The hacksaw consists of a saw frame (commonly known as a saw bow) and a saw blade. When using, the saw blade is installed on the saw frame. Generally, the saw blade is installed with the tip of the tooth facing forward. However, if you find that it is easier to adze the teeth during use, put the tip of the tooth towards yourself. It can be installed in the same direction, which can relieve the adze and prolong the service life of the saw blade. After the hacksaw is used, the saw blade should be removed or the tension nut should be loosened, which can prevent the saw frame from being deformed, thereby prolonging the service life of the saw frame. There are two types of saw blades: single-sided teeth and double-sided teeth, which are divided into coarse teeth (14 teeth/25mm), medium teeth (18~24 teeth/25mm) and fine teeth (32 teeth/25mm), which are suitable for different materials. sawing.

In order to improve the working efficiency of the hacksaw and avoid adze teeth, use a fine-toothed saw blade when sawing hard materials, a coarse-toothed saw blade when sawing soft materials, and a medium-toothed saw blade when sawing general materials. The thickness of the saw blade is 0.5~0.65mm, the width is 10~12mm, and the length is 200mm, 250mm and 300mm. There are two types of saw frames with fixed length and adjustable length. The adjustable length saw frame has three gears, which are respectively suitable for saw blades of three lengths. The factory is limited by the specifications of the purchased saw blades, and the two shorter gears are basically not used. They just swallow the moving parts when they are idle.
