Backsaw Bahco 2500-22-XT-HP 55 cm Black Orange Stainless Steel

The BAHCO backsaw 2500-22-XT-HP with a 55 cm stainless steel blade is designed for precise manual cutting of wood and plastic. Lightweight at approximately 490 g, this backsaw combines a rigid back for straight cuts with a slim, corrosion-resistant blade to maintain edge quality over repeated use. The handle is shaped for a comfortable grip, helping to reduce hand fatigue during extended tasks while giving good control for accurate cuts.

Advantages

This backsaw provides a balance of stiffness and manoeuvrability thanks to its reinforced spine and long thin blade. The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and holds a fine tooth profile suited to clean crosscuts and trimming operations. Its ergonomic handle promotes secure handling and improved cutting accuracy, while the overall lightweight construction makes it easy to position and move for both professional and hobby woodworking.

Suitable for

• Fine crosscuts and trimming of soft and hardwoods
• Cutting and trimming plastic components and laminates
• Joinery tasks such as tenons, shoulders and small framing work
• Model making, carpentry and general workshop use

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Blade length: 55 cm
• Weight: approximately 490 g
• Rigid reinforced spine for straight cuts
• Ergonomic handle for improved grip and control
• Tooth profile: fine pitch suitable for clean cuts in wood and plastic

How to use

Secure the workpiece using clamps or a vise to prevent movement. Hold the backsaw with a comfortable grip on the handle and position the blade so the rigid spine guides a straight cut. Start with a light forward stroke to establish a kerf, then use steady, even strokes making full use of the blade length for efficient cutting. Maintain a consistent angle and pressure to avoid binding; allow the saw to do the cutting rather than forcing it.

Recommendations

Keep the blade clean and dry after use to reduce corrosion risk despite the stainless construction. Periodically check and maintain the tooth profile and consider light sharpening when cuts become dull. Store the saw in a protective cover or tool rack to prevent edge damage and to maintain cutting performance.
