksaw frames. This blade is installed by machinists, millwrights, and metal fabricators working in shop environments.

This blade is used in stationary and semi-portable power hacksaw machines commonly found in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. The 10 TPI constant pitch configuration handles medium to heavy stock removal on solid bar stock, tubing, and structural steel sections. It is sold and packaged individually, making it suitable for single-blade replacement or stocking in small quantities.

Installation Notes

Power hacksaw blades are installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Power down and de-energize the hacksaw machine completely before removing or installing any blade. Ensure the blade is seated firmly against both blade pins and that the tensioning mechanism is tightened to the machine manufacturer's specification before operation. Inspect the blade clamps and guides for wear before each installation.
