Product Information
Full details
The Gedore 6500210 is a professional-grade adjustable hacksaw designed for metalworkers and DIY enthusiasts who require precision and durability in their cutting tasks. Its primary benefit is the adaptable tubular steel frame that accommodates various blade lengths and types, making it a versatile addition to any workshop. A key caveat to consider is that while the tool is exceptionally robust, the enamelled handle may become slippery if your hands are coated in heavy oil or grease during intensive use.

FAQs
Can I use this saw with standard 12-inch blades?
Yes, the tubular frame is fully adjustable to accommodate both 10-inch and 12-inch blade lengths.
Is the handle replaceable?
The handle is integrated into the robust steel frame construction and is designed for long-term durability rather than replacement.
What is the total length of the saw?
The total length of the unit is approximately 18.1/2 inches (410 mm).
Does it work with double-sided blades?
Yes, it is designed to work with both single-sided and double-sided hacksaw blades.
How heavy is this hacksaw?
The saw weighs 411 grams, making it lightweight yet sturdy for professional use.
Is this tool suitable for wood cutting?
While it can cut soft wood, it is specifically designed for metalworking. Using it on wood may clog the fine teeth quickly.
Troubleshooting
Blade slips or twists during cutting
Check that the tensioning nut is tightened sufficiently and the blade pins are fully seated in the frame holes.
Difficulty starting a cut
Ensure you are using the correct TPI (teeth per inch) for the material thickness and try making a small notch with a file first.
Excessive blade snapping
The blade may be overtightened or the frame is being flexed sideways during the stroke; maintain a vertical, steady motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Loosen the tensioning nut located at the rear of the frame.
- Insert the chosen 10" or 12" blade into the pins, ensuring the teeth face toward the front of the saw.
- Tighten the nut until the blade provides a clear, musical note when plucked; avoid over-tightening to prevent frame stress.
Compatibility:
This saw is compatible with all standard 10-inch and 12-inch hacksaw blades. It is specifically optimized for Gedore 403 A-405 A (single-sided) and 403 B-405 B (double-sided) series blades.
Care:
- Wipe the frame down with a dry cloth after use to remove metal filings.
- Periodically apply a light machine oil to the tensioning screw threads to maintain smooth operation.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion on the steel frame.
