Frequently Asked Questions

Which blade do I use for which material?

Sutton’s guide is simple: 18TPI for 6 to 25mm material such as pipe, angle iron and steel bar; 24TPI for 3 to 6mm material such as conduit, heavy sheet and tubing; and 32TPI for material under 3mm such as thin sheet and metal trim. The combo pack gives you one of each.

Why is a bi-metal blade shatterproof?

Bi-metal blades have a flexible high speed steel body with a hard cutting edge, so they flex under load instead of snapping. That is what makes them shatterproof and gives them superior cutting power and flexibility over an all hard blade.

Will these fit my hacksaw frame?

Yes. All Sutton hacksaw blades have 300mm pin hole centres, which fit all standard size hacksaw frames. Check that your frame takes the standard 300mm length before ordering.

Is the combo pack good value?

Yes. Buying the three pitches together is cheaper than three separate 2 packs, and it means you have the right blade for the job on hand. It is a sensible starting pack for a workshop kit.

How should I store the blades?

Keep the spare blades in their card or in a blade wallet so the teeth do not knock against other tools. A blade that rattles loose in a drawer dulls fast, and the colour coded markings make it easy to grab the right pitch when you need it.
