Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Starrett hacksaws better than budget alternatives?

Starrett hacksaws feature precision-engineered frames that maintain consistent blade tension, resulting in straighter cuts and longer blade life. The superior materials and construction mean they withstand heavy professional use without flexing or breaking, making them more cost-effective long-term despite the higher initial investment.

Which Starrett hacksaw blade should I use?

For general metalworking, Starrett's bi-metal blades offer excellent versatility and longevity. Choose tooth pitch based on material thickness: 18 TPI for thick sections, 24 TPI for general purpose, and 32 TPI for thin-walled materials and sheet metal.

Are Starrett hacksaws suitable for stainless steel?

Absolutely. When paired with appropriate bi-metal blades, Starrett hacksaws excel at cutting stainless steel. The rigid frame design prevents blade wandering, whilst the high-tension capability ensures consistent cutting performance through this challenging material.
