Starrett 40336 Bi-metal Hand Hacksaw Blade 18 Tpi

Product Description

The STARRETT 40336 is a bi-metal hand hacksaw blade built for demanding cutting tasks on metal pipe, conduit, structural steel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 12 inches in length with an 18 TPI constant-pitch tooth pattern, it produces a consistent cut suited to general-purpose hand sawing. The blade body is bi-metal construction with high speed steel teeth, combining flexibility to resist breakage with edge hardness to maintain sharpness through extended use. At 1/2 inch wide and 0.025 inches thick, the blade fits standard hand hacksaw frames. Each package contains 2 blades.

This blade is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trade applications where hand hacksaws are part of the standard toolkit. The 18 TPI constant-pitch pattern works well on medium-wall tubing, conduit, angle iron, and similar materials. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians who regularly cut through metal in the field or on the bench will find the consistent pitch pattern produces clean, predictable cuts without blade wander.

Installation Notes

Licensed trades and general mechanics install hand hacksaw blades by seating the blade pin holes over the frame pins and tensioning the frame until the blade is taut with minimal flex. Teeth should point forward, away from the handle, for a push-cut stroke. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when handling or installing blades. Discard worn blades in a puncture-resistant container to prevent injury.
