Hand Saws - Razor Saws for Cutting Soft Metals, Plastic & Wood

Razor saws are a type of back saw, which includes finely-pitched crosscut teeth. These hand saws contain disposable/replaceable blades - as it is very difficult to sharpen their teeth due to their small size.

Metal Cutting Saw

Razor saws come in a variety of teeth-per-inch (TPI), with more teeth indicating a finer saw blade. The average teeth per inch of a razor saw are 15 TPI. The finer blades can go up to as many as 60 TPI. The blades are primarily used for cutting plastic, wood and soft metal to a depth which depends on the depth of the blade. With a double faced metal edge, the top of the blade will only fit in particular slot sizes of miter boxes. These hand saws have a rigid back or holder which allows the blade to be able to cut straight lines that are useful for miter cuts in wider pieces of metal or wood.

Metal Cutting Saw

There are various benefits associated with the usage of razor saws. First and foremost, the benefit of using these hand saws is that the presence of the thin blades allows them to cut soft metal, plastic or wood with a very small kerf, maintaining a neat and clean edge on both sides of the cut. Used with more teeth per inch, makes these saws a perfect alternative for fine inlay work on instruments or inlaid dollhouse furniture, railroad cars, track and plastic airplane kits. They also serve the purpose of cutting rod and thin tubing, mitering, slitting, and sawing of very delicate parts. Most of these hand saws cut only on the pull stroke. However, you can also find a huge assortment of razor saws with replaceable/removable blades which can also be used for push or pull strokes.

Without any doubt, these hand saws have become a perfect solution for hobbyists, notably Model boat, Model aircraft and Model railroad enthusiasts.

Saws for Cutting Wood

Whether you are a professional carpenter or a keen do-it-yourself woodwork enthusiast, you will need to have tools that you can use to cut the wood you are working with. While you might use an axe to cut trees and logs, the most common woodcutting tools are saws. These come in various guises and sizes, some of which are powered by electricity or batteries, and those that are much simpler hand tools.

Metal Cutting Saw

Hand tools for cutting wood
Even though most carpenters use electric or battery powered cordless saws, they always have a selection of good quality hand saws in their toolkit. A bow saw, which has a curved handle and an interchangeable blade that is fitted across one side, is large, even though the blade itself is narrow. It is an invaluable tool for rough cutting branches and logs. You can also use it to cut poles. A hack saw also has a narrow blade will give you a much finer cut than a bow saw. If you fit it with a metal cutting blade you can also use it to cut bolts and other parts. A tenon saw has a solid, rectangular blade that is not removable. This is one of the most useful saw types because it cuts accurately and can be used to cut housings and accurate joints. A panel saw also has a fitted blade, but it has a tapered appearance. It is very useful for cutting wood and for trimming posts and planks.

Metal Cutting Saw

Hand-held power tools for cutting wood
There are a large number of different brands of tools that you will find on the market, some cheaper than others. The decision of which brand to buy will depend on two factors. The first is of course budget, and the second function, depending on whether you are looking for a professional tool or just something that you will use from time to time in and around the house for various DIY projects. Just bear in mind that cheap tools don't last as long as better quality, more expensive one, and they don't always do a particularly good job cutting.

The two most popular power-saw types are the circular saw and the jigsaw. The former is indispensable, particularly if you are doing quite a lot of heavy woodwork. Look for a tool that has a good beveling capacity and is able to cut a variety of angles. Check the guard design to make sure it won't get in the way if you want to bevel edges or make thin, tapering shims. Some circular saws have a safety brake that will stop the blade from turning when you stop working.

Some of them do not cut perfect angles, which will only be a problem if you are doing accurate joinery, making furniture for example. A jigsaw is also useful for joinery, as well as for cutting quite intricate patterns and circles which other saw types are not able to do.

Another type of saw that can be useful is a chainsaw, which may be electric or petrol (or diesel) driven. It is most useful for cutting branches, logs and poles.

Workshop tools for cutting wood
Anyone who does a lot of woodwork or serious carpentry will usually invest in workshop tools which they mount onto a workbench. The most common are bench saws and radial saws. Professional models are generally larger than those used by the home handyman.

Metal Cutting Bandsaw

If you go to a metal working shop then you will note that their most key tool is a metal cutting band saw. These are brilliant for cutting large sheets of metal down to smaller more usable sizes and can even do an amount of precision work. Such band saws are friendly firmly to a surface or program and have a cutting blade that is round in size with incredibly sharp teeth.

Metal Cutting Saw

While using any type of saw it is fundamental to use eye guard and also maintain the blade well lubricated. Nearly metal cutting band saws force you to feed the metal on to the blade, although other saws use gravity driven blades that cut from side to side metal that has been clamped down.

Metal Cutting Saw

Condition you are following a smaller tool then you could bear in mind buying a convenient metal cutting saw. These can be used to cut through thinner sheet metal. A cold metal cutting saw is lightweight and therefore hand held rather than fastened down. Since with a band saw the blade is round, but this smaller tool permits a much greater precision than would otherwise be had.

You will frequently discover that the blade is manufactured from Cermet - a composite metallic/ceramic material that is heat resistant and can retain its sturdiness for a longer instant as in comparison to the old fashioned tungsten carbide blades. With a controlling hand held cold metal cutting saw there should be no effort running with steel sheet metal that is up to six millimeters thick.

The truth that with a lightweight cold cutting saw the blade never gets also hot means that the freshness is reserved for longer and the anti-corrosive coating does not get broken. If you use a metal cutting saw perfectly you must not run off any burrs or symbols on the metal. Nearly all modern metal cutting saws ought to also come equipped with a durable collection tray or container which catches the steel dust or particles that are produced therefore stopping their spreading over a wide region.

A lightweight cold metal saw is used frequently by sheet metal roofers. It allows them to carry out their work with a greater effectiveness in regard to trimming and cutting of the sheet metal and grooved iron that is still usual for saleable and trade roofing. If the metal that is to be cut is tougher than can be carried out with an ordinary metal saw, then it may be needed to use electric cutters or a saw with a specially made extremely abrasive blade.

As with any tool it can take some time to get use to the process of a saw used for metal cutting. If you have never used one before then it makes sense to practice on several extra sheet metal that can be thrown away or ask for a example from someone with knowledge.

Metal Cutting Band Saw Uses and Safety

Man has been in the business of making tools to make life easier for him and one of the tools that has been faithful to this mandate is a metal cutting band saw. If you are thinking of cutting metal and believe you only need to have a metal cutting band saw; maybe a horizontal band saw to achieve this feat, well you are okay up to the point of considering this band saw type, but there is more to reflect upon. Metals come in different shapes, sizes and density or should I say thickness so cutting them requires you have certain knowledge and skill set. This is important as attempting to cut any metal without knowing this could lead to fatal consequences.

Metal Cutting Saw

Having said this, the things you ought to know when attempting to work on a metal are the features different types of metals possess and how these metals are cut, the accessories and equipment, which you will need to have to safely carry out this out this task. Having knowledge of the features of a metal you plan to work on is essential. If for instance, you want to use a friend's horizontal band saw; you need to know that this equipment usually uses different blades, which are made to work on different types of metals. A saw blade that has been made to work on aluminum will likely not do a nice job on any stainless steel. This is because of the hardness of stainless steel, which will need another kind of saw blade to carry out any task on it.

Metal Cutting Saw

Another important concern that you should have is how you wish to work on the metals, what cuts do you like to make on these metals? This is essential as you should know what type of metal cutting band saw machine is needed to cut the metal you want to work on. Horizontal band saw for example is primarily used in straight-line sawing. A safety measure that you should have before trying any cut on a metal is making sure you use the band saw's vice in order to hold the metal in place, while you are working on it. To neglect this, could lead to serious consequences.

If the vice is faulty ensure you replace it or carry out a repair where this is possible as this could mean preventing a major injury from happening. The reason for using a vice while working with metal is because of the resistance that is experienced as metal meets with metal when using a metal cutting band saw. This makes the metal to glide over the saw and accidents do happen, if you know what I mean. You should also make sure you put on safety glasses for your eyes to protect them from metal fragments and wear leather gloves.

Expanded Knowledge For a Metal Cutting Blade Job

There is no substitute for a metal cutting blade when you have to cut large metal sheets into more usable sizes. Choosing and applying the right cutting blade, along with proper maintenance results in a first-class job. In this article, we will show how following these easy-to-follow steps, your circular saw blades can cut metal sheet safely, cross cut accurately, make repetitive cuts easily. One may also discover that the expanded knowledge and on-the-job experience regarding the use of ductile iron blades have changed the way metal fabricators view the tool as well as uncovered expanding efficiencies gained through its use.

Metal Cutting Saw

A saw made specifically for metal cutting to be used

Metal Cutting Saw

Metal cutting saw blades are employed to boost productivity. These ductile iron blades are simply best for professionals who cut common materials at almost every job site such as angle iron, sheet metal pipe, and steel plate found almost everywhere. Dedicated blades and saws engineered to perform the job are relatively new to the industry, so some fabricators may be unaware of the technology. Using a proper tool and a saw can bring in a loss of time and money. For high-end performance, it is recommended that a saw and a blade made specifically for metal cutting be used.

Choosing and Maintaining the Blade

There are several things to consider when purchasing metal cutting blades, the first of which is the application. Blades are designed for a specific material, such as aluminum, steel, or copper.

Blade Pitch and Design

The size of the work determines ductile blades pitch and design. The information is explicitly detailed on the packaging. In case of uncertainty, one can contact the company tech support.

Use Only Saw-Specific Metal Cutting Blade

It is highly recommended that a saw-specific metal cutting blade is employed for cutting through many structurals and solids. Although a circular saw blade is fairly versatile for several applications, it does have its limitations, and there are a number of applications mentioned on the packaging.

Preventing Premature Machine Wear

Buildup of materials on the cutting edge calls premature machine wear and attrition of the blade edge material. A professionally-built blade will avoid this buildup. One must specifically set the desired revolutions per minute (RPM) for metal cutting. It is important to note that a too high RPM for high cutting will lead to premature machine wear and attrition of the blade edge material. A slower speed will produce a clean and professional smooth cut.

Proper Application is Mandatory

Metal cutting blades should not be mounted on typical wood cutting saws. It is because the amount of torque developed during metal cutting could cause machine breakdown or result in operator injury or tool damage. The blade should be permitted to "spin up", or get to full speed, before engaging the work. This allows the blade to work effectively and prevent tool damage.

Never use a dull blade

If the blade on a metal saw is too dull, it will place an unwanted strain on both the saw and the operator. A dull blade in a saw can be risky because of the additional force the operator must apply in order to make a cut. Moreover, it can also distort and damage the saw by overworking the motor.

One must buy a blade with the correct attributes for the work and saw. A metal cutting blade makes crosscuts safe, simple and accurate. Therefore, the next time you carry a project that involves cutting sheet metal, head to the hardware store and pick up a quality metal cutting blade that's right for the task. The savings in time and frustration will more than make up for the cost of the new cutting blade.

Different Kinds of Metal Cutting Hand Saws

Hand saws are primarily used for cutting metal whether it is a soft metal or is a thin sheet. These hand tools are majorly used by jewelers, roofers and plumbers for various cutting purposes. However, if you are going to work on a specific metal cutting project, then it is very important to select the correct tool among various metal cutting hand saws in order to ensure maximum possible positive results.

Metal Cutting Saw

Hacksaw

Metal Cutting Saw

A hacksaw comes with a blade and primarily used for cutting metal pipe or sheet metal. As far as the structure of this hand tool is concerned, it comes with an open frame and includes pins that are located at either end of the frame securing a thin, strip-like blade. Users can easily replace the blades when they get blunt. A pipe is cut when long, steady strokes are executed with sawing back and forth. They also come with machine oil that helps add lubrication in order to eliminate vibration.

Tri-fold Saw

A tri-fold saw is a fine compact folding saw that primarily serves the purpose of cutting fine metal using standard reciprocating saw blades. When you take an initiative for cutting wood, plaster or PVC, the metal blade gets switched out with other several types of blades. Like pocketknife, one can fold the blade of this saw. One can employ the blade in a straight position. One can also set the blade at an angle that is ideal for cutting something in a hard-to-reach place.

Jeweler's Saw

A jeweler's saw resembles the hacksaw in configuration. However, these hand saws are especially designed for cutting softer metals like copper. It is quite easy to adjust the length of jeweler's saw. It helps the users when they insert snapped blades or have to control the stroke length.

Bare-Tool Milwaukee 6320-20 18-Volt Ni-Cad 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Metal Cutting Circular Saw (Tool Only, No Battery) Specifications

Metal’s no challenge for this little Milwaukee brute, slicing quickly through everything we put it to: unhardened ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastics and cement board. Power is plentiful, with an 18-volt battery juicing the blade’s 3,200 rpm. We were surprised at how quickly the electric brake halts the blade, too: In our very unscientific test, it was about a second and a half, great for repetitive cuts and even more important for safety. The blade guard is clear, and you do get a great sightline because of it, but it is plastic, and we didn’t want to take our chances slamming it around the warehouse to see what kind of impact it would withstand. A little care is a small price for a much-improved view, we think. It’s lighter than we expected by the rugged look of it, so it handles beautifully, and the ergonomic D-handle grip feels great. If you’re in plumbing, construction, maintenance or even fire and rescue, you ought to have this saw.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Metal Cutting Band Saw - Choosing the Best One

The metal band saw is 1 of the most critical equipment in the workshop of a metalworker. As the brand implies, the metal cutting band saw is used to carve through a variety of types of metals, counting but not exclusive to steel, copper & aluminium rails. It consists of flexible steel, sharp teeth on 1 side or both sides. It does this by cutting through the metal using silicon carbide, diamond, or some other kind of abrasive to slice through strong materials.

Metal Cutting Saw

While the metal cutting band saw is designed mainly to break down great sheets of metal into smaller, usable bits, it can also be used to carve little item's like rabbets & pivots, as it also has the capability to make meticulous cuts. A heavier metal cutting band saw can be fastened down to make cutting easier, while the lighter versions generally have the PDA. The metal chop saw is normally used in construction sites & water treatment plants to cut through large metal pipe.

Metal Cutting Saw

If you're looking for a metal cutting band saw for use in your private workshop or workplace, the best fashion to do this is through the Internet. There are multiple advantages to doing this, apart from the convenience of not having to step outside your quarters to do your shopping. If you shop for the metal cutting band saw on the internet, you'll be able to compare those released by the manufacturers to put side by side not only how much they cost, but also in conditions of their performance.

An additional point I care for is that you can get some feedback & reviews from people with a lot of them have the same level of metalworking proficiency like you who have purchased their own metal cutting band saw to find out what exactly to look for & what models are the best out there.

In addition, shopping online also cost less than if you buy goods from the store in general (and that isn't counting the gas money). Online stores also have varying price ranges on how much they sell their wares. If you're patient enough, you can sift through each of them so you can get a good model for a reasonable price. You really want to get better deals if you buy cutting band saw from the Internet.

Out of all the available cutting band saws available online, at the Jet 414458 HVBS-56m 5-by-6-inch one two HP Horizontal Vertical Bandsaw seems to be the best out there. It has the following specifications:

* * Cutting capacity: 5-6-inch horizontal vertical bandsaw

* * Blade Size L x W x Thickness (inches) ): Sixty-four one two x one two x 0.0 025
* * Weight: 121 lbs.
* * Large diameter wheels & built-in handle for easy movement

* * Ball bearing supported blade wheel

Jet 414 458 HVBS-56m 5-by-6-Inch one two HP Horizontal/Vertical Band saw has the ability to cut through most sheet metal & is flexible enough to handle other types of metal. It features a heavy 14-gauge allow for easy cutting. It has three-blade speeds to choose from, allowing users to change, depending on their level of comfort & purpose for its use.

As in other power tools, care must be taken in handling a metal band saw. Use eye guards to protect your face. Always hold the knife properly lubricated, not just to make cutting easier, but also to ensure that it doesn't capture & put you at risk. If you have never used a cutting band saw in the past, the first experiment with metal plates that you'll use to test how it's that first one.
