Hacksaw Blade Bahco 1162N-1/2

The Bahco 1162N-1/2 hacksaw blade is a precision cutting accessory from BAHCO designed for clean, controlled cuts across a range of materials. At approximately 90 g, the blade balances rigidity and handling for use in standard hacksaw frames. Its geometry and tooth configuration are optimized to provide consistent cutting performance while maintaining edge durability during repetitive tasks.

Advantages

This hacksaw blade combines wear resistance with stable cutting action, reducing the need for frequent blade changes. Its construction supports straight, accurate cuts and minimizes material deformation. The relatively light weight contributes to easier handling during extended use, and the blade's tooth pattern helps manage debris evacuation for uninterrupted cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal rods, pipes and profiles
• General workshop and maintenance tasks
• DIY projects requiring precise straight cuts
• Replacement blade for compatible hacksaw frames

Key specifications

• Application: manual hacksaw cutting
• Weight: approximately 90 g
• Material compatibility: suitable for a variety of metals and similar hard materials
• Form factor: narrow blade designed for standard hacksaw frames
• Tooth design: configured for precision cutting and chip removal

How to use

Install the blade into a compatible hacksaw frame following the frame manufacturer's guidance, ensuring correct orientation for the tooth direction. Secure the blade under appropriate tension to prevent flexing during use. Mark the cut line, start with light forward strokes to establish the kerf, then proceed with steady, even strokes while maintaining alignment. Periodically clear chips from the work area and inspect the blade for wear; replace the blade when cutting efficiency decreases or teeth become damaged.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match blade selection to the material thickness and hardness for optimal life span. Avoid excessive side pressure to prevent premature blade breakage and maintain consistent cutting speed for best results.
