Backsaw Bahco PC-22-GT7 55 cm Black Red Stainless Steel

The BAHCO PC-22-GT7 55 cm backsaw features a 55 cm stainless steel blade and an ergonomically shaped black and red handle engineered for precision cutting. Weighing approximately 420 g, this backsaw is balanced to support controlled, straight cuts in wood and composite materials. The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains consistent tooth geometry for repeatable results during fine sawing operations.

Advantages

This backsaw combines a stiff spine with a durable stainless steel blade to ensure straight, accurate cuts and long blade life. The lightweight but sturdy construction reduces user fatigue while the contoured handle provides a secure grip and improved control. Tooth geometry and blade finish are optimized for precise crosscuts and trimming tasks, making the tool suitable for both professional and home workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Precision crosscuts in soft and hard woods
• Trimming and joinery work where controlled, straight cuts are required
• Model making and furniture repair tasks
• General DIY carpentry and finishing operations

Key specifications

• Blade length: 55 cm
• Blade material: stainless steel (corrosion-resistant)
• Overall weight: approx. 420 g
• Handle: ergonomic black and red grip
• Blade type: backed saw with stiffening spine for straight cuts

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly before starting. Position the backsaw so the spine rests parallel to the cut line to maintain a straight trajectory. Use controlled, even strokes with moderate pressure, allowing the saw teeth to do the cutting rather than forcing the blade. For best accuracy, start with a light scoring stroke to define the cut and then continue with longer, steady strokes. Maintain a comfortable stance and keep the wrist aligned with the forearm to improve control.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the stainless steel blade clean and dry after use and store the saw in a protective sleeve or tool rack to prevent damage to the teeth and spine. Periodically inspect the tooth set and sharpen or replace the blade if cuts become less accurate. When cutting hardwoods or abrasive composite materials, use steady, confident strokes and avoid lateral bending of the blade.
