FAQs
What size blades does this hacksaw use?
This Teng Tools Mini Hacksaw is designed for 150mm (6-inch) mini hacksaw blades.
How many blades are included?
The hacksaw comes complete with 3 x 150mm 24 TPI mini hacksaw blades.
What is the benefit of the 6-position blade setting?
The 6-position blade setting allows you to change the angle of the blade relative to the frame, which is useful for cutting in awkward positions or at specific angles where a straight cut is not feasible.
Is this hacksaw suitable for cutting metal?
Yes, with the included 24 TPI blades, it is suitable for cutting various metals and plastics. For harder metals, you might consider blades with a higher TPI count.
How do I maintain the hacksaw?
Keep the hacksaw clean and dry. Loosen the blade tension when not in use and store it in a protective environment to prevent rust and maintain its functionality.
What is the approximate weight of the hacksaw?
The approximate weight of the mini hacksaw is 0.13 kg.
Troubleshooting
Blade is loose or slipping.
Ensure the blade is correctly seated in the frame's grooves and tighten the tensioning mechanism firmly. Check that the tensioning mechanism itself is clean and functioning correctly.
Blade breaks during use.
Verify the blade is properly tensioned. Avoid forcing the saw; let the teeth do the work. Ensure you are using the correct blade TPI for the material. Check for any obstructions or binding.
Difficult to adjust blade angle.
Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and free of debris. If stiff, a small amount of lubricant might help, but avoid over-application which can attract dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a 150mm (6-inch) hacksaw blade.
- Insert the blade into the frame, ensuring the teeth face forward.
- Use the tensioning mechanism to achieve a taut blade. The blade should make a 'ping' sound when plucked.
- Adjust the blade angle using the 6-position setting to your desired orientation.
Compatibility:
- This hacksaw frame is designed for standard 150mm (6-inch) mini hacksaw blades.
- Ensure replacement blades have appropriate TPI (Teeth Per Inch) for the material being cut. 24 TPI is a good general-purpose choice.
Care:
- After use, clean the frame and blade of any debris.
- Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
- Loosen blade tension when storing for extended periods to prolong blade and frame life.
- Periodically check the tensioning mechanism for smooth operation.
