Stanley High Speed Steel Molybdenium Hacksaw Blades (2) 0 15 906

Product Information

Carbon fiber is strong but lightweight and flexible. Using the wrong blade when cutting carbon fiber can cause the workpiece to warp or break. Medium blades have a TPI of 18 and are meant to cut workpieces with a cross-section between ¼” and 1”. They remove slightly less material per cut than their coarse counterparts. They are suited to cutting harder material than the coarse blades. Bi-metal blades are well-suited to cutting through most materials, including stainless steel and pipes and conduits made of nearly any material. 4. Carbide Grit Edged Blades

Here, a carbide grit or bi-metal blade would work best, although a High Speed Steel blade could also work. 6. Wood Generally, copper and brass require blades with 18 TPI, while bronze requires a 24 TPI blade. However, the cross-sectional diameter of the workpiece could also influence this. 3. Carbon Fiber

PVC and other plastics are relatively soft materials and typically require a medium blade with 18 TPI. A high carbon steel blade will work well here since the application doesn’t call for a hard-wearing blade. However, if you don’t have access to this, most other blades should work in these applications. 5. Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a hard metal, requiring a fine or very fine blade, with a TPI of at least 24, but preferably 32.Fine blades with a TPI of 24 are best suited to cutting GI pipes, and sheet metal (both metal and plastic). These blades cut slowly, removing little material per cut, making for a smooth, clean cut.
