Bahco ProfCut Mitre Handsaw - 500mm (20in) - 9 TPI

This saw is primarily designed for cutting plaster and wood-based materials such as MDF, plywood, and solid wood. It is also effective for general-purpose cutting within these material types.

No, the teeth on this saw are hardened and designed for long-term use. They are not intended to be resharpened. If the blade becomes dull or damaged, it should be replaced.

TPI stands for 'Teeth Per Inch'. A 9 TPI rating means there are 9 teeth along every inch of the blade, which is suitable for general-purpose cutting in wood and plaster, offering a balance between cutting speed and finish quality.

For accurate mitre cuts, it is recommended to use the saw in conjunction with a mitre box or a dedicated mitre saw guide. Ensure the material is securely held and aligned correctly within the guide before sawing.

Yes, the saw features a two-component handle designed for comfort and a secure grip, which helps to reduce fatigue during extended cutting tasks.

The GT-toothing includes super sharp teeth at the tip for easy starting and groups of four teeth with extra-large gullets. This design ensures efficient cutting and significantly reduces clogging by clearing debris effectively.

Ensure you are using a steady, even stroke. Check that the material is securely clamped. The GT-toothing is designed for clean cuts, so this may indicate a dulling blade or improper technique.

Clear the gullets (the spaces between teeth) with a brush. Ensure you are not forcing the cut; let the saw do the work. The wide gullets are designed to minimize this, so frequent clogging may indicate excessive force or wet material.

Use the super sharp teeth at the tip of the blade for initial penetration. Apply light pressure to start the cut before engaging the rest of the blade.
