Backsaw Bahco 255-34 62 cm Black Orange Stainless Steel

The BAHCO backsaw 255-34 with a 62 cm stainless steel blade is designed for straight, controlled cuts in woodworking and general carpentry. The stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance and maintains blade integrity during repeated use. The saw balances a robust cutting length with a compact profile to fit in jobsite toolkits and workshop benches. The handle combines black and orange elements and is shaped to allow a secure, two-handed grip when precise control is required.

Advantages

The stainless steel 62 cm blade offers extended resistance to rust and reliable edge stability for repeatable cuts. The saw’s weight of approximately 995 g contributes to steadiness during cutting without excessive fatigue. The handle ergonomics and color contrast improve visibility and handling in busy work environments. The back reinforcement ensures straighter cuts and reduced blade flex when sawing through hardwoods and construction timber.

Suitable for

• Fine joinery and tenon cutting where accurate shoulder lines are required
• Trimming and fitting wooden components on-site
• Workshop tasks requiring controlled rip and cross cuts over short to medium lengths
• DIY projects involving furniture repair, shelving, or carpentry detailing

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Blade length: 62 cm cutting edge
• Overall weight: approximately 995 g for stable handling
• Handle design: ergonomically shaped with black and orange elements for improved grip and visibility
• Back reinforcement: rigid spine to reduce blade flex and improve cutting accuracy

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or with clamps before beginning. Position the saw so the reinforced back is aligned with the intended cutting line and start with light forward strokes to establish a kerf. Increase stroke length and apply steady, even pressure while allowing the saw's teeth to do the cutting; avoid forcing the blade. For clean shoulders and precise joints, finish with short controlled strokes and check fit frequently. After use, wipe the stainless blade clean and store the tool in a dry place to maintain condition.

Recommendations

Use the backsaw for tasks that require straight, controlled cuts rather than aggressive stock removal. Maintain the blade by cleaning and drying after each use, and store in a protective sleeve or toolbox to preserve the cutting edge and the handle finish.
