INFORMATION
THE HACKSAW IS USED TO CUT STEEL AND OTHER METALS. IT CAN ALSO BE USED
TO CUT PLASTICS. IT IS SOMETIMES CALLED AN ADJUSTABLE HACKSAW BECAUSE
THE LENGTH OF THE FRAME CAN BE ALTERED TO HOLD BLADES OF DIFFERENT
SIZES. BLADES ARE SUPPLIED IN TWO LENGTHS, 250MM AND 300MM.
BLADES ARE ALSO DESCRIBED BY THE NUMBER OF TEETH PER INCH (TPI). BLADES
HAVE 14, 18, 24, 32 TEETH PER 25MM (INCH). A BLADE WITH 14 TPI IS COARSE,
WHILST A BLADE WITH 32 TPI IS VERY FINE.
