ICS Cutting Tools
hack saw blade
ICS hand hacksaw blades can be used to cut a variety of materials and shapes. The proper blade will provide maximum blade life and high cutting efficiency. Selection depends on several considerations.

TEETH PER INCH

14 TOOTH BLADE - COARSE - 1" OR GREATER CROSS SECTION CUTTING
18 TOOTH BLADE - MEDIUM - 1/4" TO 1" CROSS SECTION CUTTING
24 TOOTH BLADE - FINE - SHEET METAL CUTTING AND TUBING
32 TOOTH BLADE - VERY FINE - UP TO 1/16" THICKNESS CUTTING

TOOTH SELECTION: Selecting a blade with the correct number of teeth is dependent on the thickness and type of material to be cut. The teeth must never straddle the material and at least 3 teeth must always be in contact. For thin sections the highest number of teeth should be selected.
