Value Collection BD3102 Bi-metal Hacksaw Blade 24 Tpi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD3102 is a bi-metal hand hacksaw blade designed for cutting metal, conduit, pipe, and structural stock in trade and shop environments. Measuring 12 inches in length, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.025 inches thick, it runs a constant-pitch 24 TPI toothed edge suited for cutting thin-wall and medium-wall materials cleanly. The bi-metal construction bonds a high-speed steel tooth strip to a flexible alloy steel back, allowing the blade to flex under load without snapping. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors reach for this blade when a standard hacksaw frame is the right tool for the cut.

This blade fits standard 12-inch hand hacksaw frames and is appropriate for general-purpose cutting tasks in residential and light commercial trade work. Typical applications include cutting EMT conduit, copper and steel pipe, threaded rod, and angle iron. The 24 TPI count makes it a practical choice for materials with a wall thickness that would bridge at least two or three teeth at any point of contact, which reduces tooth stripping and extends blade life on ferrous stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: flexible alloy back with high-speed steel cutting teeth
• 24 TPI constant-pitch pattern for clean cuts on thin to medium-wall stock
• 12-inch blade length fits standard hand hacksaw frames
• 0.5 inches wide by 0.025 inches thick profile for rigidity without brittleness
• Toothed cutting edge designed for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement blade for standard 12-inch hand hacksaw frames commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work.

Installation Notes

Blade installation is performed by a tradesperson using a standard hand hacksaw frame with adjustable tensioning pins or pegs. Seat both pin holes fully before tensioning the frame wing nut to prevent blade wander or premature breakage. Blades should be replaced when teeth are visibly stripped or when cut speed drops noticeably, not forced through additional cuts. No power tools, codes, or shutdowns are required for blade changeout.
