Frequently Asked Questions

What is Easy Start technology?

Easy Start refers to the triple tooth grind at the start of the blade. The uniquely ground teeth enter the material cleanly on the first stroke, which stops the saw skipping or catching. That gives you control from the start of the cut, whether you are cutting timber, MDF or chipboard.

What does 8 TPI suit?

8 teeth per inch is a general purpose tooth count for cutting timber, sheet material and plastic. It cuts reasonably fast while still leaving a clean edge, which makes it a good all round handsaw for framing, trimming and site cutting. For very fine joinery you might step down to a finer tooth saw.

Can I cut metal with this saw?

No. This handsaw is made for wood, MDF, chipboard and plastics. For cutting metal pipe, rod and sheet, use a hacksaw with the correct metal cutting blade. Keep a separate saw for metal so the timber blade stays sharp.

How do I look after the blade?

Wipe the blade clean after use and keep it dry to protect the hardpoint finish and coating. Do not force the saw through a cut faster than it wants to go, and let the teeth do the work. Store the saw in a dry place, ideally with a blade guard or sheath to protect the teeth.
