hacksaw blade for carbon fiber

So… have you ever used a hacksaw blade on carbon fibers? If you have, I am sure it was really hard! Carbon fiber is a very strong material and can be challenging to cut into. But, the type of hacksaw blade you use can make this task easier. In this article, you will find out about selecting the best hacksaw blade for carbon fiber cutting as well as some of the most useful tips to utilize them optimally.

The first crucial aspect to take into account when selecting a blade is the TPI that refers to teeth per inch. That is how many teeth are on the blade. Usually the more teeth a blade can have will provide for a smoother cut. It is because all the teeth tend to work together and hence create smoother cutting. Nevertheless, having more teeth on the blade itself can cause it to get stuck and ultimately make for a very painful cutting experience. An 18 to 24 TPI is ideal for cutting carbon fiber. This range presents you with a good balance of the blade being gunk-free and yet it has that nice clean cut.

Choosing the Right Hacksaw Blade for Efficient Carbon Fiber Cutting

The was the blade is made of should also be on your list. Regular hacksaw blades do wear out quickly when you cut carbon fiber — it is a tough material. To prevent this not so good scenario it would be ideal to opt for a blade that is made from high-speed steel or tungsten carbide. These materials lend themself to the aforementioned trick of being more durable so they last when cutting through tough stuff like CF.

If you are cutting carbon fiber materials with hacksaw blades then the material must be held (e.g. clamped) securely in place during use, so that it does not vibrate and cause bits of razor shards to splinter off from around the cut area into your eyes etc. This keeps the blade from moving or shaking when you cut. An uneven cut, after all, is the very thing you are attempting to prevent; and not by cheap fluke. Being able to grip the tail securely means that you can almost guarantee a clean, accurate cut every time.
