Key Features of Expert By Facom Saws

• Hardened steel blades: hold their edge through repeated cuts, so you spend less time changing blades on site.
• Tool-free blade tensioning: frames with quick-release tensioning allow fast blade changes, and correct tension helps keep cuts straight rather than wandering.
• Comfortable pistol-grip handles: a shaped grip with soft-touch material helps reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions.
• Choice of TPI ratings: coarser blades cut soft metals and plastics quickly, while finer blades give cleaner edges on thin-wall material.
• Full-size and junior frames: a 300mm frame handles most general cutting, while a junior hacksaw gets into confined spaces such as behind pipework or inside enclosures.

Hacksaws

The Hacksaws range is the core of the Expert By Facom Saws selection. Full-size frame hacksaws are the all-rounder for metal, plastic and pipe cutting, with an adjustable frame that tensions the blade for straight, controlled cuts.

Junior Hacksaws

Junior hacksaws are compact and easy to carry in a tool pouch. They are handy for small sections, tight spots and quick jobs where a full frame would get in the way.

Replacement Blades

Blades are available in different tooth pitches for different materials. Keeping a few spares in the van means a worn or broken blade won't stop work. Tooled-Up carries blades alongside the frames so you can restock in one order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What TPI hacksaw blade should I choose?

For aluminium, copper and thicker plastics, choose a coarser blade of around 18 to 24 TPI, which cuts quickly without clogging. For general steel cutting, 24 TPI is a good balance. For thin-wall tube, sheet metal and precision work, a fine 32 TPI blade gives a cleaner finish. Aim to keep at least three teeth in contact with the material at all times.

Which way should the blade face in the frame?

Fit the blade with the teeth pointing forward, away from the handle, so it cuts on the push stroke. Tension it firmly. Too little tension causes wandering cuts, while too much can snap the blade.

When should I use a junior hacksaw instead of a full-size frame?

Use a junior hacksaw for small sections or restricted spaces, such as cutting close to a wall or inside an enclosure. A full-size frame is better for longer cuts and for pipe or bar that needs more stroke length and stability.

How do I get the longest life from my hacksaw blades?

Clamp the workpiece securely and use long, steady strokes with light pressure. Match the TPI to the material, and replace blades that are worn or have missing teeth. Wear safety glasses and gloves, as freshly cut metal edges and swarf are sharp. Shop Expert By Facom Saws at Tooled-Up.com to find frames and blades to suit your work.
