The hacksaw blades are designed for metal cutting and it is made from High Carbon Steel for standard and non-ferrous metals.

How to use a hacksaw:

1. Clamp the workpiece in a vice.


2. Select the correct TPI blade for the material thickness.


3. Align the blade in the hacksaw with the teeth facing forward.


4. The cutting action is normally in the push direction at 60 strokes per
   minute, using the entire length of the blade.


5. Close to the end of the cut, decrease the rate of cut.
   
   

Generally speaking... The blade doesn't cut faster by leaning heavily on the
hacksaw or cutting at a faster rate.
